Three of Wands Tarot Card Meaning
What Three of Wands means upright and reversed, with readings for love, money and career.
The picture and its symbols
Three of Wands shows a figure seen from behind on a cliff, watching ships head out to sea. It belongs to the suit of Wands, the element of fire (passion, action and challenge), and its rank carries the theme of growth and expansion (Three). The ships have already sailed. This is the stretch between sowing and return, and it calls for a wider view rather than impatience.
