The "Threes" in the Tarot Deck generally suggest
a family unit of mother, father and child. This represents the resolution
of the tension inherent in the number "two" (to due to opposition
of oppposite extremes). However, this numerical "theme" is
one of the least apparent of such themes as the "Threes" vary
widely from suit to suit.
In the case of the Three of Pentacles the theme is honourable works,
and the recognition of honourable works. Typical images depicted on
this card are of skilled craftsmen or professionals engaged in their
work. (The suit of Pentacles is concerned with all aspects of the material
world
-
not
just wealth
and money.)
The presence of this card in a spread may suggest that we have the
skills and abilities to find more creative solutions regarding the
issue of the reading - or, more simply, that we should add our own
personal creative touches wherever possible.
