Description and Symbolism

Esoteric Symbolism Embedded in the Three of Pentacles

Two men are in a church showing a third man what they have drawn. The drawing looks remarkably like the building they are standing in. It looks like they have plans and need the third man’s approval. Maybe they are asking for a loan to start their own business. One man is dressed in a jester’s outfit and the other is dressed as a monk. The jester’s costume indicates that the two men are just starting out. This is a new beginning for them. It also indicates diversity.

Threes in readings can indicate that there are three people involved. Many threes can indicate delays, but with the promise of future success.

Potential Outcomes for the Three of Pentacles

What could be.....

The Three of Pentacles Outcome in Love

 

As noted prior, it can indicate love triangles. Look for at least 3 court cards to support this. If this is the beginning of a romance and there are three people involved, they might not be able to decide who to choose. They say they are “busy,” but in reality, they are “busy” trying to balance two potential relationships. Unlike the 3 of Swords, there is a much greater possibility that they choose you. Just be patient. Some relationships take more time than others.

If there isn’t a love triangle and you are asking about a potential romantic partnership, you will talk to them or see them again.

If you are asking about an existing relationship, ask yourself about the love triangle first, then if there isn’t anyone else in your relationship, this card indicates a good, steady relationship, built on a strong foundation. 

If you are dating someone or wondering about romance, you will talk to them or see them again.

Three of Pentacles Outcome

The Three of Pentacles as an outcome means you are on the right course. Any new business ventures will eventually see the fruits of your labor. New opportunities will manifest.

Reversed Meaning

Three of Pentacles Reversed

The Three of Pentacles Reversed indicates a lack of cooperation. Plans may end up falling apart.

Refusals are indicated. If this is a work question, you may not get the job or loan you want. If you are in the position of leadership, you may have to make cut backs.

In love, the Three of Pentacles reversed is about setbacks and advises that you not take the invitation or proposal.

If in a relationship, you may have to cut ties with a partner. You (or the other person) believes themselves to be superior to the other person. This is a blockage due to triangles, setbacks, idleness or infidelity.

I had this card pop up the other day and thought of the song by Celine Dion, “Refuse to Dance.” Maybe you should just say no.
