Named Three of Pentacles, this card comes to occupy the third place of the suit Pentacles of the Lesser Arcanes of the Tarot. On this occasion we want to offer a synthesis of the interpretations attributed to this deck by scholars of this divinatory method apparently emerging in the light of the Italian Middle Ages.

Based on the Tarot Rider, in this card we can observe how a trio of people are inside what we can identify as a chapel or church. One of the men, who most agree to point out as a sculptor, shows his work to the architect builder (who is actually a woman) who holds the plans of the church, and is in the company of a monk, while both listen to the explanation of the Craftsman.

On them you can see three coins, each inscribed with a pentacle, which the experts in symbology agree to point out as a symbol of the element Earth, which is also represented by the suit of Pentacles. Below these three coins is the white rose of the winds, also pointed out by the scholars of symbols as a sign of the four elements, the four cardinal points.

In this way, the three people gathered under these three coins symbolize the Holy Trinity.

Together they can become prosperous, apart everyone will fight without being able to see great results, so it is advisable to smooth out roughness and work as a group or as a family to achieve important results.

If it appears inverted

Like all Tarot cards, the Three Pentacles stakes also have meaning if it ever appears inverted. In this case he loses a lot of the positive traits he had when he was right.

For the work plane this card in the inverted position talks about the problems that the consultant will experience before a team in which he will find it difficult to fit or adapt. It also refers to the inability – out of ignorance, strength or opportunity – that the consultant will find to perform a task assigned by his bosses.

As for the love field, this card talks about a couple’s inability to marry. It may even point to the physical difficulty of the consultant or his partner having children.

In terms of economics, the emergence of the inverted Pentacle Three also speaks to the need to be alert with finances because hard times or narrowing times may be achieved. However – as with all cards – it is necessary to analyze it in context in order to be able to clearly see the scope of the card, both on its positive and negative side.
