Card Reading:

The character in the Three of Wands is stationary, resting, looking out to sea, watching the ships come in and unload. These ships are carrying his supplies, or perhaps raw materials or money from goods sold in other countries. Although eager to move on, he understands the benefits of sending the ships away first and staying where he is. In this way, he is exploring life's opportunities while taking control of existing achievements. The Three of Wands shows that action has brought the plan a small step closer to completion, and he is now acting on the decision he made in the Two of Wands. The Three of Wands can represent achievement. He is emotional and eager as he reserves the space of the Wands for the stability that will appear in the Four of Wands. Urgency is the characteristic of the Three of Wands. It is often a card representing travel, especially when it appears in the same deck as the Reversed Page of Swords, the Ace of Wands, or the Eight of Wands. The character on the card is wearing a travel cloak and standing with his back to us. Looking at this scene from behind, we can also feel his anticipation for the arrival of the ship. The Three of Wands thrives on the realization of expected goals. Temperament is needed now, for there is enough momentum in the situation to facilitate change and growth.
