I. Three of Wands Rider Waite image description
The Three of Wands Tarot card depicts a man standing on a cliff, turning his back and looking out over the hills in a far distance. From this height, he can see everything which is ahead and recognize the challenges as well as opportunities that are imminent. The three rods around him are pinned down to the ground, showing commitment to future plans.
This is a card for vision and anticipation. When we want to see further, we will have to climb higher. By going up, we increase our limits and free ourselves from the present situation. We break away from the situation and create our views, our perspectives.
A long-term vision is the nature of a leader which is another meaning of the Three of Wands. As we look further, we will have more knowledge to guide others to the best future for them. Someone who understands the way will show others how to follow. When seeing this card, you should know that it is time to accept your vision and be confident so you can lead others to pursue that vision.
A leader is not only a visionary, but also someone who is willing to go there first, if necessary. It is also a card of discovery. Let’s compare this character to the Fool who is also standing on a cliff. The Fool stride in innocence without realizing he is about to fall into his own destiny. The adventurer in this card are also willing to stride, but with a clear sense of what they are doing. His courage comes with calculations and is less spontaneous.
The Three of Wands encourages you to bravely step into new areas. Let the ships on the horizon take you to discover remote areas which have never been known.
