the Hierophant & the Three of Pentacles

Aug 25, 2007 09:13

So my last card was the Hierophant and I've been sick and was unable to really focus on it. So knowing I really didn't get much perspective from the card I still desided to pick another, actually I let Angelus pick it for me. I shuffled all the cards speard them out and let him grab - He picked the Hierophant again. I guess I really wasn't ready to move past that card! So it's been another few days and I understand the card, but I'm having a hard time relating it to my life, so I pick again....


The Three of Pentacles is one of the cards in the Tarot that focuses on the group. (The Three of Cups and the Hierophant are the others.) As Pentacles are grounded and practical, this card represents a task-oriented team - people who are working cooperatively toward a common goal. There are few jobs that can be accomplished alone. We need the help of others to achieve our goals. Sometimes the Three of Pentacles is a sign that you will be more productive if you work with others. You don't have to do it all by yourself.

In the opening of the film Mission Impossible, a crack team of specialists is working on a dangerous assignment. The members of the team are mapping out a strategy, coordinating resources and drawing on their skills and ingenuity to complete the mission. This is the Three of Pentacles in action: teamwork, planning and competence.

This card can also show a need for planning and preparation. Now is not the time to rush into something or begin a project with only a vague idea of what it's about. You need to think everything through, go over all the possibilities and make sure you work out the details. Do your homework, and your undertaking will flourish.

Another feature of the Three of Pentacles is competence - the ability to get the job done. How rare this is nowadays! This card tells you that you have the skills and knowledge you need. You can attract capable people and create a successful environment. Know that the situation is (or will be) in good hands, but be sure to concentrate on excellence in your work. Be proud of what you do and how you do it. Then you will accomplish your "impossible" mission.

Interesting that I pick a card with a similar focus. I guess there really is a lesson here for me.
