Intermediate result
Tarot 3 of Wands has something in common with the Two of Wands, but the Two says that the person has already risen to the top, has already achieved what he wanted. The troika says that you have achieved it, but this is just an intermediate result. Everything is going according to plan, everything is fine, you have completed the next task, implemented the next stage of the plan. But this is just another stage.
A very important point is that people do not always pay attention to the fact that they have completed some stage, part of their path. There is an ultimate goal, if I don’t achieve it, then I haven’t done anything, I haven’t realized anything. But the map says, no, you achieved it, you built it. For example, I’m building a house with three floors. I have already built the first floor, the second floor is not completed, there is no roof yet, but you can already live there.
Should we move on? The Troika of Posokhov says exactly this, that I have a plan, but now in this place, when I have achieved some kind of success, a stage, I can revise the plan. To correct my course, to what extent am I going correctly, to what extent the path I am taking is effective and perfect.
After all, I started several years ago, maybe something has already changed, maybe what I’m trying to achieve is no longer so important to me. Maybe it has already lost its significance and value for me and everything needs to be reconsidered. The second meaning of the card is connected to this, it is a bifurcation point.
Bifurcation point
This is a technical term when a certain process can go in an unpredictable way. And the psychology of this moment, when a person can do something, but not do something. Do one thing or do another, thereby changing your life, directing it in different directions. This is a plan - not a dogma. So I have a plan, this is the only way I should do it - no, in fact this is not a dogma.
There are many roads leading to the goal, I have completed a certain stage, I see my final goal, I know how to get there. But I can go to it in different ways, I can go along a mountain, I can go along a ravine, I can swim along a river, I can ask a cab driver to give me a lift.
Different roads open up before me. So, when I was walking, for example, I didn’t know that there would be a ravine there, I looked, and there was such a convenient path along the ravine, I could walk there much faster. And that doesn't mean I have to stick to the previous plan. There is one more point about this card. She offers to rest before starting a new stage, before storming the heights.
I came to the base camp, if you are involved in mountaineering, climbed to the top, to a certain height, rested, acclimatized and went up the mountain. I got up, rested, and moved on. You have the opportunity to look, look back, look forward, compare what you have gone through, how much is left, how best to go. Maybe you need to make adjustments to your plans, etc.
Remains in the past
I did it, but how much are my old merits and achievements worth? Yes, they don’t cost anything, they don’t cost anything and they don’t mean anything. What you had is in the past. Whether it was a relationship, whether there were any affairs, all this remained behind your back. Tomorrow you will have a new life, there is no need to pull the dinosaur by its long tail, drag out your entire past.
The situation will change, whether we want it or not, what happened before is in the past. The card clearly says that everything is behind you, a new life lies ahead. If you don’t want to, stay in this place where you were; if you want to move forward, there is an opportunity.
What does the lasso about health have in store?
Interpretation in health matters requires a certain concentration.
- The most common interpretation of the card in direct orientation is an abundance of physical and mental strength.
- In an inverted position - lack of energy. Sometimes the presence of hidden chronic diseases.
- However, if a person has recently been diagnosed with a serious illness, and he received the Three of Staves in a direct orientation, this may indicate that the illness will develop acutely.

Meaning of the 3 of Wands in love and relationships
The 3 of Wands in relationships promises a favorable future. In the upright position, the card indicates a very strong union, where mutual understanding and respect reign. If a couple has been together for a long time, then a new stage is expected in their life soon. For example, a wedding, moving to a new home or meeting your parents.
In an inverted position, the Three of Wands in a relationship is also of a warning nature. Relationships may have problems, but they can be fixed. For example, learn to take responsibility, listen to the advice of smart people, and not give up in case of failure.

Family and home
Direct position
An established life, affection of family members to each other, good mutual understanding, the ability to find a common language.
This family is stable thanks to common work, which unites and brings consistency in actions and mutual understanding.
Inverted
The relationship has not satisfied the questioner for a long time; he has been thinking for a long time about how to end it. Soon he will have the opportunity to dot the i's, correct the situation, or break up. For lonely people, an inverted card speaks of their rudeness and selfishness towards loved ones, which makes it difficult for them to build strong relationships.

In terms of finances, there is enviable stability. There is a chance that the situation will soon begin to change for the better. If you want to make a major purchase, for example, get a new home or car, then now is the most favorable time to realize these desires.
In an inverted position, the card signals that a person has taken a wrong turn at work. Now he is wasting precious time and mental strength. It is better to change your place of work or direction of activity, then the situation will stabilize. Also, the Arcanum Three of Wands can warn that the fortuneteller has contacted an unscrupulous partner who may betray him at the most decisive moment.
The key to successful work endeavors lies in hard work and insight.
Job
In matters of work and career, the upright card is a symbol of exaltation. All your achievements in this field of activity are appreciated. The foundation that you have laid for many years gives you confidence in the future.
The reversed Three of Staves will indicate:
- hopelessness;
- lack of career growth;
- hard work without decent evaluation.
Working in your current place, you are investing your time and health in a “bottomless pit”, you will not be appreciated, and you have no future in this area.

You should not ignore the offer, as new, profitable prospects will open up for the fortuneteller.

In an inverted position, the Three of Wands card indicates a difficult period in life. Unfortunately, the person himself is to blame for his own problems.

Questions to ask when drawing a card
If 3 Maces appears in the layout, you should think about whether the querent’s position is now stable. The map will tell you what to do next in order to preserve and increase your existing assets.
Arkan answers the question of whether a person can achieve what he wants. The map can tell you whether it is worth taking active action and making important decisions now. However, for correct interpretation, neighboring Arcana must be taken into account. The Arcan also allows you to understand whether the querent will be able to self-realize in the chosen field of activity.

Card tip of the day
Fate itself favors man. Soon he will achieve success in the affairs for which he has strived for so long and put a lot of effort. Enthusiasm and inspiration will not leave him; in a creative frenzy, he can do even more than originally planned. As for personal relationships, you will have to seriously work on them. Moreover, it is not worth leaving efforts for the rest of your life. In terms of finances, a person has achieved success, but this is far from his ceiling. The ability to earn more depends only on him.
Any undertakings should not be shelved. Now is a good time to implement new projects in your career and relationships.
In an inverted position, the Three of Wands card indicates that projects need a little more work, it’s better to think about them. If you feel tired and exhausted, then it is better to give yourself time to recover, do not rush, and do not panic.
The meaning of a reversed card
The Three of Wands reversed means imprudence and recommends thinking before making an important decision. Maybe we should even put it off for a while until better times come. Also, an inverted card can mean a lack of prospects or unfulfilled expectations, a loss of chances for success.
A person does not commit new actions and does not act decisively because he does not feel reliable support and does not see prospects in the future. Such an interpretation is possible as the presence of ulterior thoughts, hidden motives, outside help.
The gloominess of the reversed card means treason, betrayal, duplicity, dependence or a dirty trick. Stagnation or uncertainty, broken plans, neglect of the enemy, lack of cooperation, bad trip.
Hollander, one of the tarot readers, believes that the interpretation should look like solved problems, difficulties left in the past and a calm life, but this meaning is used extremely rarely.
