THREE OF PENTACLES
In These Spread Positions...Interpret the Three of Pentacles Meanings to Include:
213
1 GOVERNED BY THE MAGICIAN: PHYSICAL GIVENS, OUT OF THE FATHER
UPRIGHT: Craftsmanship, inherited skills, livelihood through your father. Early recognition/
dedication to your craft, from woodworking to architecture, from massage to medicine. Your
profession should be a lifelong one around which everything revolves. You do best with your body,
your hands (your feet and head if you are a soccer player). INVERTED: You may be better than, or
not as good as, your father or the family tradition. Or you may depart from the pattern in some way,
minor or major. If this is so, it will still be built on, or against, this tradition.
2 GOVERNED BY THE HIGH PRIESTESS: EMOTIONAL GIVENS, OUT OF THE MOTHER
UPRIGHT: Craftsmanship, inherited skill, livelihood through your mother’s lineage. Early recognition
and dedication of time and practice to your choice of activity/work. Skill will be more in the
arts than crafts as such. This card here can be the mark of the prodigy. Music, dance, theater,
painting, sculpture are possibilities. INVERTED: You may be better than, or not as good as, your
mother or the family tradition. Or you may be meant to depart from the pattern in some way, minor
or major. If this is so, it will nevertheless still be built on, or against, this tradition.
3 GOVERNED BY THE EMPRESS: MENTAL GIVENS, INTELLECTUAL PREDISPOSITION
UPRIGHT: Mental skills dedicated to work with crafts and physical arts and sciences. Mental
mastery, leadership, administration, business affairs, in your creative community, your field of
crafts/arts. Intellectually at the top of leadership and achievement in these disciplines, with the
content and quality of your work making its own philosophical commentary. INVERTED: The
mental, ideological aspect may be a distortion of the work itself, or get in the way of the work. The
reverse could also be true with the mental, ideological content not getting its just due.
4 GOVERNED BY THE EMPEROR: SPIRITUAL GIVENS, LIFE PURPOSE
UPRIGHT: Your art—the output of your handiwork, the beauty that flows from the movement, the
use of your body, the mystery you unlock from the inert materials of the world—is carried to such
a high level as to bear witness to the hard reality of the spiritual realm, of the certain existence of
God. INVERTED: There will be parallel developments/effects in this lifetime directly as a result of
the power this talent possesses. The work will predominate.
5 GOVERNED BY THE HIEROPHANT: SYSTEMS BORN INTO, SOCIETAL INFLUENCE
UPRIGHT: Early environment centered around the work; in some cases the family business.
The larger community itself may be involved in the art/craft, as was true with early American
Shaker furniture. The protestant work ethic applies here too, where work as a good in itself lies
at the root of decisions/activities. INVERTED: On one extreme, there could have been too
much emphasis on work and control. On the other extreme, there could have been the complete
opposite with a more Dionysian, free spirit, antithesis to a work ethic—a community devoted
to pleasure.
6 GOVERNED BY THE LOVERS: EMOTIONAL TAPES, BASIS FOR RELATING/CREATING
UPRIGHT: Passion for an art/craft, even a material—a sculptor’s love for stone, a weaver’s love for
cloth, the farmer’s love of the soil. This will most likely be your livelihood, but it may make do as
your hobby. Relationships and activities will be subordinated to this love for your work. INVERTED:
In one extreme, this passion may be excessive. Without balancing with other input/activity to some
degree, the work itself will suffer by losing its relevance and vitality. In the other extreme, the
passion is not sufficiently honored and not for appropriate reasons.
7 GOVERNED BY THE CHARIOT: PHYSICAL RESOURCES; MEANS TO ACHIEVE
UPRIGHT: Your ability to extract a finished product from something entirely raw. Your art, your
craft itself. You, once you turned on and applied yourself to the task. Independence. Resourcefulness.
