What does the Three of Wands tarot card mean?
When drawn upright, the Three of Wands tarot card represents a time of expansion, foresight, and progress, according to Biddy Tarot.
Three of Wands tells you it is time for you to step into your highest potential. The card symbolizes that expansions are coming your way, in places such as travel, study, and career.
“To take advantage of this potential, you must stay committed to your path and be prepared to stretch beyond your comfort zone, knowing your best hopes lie outside of your current environment,” states Biddy Tarot.
When drawn in reverse, Three of Wands represents the idea that one is choosing not to grow or expand, but to stay in their current comfort zone.
The reversed card suggests you may have hit an obstacle and decided to give up on whatever path it is you were taking, but wants you to know the obstacles are meant to be there to strengthen your character. Don’t give up.
