I have a 5,000 word essay for school due in a week and I haven't started. I've known about it for three months now, but every time I sit down to start it, something else comes up. Today it's this blog. Tomorrow it will be caring for my puppy. The day after that it will be a doctor's appointment (which only takes 15 minutes, but which I have to mentally prepare for all day - I have doctor anxiety issues I won't get into.) and so on, and so on.
This lack of ability to get going on furthering my education, starting my project, or asking for help with time management, is an entirely reversed three of pentacles way to be. My effort is lacking, I'm apathetic, and I'm just plain lazy about it. The reversed three tells me to take one step toward the project, which might mean just opening a word document and writing my name at the top of it. It also tells me to order some takeout and watch La La Land, so I might do that, too. 
The Three of Pentacles upright is about collaboration and mastery, artistic ability, education, and teamwork.

It's October 2, 2020 and it's a rough morning over here politically, culturally, pandemically. But a light in the tunnel is my morning write-ins with my author friends. They write fantasy and science-fiction, I turn fantastical divination tools into science-nonfiction. The meetings just work and we all hone our craft together. Running my morning write-in meetings is Tammy Deschamps, who currently has an LGBTQ fantasy out. Later this year she'll release her paranormal women's fiction Eastside Hedgewitch. Visit her stuff at https://tammydeschamps.com/ So, despite a stressful morning, the Three of Pentacles is a great card to write about. It is one of collaboration and mastery, artistic ability, and teamwork.  The Three of Pentacles is a card of collaboration and mastery, artistic ability, and teamwork. A ball player cannot win without a team. A skilled worker cannot complete the job without the help of coworkers who may be there to contribute, teach, or just tell the worker if the art being hung is level.
The Three is about the teamwork required to get the job done. Questions answered by Three of Pentacles: Who? A tradesperson or trades student What? A poured foundation; concrete Where? Standing on a bench When? The beginning of January; When you start working on a new skill Why? You still have a lot to learn Yes or No?

A new career?
Three of Pentacles combinations With Judgement: Start learning that new skill or working on that new project. With Queen of Wands: A mature person helps one continue their work. With Seven of Cups: "Teamwork Makes the Dream Work!1" With Nine of Swords: There is a lot of anxiety about starting something new - seek therapy or assistance. With Five of Pentacles: One has trouble reaching out for help. 1 This well-known phrase is first attributed to John Maxwell, an American Clergyman. His original quote was "Teamwork makes the dream work, but a vision becomes a nightmare when the leader has a big dream and a bad team." |
