Tips in a Reading
Wands, including the Three of Wands, are Fire energy.
Look at the individual's (or your own, if reading for yourself) aspirations and goals. Are they ambitious and forward-thinking, or are they content with their current situation?
Explore whether the person (or you) has a clear vision for their future. Do they/you have long-term plans and goals, or are they/you living day-to-day without much thought for the future?
Determine whether the person (or you) is optimistic about their prospects. Are they/you hopeful and confident in their/your abilities, or do they/you lack faith in themselves (or your) and their potential? Optimism can influence one's ability to overcome challenges and pursue their goals.
Consider whether the person/you exhibits leadership qualities.
Look at their/your level of patience and perseverance. Is there a willingness to wait for results and endure setbacks, or does one become frustrated and give up easily? Patience is essential for long-term success and achievement of goals.
As always, pay attention to surrounding cards in a tarot spread when interpreting this card, and use your own intuition and inner guidance.
