Three of Wands in Tarot: A Symbol of Expansion, Momentum, and Future Growth
The Three of Wands represents progress, foresight, and the anticipation of success. It is the card of expansion, waiting for results, and stepping into a greater version of yourself. Unlike the Two of Wands, where planning dominates, the Three of Wands signifies that action has already begun, and the rewards are beginning to form.
Traditionally, the card depicts a figure standing on a high ground, looking out over the ocean as ships sail forward. This symbolizes ventures set into motion, waiting for returns, and the courage to embrace new possibilities.
If you pull The Three of Wands, it’s a sign that you are on the right path—momentum is building, and your efforts will soon bear fruit.
