THREE OF WANDS DESCRIPTION
The man in the Three of Wands Tarot card is the same person as the one on the Two of Wands. He’s left behind the safety of his castle, trading his lordly garments for the pupil’s toga. Now that the theory has been worked out down to the smallest detail, the time has come to set things in motion.
As you can tell from the staff planted in the ground on the Three of Wands, it’s working out nicely. The staff behind him shows that his skills have brought him to a point from which he can clearly see the big picture.
Things are looking good: His ships are sailing across clear and calm seas toward distant lands. He can see them, too. The tall mountains show that they are full of opportunity.
He is leaning on one staff in the Three of Wands Tarot card, meaning that his skills are sufficient to support him – literally and the staff on his left promises that he will even get better at what he’s doing over time.

UPRIGHT THREE OF WANDS
Its meanings speak of taking pride in your own strength, learning through experience, and discovering new opportunities. This card may point to someone who has defied the odds, becoming prosperous despite lacking a formal education.
Perhaps this is even a high or college dropout who has become a successful business person. Excellent news for any business or career situation. Those resumes you have sent out are generating interview requests. Because your career goals are clearly defined, you’ll be able to choose wisely.
But the Three of Wands Tarot card is a bit tricky if you are already in a relationship. The Three of Wands suggests that one of you may be suffering from “wandering eye syndrome.” If that’s your partner, you already know that.
The good news is that he or she isn’t physically stepping out of the relationship – and has no intentions of doing so. If that’s you, you better wise up to the fact that your partner knows what you’re doing. True, you mean no harm, but your significant other is hurting.
