Three of Pentacles
In this card, a competent worker proudly displays his work to his patrons. This is the craftsman's card, and it represents doing a job effectively enough to earn assistance. The kind of work this card refers to takes time and requires patience but ultimately yields something greater than its parts.
It doesn't imply that you're an expert in your area; rather, it implies that you've acquired valuable information, skills, and experience. You will be able to demonstrate this and will get the support you need to go on. Your efforts are beginning to bear fruit.
If you can keep a strong sense of purpose in the next months, you'll be in a good position to see your hard work recognized. It is not assured, but if you keep your own pace, it may put a strain on your interpersonal abilities, as you will have to depend on and trust people for the best result. Increase your knowledge and share it. This kind of cooperation and teamwork is essential for your development, and it will be well worth your effort, not just in terms of financial gain, but also in terms of a feeling of enduring achievement.
Working with a talented group of people has a near-mechanical precision to it. A coordinated unit works like a well-oiled machine to do one job with ease — this kind of group will likely provide a much better outcome than if it were completed by one individual. Furthermore, after this group is done, they will feel accomplished, knowing that their work is worthy of the time, effort, and resources that went into it. The energy of the Three of Pentacles is this.
On this card we see three individuals gathered around an arch (or a window) in a church or chapel, and they seem to be etching something in the stone. One of the men sits on a bench, listening to two older men who are discussing a particular strategy. The men are ready to collaborate in order to create something beautiful and helpful. The three pentacles carved onto the masonry above them are a testimony to their dedication and determination.
Slow and Steady Wins the Race
This card may also indicate that you are making preparations. Even if you're just in the planning stages, you're aware that the project is on the horizon and growing closer by the day. Make sure you have everything you need before you start, otherwise you'll waste a lot of time and resources. See if you can obtain a second set of eyes to check over your plans for any mistakes or anything you may have overlooked, much like the two guys poring over the plan on the card.
Finally, this card may indicate that you are attracting a team capable of completing the task. This card doesn't always indicate a competent and willing-to-work-together group, but it does most of the time. Your team will have the knowledge and resources to put ideas into action; they won't just sit in meetings discussing what needs to be done; they'll be excited to go out there and do it. If and when possible, make use of this group.
When studying the Three of Pentacles, examine the following questions. What projects are you currently working on? Is there anything on the horizon? Is it necessary? What preparations must be made before the event can begin? What kind of experts can you persuade to join you on this project?
