At times, he must push energy outward to shape his life and at other times, he must pull energy inward to harness its power and attract what he wants. Your strength and focus are prologue to the first glimpses of achievement, but the secret to your long-term prosperity lies in your ability to be patient, attentive, and most of all, nimble.

Visual Description

A solitary man stands on a pale, sloping plain beneath a wash of bright yellow light. He grips a thick twisted rope that connects to three tall, slender staves arranged in an angular formation to his right. The scene is spare and airy, with soft, translucent rays and geometric highlights cutting across the background. At the bottom edge the title "THREE OF WANDS" is printed in capital letters.
