Card Description and Core Meaning

A frog sits on a water lily leaf, contemplating three ships circling in a whirlpool. The Three of Wands advises you to keep your mind open and think carefully before beginning to act. Soon you will be presented with an opportunity to expand your horizons. This could be learning a new skill, starting new relationships, or traveling to new places. Now is the calm before the storm. You can see the upcoming challenges related to your new opportunities and use this moment to prepare for them and choose the optimal path.

Reversed Meaning

You rushed ahead without thinking your actions through properly, and now you feel overwhelmed and disappointed. You probably feel that you've wasted a huge reserve of energy and time. Remember that such regression is part of life's greater plan, and every cloud has a silver lining.
