Visual Description
A robed figure stands on a grassy promontory holding a tall wand while two other staves are planted in the ground beside him. Swirling, starry skies in bright yellows and greens loom above a churning sea where three ships sail away toward the horizon. The scene is rendered in a vivid, Van Gogh–like style with intense, curving brushstroke patterns. At the top is the Roman numeral 'III' and at the bottom a label in Cyrillic reads 'ТРОЙКА ЖЕЗЛОВ.'
Meaning
You stand at a ledge, staff in hand, watching ships sail toward new markets and horizons; the wind on your face and the creak of rigging herald possibilities already set in motion. The vivid sky and restless sea remind you that plans born of vision now only require patience and steady oversight as trade, opportunity, or creative projects travel outward on their appointed course. This card speaks of foresight, leadership, and the early rewards of enterprise — you have moved beyond the first sparks and now await returns with active expectation. Sometimes the horizon is farther than hoped and minor storms appear; in such moments the image also whispers of delays, miscalculation, or the need to expand your viewpoint rather than cling to a narrow plan. When hopes are met, the panorama becomes a promise fulfilled; when hopes falter, it asks you to reassess routes and alliances, to shore up resources and adapt your strategy. Whether urging confident expansion or cautioning against impatience, the scene insists on engagement: keep watching, tend what you have launched, and be ready to act when opportunity returns to port.
Visual Description
A lone robed figure stands on a grassy promontory with their back to the viewer, holding one of three wooden wands planted into the earth. Two other wands rise beside them as tall markers, and several ships sail on a choppy sea toward the distant horizon. The sky above is alive with swirling, luminous stars and bright circular forms, casting a vivid, turbulent light over the scene. Wild grasses and small flowers grow around the figure, and the waves below break into foaming crests.
