The Three of Wands depicts a cabinet of numbered drawers and open compartments, symbolizing possibilities and the early returns of plans set in motion. It emphasizes measured expansion, foresight, and patient waiting while keeping a steady gaze on distant prospects.

Visual Description
A tall wooden cabinet with many small, numbered drawers fills the card; several drawers are open and display masks, toys, and oddments. A small numeral "3" sits above the cabinet and the word "WANDS" appears in large orange letters along the bottom; one drawer is visibly labeled "HALLOWEEN." An orange cat-faced jack-o'-lantern bowl rests on the floor at left, and a small bottle with a vintage label stands nearby. The scene is framed by an ornate golden gate and the cabinet surface looks worn and well-used.
Meaning
You stand before a chest of possibilities, numbered compartments promising items yet unseen, the small '3' a quiet signal of a moment to look outward. The smell of old wood and the glint of brass remind you that plans you set in motion are beginning to show their first returns, and the open drawers are the scouts of opportunity, parcels of what you have already sent into the world. There is a feeling of measured expansion here: trade routes imagined, distant arrivals expected, and the sensible patience of waiting for results while keeping a steady gaze on the horizon. Excitement and practical planning mingle, the jack-o'-lantern and tiny bottle adding texture and the sense that small resources can be repurposed to larger ends. If you are upright, momentum builds naturally from foresight and steady preparation; if reversed, the same image warns of stalled shipments, poor timing, or a too-narrow view that misses wider prospects. This card asks you to keep your hands on the ledger even as you dream of distant harbors, to revise plans when delays appear, and to remember that expansion requires both courage and clear logistics. Trust the measurements you have taken, but be ready to alter course when the winds of circumstance change.
