Advice for summer love, please! THE CARD:
Three of Pentacles, Minor Arcana Rulerships: Taurus, Venus. Season: Winter. Element: Earth. Colours: Brown, Green. Direction: North. The Deck: The Rider-Waite Coleman-Smith, first published in 1910. Card illustration here by Aimée. Lunar Position: I cast the reading during the Waxing Crescent in Gemini, with white sage, cedar and compassion. May it harm none. Description: In the Three of Pentacles, in the Rider-Waite Tarot deck, we see three figures inside a place of worship. One person has been building and ornamenting the sacred place. The other figures are a monk and a wealthy patron who together present the worker with a reward for their skill and artistry. Advice: We could talk about the number three (3) and sets of threes, for a very long time. Humans clearly have a special connection with the number three, and in the Tarot we see potent messages in all the threes in the deck.
