The "Threes" in the Tarot Deck generally suggest
a family unit of mother, father and child. This represents the resolution
of the tension inherent in the number "two" (to due to opposition
of oppposite extremes). However, this numerical "theme" is
one of the least apparent of such themes as the "Threes" vary widely
from suit to suit.
The theme of the Three of Wands is "Waiting". Many decks illustrate
a figure in a pensive pose. He/she may be waiting, anticipating, contemplating,
or simply reflecting on a situation. This is one of the those cards
for which the reader usually has much symbolism from which to discern
the direction of emphasis of this card in the specific situation concerned.
Generally this card may indicate the benefits of thoughtful planning,
preparation (if need be), and patience where appropriate.
