Three of Pentacles
Welcome to season 7 of this podcast, where I am talking all about the Suit of Pentacles.
I’m going through each card in the suit, one per episode.
What we explore in this episode:
The collaborative energy behind the Three of Pentacles
How this card reflects skill-building, learning curves, and the magic of working with others
The balance between personal growth and shared progress
What it means to be teachable and open to imperfection
Reflections on creative partnerships and the process of crafting meaningful work together
Three of Pentacles
Pictures from the decks I talked about today :
In this episode, we talk about the grounded teamwork of the Three of Pentacles. This is a card about building something bigger than yourself through steady collaboration, communication, and shared vision. Whether you're working on a creative project, learning a new skill, or deepening your role within a group, the Three of Pentacles celebrates your effort and reminds you—you don’t have to do it alone.
We explore the visual symbolism of this card across several decks, including golden spirals, joined hands, and sacred geometric shapes that hint at harmony and structure. These images reinforce the idea that collective efforts thrive when we honor each person’s gifts and give ourselves room to grow through trial, error, and refinement.
This card also invites us to soften perfectionism. To honor the beauty in being teachable. To celebrate the milestones we’ve already reached while staying open to what's still unfolding.

In season 6 I talked all about the Suit of Wands, one per episode.
Today's Tarot Pull:
Today’s card pull comes from The Citadel: A Fantasy Oracle by Fen Inkwright, and it was The Champion, drawn in reverse.
In this context, the Champion warns us about burnout, stagnation, and the inner critic that whispers we’re not doing enough. But its message also nudges us back toward self-trust and reminds us that we’re allowed to lean on others.
In moments when we doubt ourselves, we can return to the relationships and routines that help us remember why we started in the first place.
Reflective prompts on this card:
What roles do you tend to take on in group projects or collaborations?
Where in your life could you benefit from more teamwork or mutual support?
What skills, perspectives, or energies do you uniquely bring to a shared goal?
How do you navigate differences in working style or vision when working with others?
Are there people or communities that you're ready to build with, but haven’t reached out to yet?
