The three of pentacles is a card that represents working together. It symbolises the ability to create something beautiful as a group. This card is often shown with three witches studying the three pentacles. It is mostly a YES card.

Upright 3 of Pentacles Yes or No

When asking a yes or no question, an upright 3 of pentacles is almost always an affirmative yes. It is a very positive and encouraging card and has, at least for me, come up in readings when I’ve needed assurance about myself and my friendships. Some questions that you may ask that would warrant the appearance of this card could be ‘are my friendships going well’ or ‘am I helping with my contribution’ if this card appears the answer is without a doubt a yes. However, if there is an appearance of the three of swords in your reading, then the meaning of the 3 of pentacles is likely reversed. The three of swords is a very negative card and when paired with a card about groups and friendships it can easily spell betrayal.

Reversed 3 of Pentacles Yes or No

When reversed, this card is usually a negative response with an answer largely geared towards a no. This is because the reversed meaning of this card represents bad dynamics and non-beneficial cooperation. If you see a reversed 3 of pentacles in your reading, you have possibly asked a question that is something like ‘is this group working well together’ or ‘should I trust them’ and the answer is unfortunately a no. Of course, the individual situation does vary so it may be a positive no, but it does mean that you need to look at how you are working with the people that are in your life.

Upright 3 of Pentacles for Love Yes or No

The 3 of pentacles is not a common card to appear when you are doing romance readings, but it does have a related meaning to it. When asking yes or no questions about romance, the appearance of an upright 3 of pentacles is most commonly a no. It is a card that is representative of friendships and colleagues working together rather than romances. You may have asked something akin to ‘do they see me as more than a friend’ or ‘is there sexual tension’ and the answer would be no. That being said, if it is paired with a card such as The Lovers of the 2 of Cups, then its meaning can be reversed. It will indicate the good communication and partnership between you and your partner and act as a backup to the other cards.

When doing romance readings, the appearance of a reversed 3 of pentacles can usually answer your question with a yes, but that doesn’t mean it will be a positive yes. The reversed meaning of this card is about bad cooperation and partnership and the same goes when reading about romance. If this card appears it is likely that in will be in answer to a question such as ‘are we losing our spark’ or ‘are we a bad match’. But the appearance of this card doesn’t mean you should give up. It means you simply need to take a look at why there may be issues with your partnership and look at how you can improve working together.

A few questions related to practical interpretation of 3 of Pentacles

Answer to ‘Is this friendship group good for me?’

There are obviously a lot of specific yes or no questions that you may ask when doing tarot card readings. The one stated above is one such example in which a 3 of pentacles may appear to give an answer. After all the card is largely about the inner working of groups. An upright 3 of pentacles is a clear yes in this situation, it shows that the group of friends has good communication and their time together can make some beautiful memories. In reverse, the answer to this question is a no. But it doesn’t mean that you should abandon the group altogether. It is giving you a reason to look into how your friendship group functions and why at this point in time it may not be good for you. Perhaps its because of miscommunication, or tension between individuals over a situation that has never been properly resolved. The 3 of pentacles indicates that this group worked really well at least at one point, the card is giving you the opportunity to look at why that is no longer the case and how you can bring it back to the way it was.

Answer to ‘Is this a good business choice?’

As mentioned earlier, this card can relate to career choices in a lot of positive ways. And an upright 3 of pentacles is a clear answer of yes for this particular question. There are lots of things involved in business, choosing who to hire or who to set on a certain group project. Or perhaps it’s a bigger decision and you’re wondering if you should invest in that idea you’ve had. One of the quotes associated with this card is ‘Teamwork makes the dream work,’ by Bang Gae, and it is very true. This is an encouraging card to have when looking at the different career choices. Go after that project you really want to work on and lead that team like you think you can. Reversed, this card is a little more ambiguous. The answer usually means no, but it is not always negative. It might mean holding back on any major decisions and simply looking at the business and team dynamics and how you can help make the best team of people that you can.
