“In spite of everything I shall rise again: I will take up my pencil, which I have forsaken in my great discouragement, and I will go on with my drawing.” Vincent Van Gogh
Often failure comes from giving up too soon, more a lack of flexibility rather than lack of ability.
Today’s Tarot forecast is the Three of Wands reversed or Lord of Established Strength, associated with Aries Sun. I think of it as “waiting for your ship to come in.” I do sometimes see this card for literally expecting a package.
But more often, it’s about having put effort and energy into an enterprise, being at the point where you’re looking to see if your efforts will pay off. This is not a passive waiting to receive, like the High Priestess. It’s more an expectation, for direct results of efforts to bear fruit.
Tarot Threes are creative, giving birth to new directions and Wands are the Fire element, so it’s been an active process. Tarot Nova’s minimalist artwork gives us an interesting perspective—reversed, I’d ask if you are taking a long-term view? Or are you becoming impatient and antsy, wanting to force the issue? The pen suggests you’ve been writing the future, even if you weren’t fully aware of it.
Perhaps concerns at this point aren’t so much an indication of failure as not seeing far enough ahead, discounting what you’ve already put out there as unimportant. It’s not.
The reversed Three of Wands reminds me to be patient and more, to give myself credit for the foundation I’ve built! Even if that ship doesn’t pull in exactly on schedule with exactly the cargo I’d expected, I know it is my ship IS coming and there is something of value on it for me. Got to keep the faith I’ll figure out what to do with it.
Are you watching for any ships?
