The footprint theme of Margarete Petersen's Two of Coins
continues into the Three, but here we see only one of them, set within the blue
curves of the number ‘3’. The duality has been absorbed, ready to start
something new. A tarot friend pointed out that the Om symbol represents the seed of new growth, something I hadn't noticed.

In the system I follow, the Three of
Pentacles/Coins is linked to Mars in Capricorn (as well as the middle ten days
of Capricorn – NOW!). Mars brings a
different energy to Capricorn, compared to the expansiveness and benevolence of
Jupiter in the Two of Pentacles. Here we’re
looking at fiery Martian/martial energy that asserts itself cautiously and in a
disciplined way. Ambition, decisiveness, combined with Capricorn’s (the
initiating, practical cardinal Earth sign) focus on careful planning. Patience,
not a quality we might usually associate with fiery Mars, comes into play here.
The sure-footed mountain goat makes its way slowly and steadily, picking its
path carefully but with determination.
Margarete Petersen, in the LWB, talks about
co-operation in the sense of the physical, social and emotional working
together – a slightly different slant on the way I’d usually interpret this
card: focusing on the more practical, down-to-earth, tangible issues.
Working together,
Ideas become concrete
Through combined effort.
