Survey your bounty – Today is a Three of Wands Day

With the sun in Cancer (containment) and the moon in Aries (entrepreneurial spirit), today is a Three of Wands day.

On a divinatory level, the Three of Wands implies initial completion of some important project or idea.   The foundations have been laid – the first feedback is positive – there’s promise and potential – but of course – there’s more work to be done before the project is fully baked.

For the Kabbalist, today’s energy relates to the 3^rd sephira, Binah, which represents the female principle of creative power from which all things are born.   While the 2^nd sephira, Chokmah, represents the male principle Force, it is in Binah, that this potency gives way to Form.  It’s rather like the title of a popular 1940’s comedy film ‘And Baby Makes Three’.

As with all tarot threes, the Three of Wands suggests strength and stability.  In numerology, the number three symbolizes the holy trinity – Father, Son and Holy Ghost – birth, life, and death – past, present, and future.

Yet just as we stand surveying our bounty on this solid ground, in our hearts we know all too well that it will change and grow – for everything on this earth is born to die.

So on a Three of Wands day, take time to honour that which your determined efforts have wrought.  But don’t take too much time – for now is not the time for procrastination.

With your shirtsleeves rolled up you will soon need to recommence your toils with renewed optimism if that is  – you wish to fully realise your ambitions.
