Three of Wands

Meanings

Your ship sails in. Your hard work will soon pay off. You are in a solid position, with material security, satisfaction in your work and respect from your peers.

Reversed (?)

Insecurity strikes. The vantage point you climbed to reach may suddenly seem a perilous position. Seek new allies, review your position to one with less risk so you can feel secure again.

Description

A young man in a rich gold and red patterned gown stands overlooking a harbor into which ships are sailing. He holds a wand in each hand, and a third rests beside him. The sky is golden, as though the sun is setting. He looks deep in thought.
