It is also a sign of promises, so somebody may keep their promise to you today in a way that makes you feel very happy and alive. Sometimes this card appears when lovers are missing each other, and the third party is the distance. This card is a signal to pick up the phone or send a message to someone just to let them know you are longing for them and thinking of them today.
Symbolism
The 3 of Wands Tarot card is very optimistic and always pleasant to see in any Tarot reading. Here we see a man on a hill, holding three wands and looking off into the distance. This card is bright and sunny, and the buds on the wands represent growth and accomplishment, so we have a sense of accomplishment with this card. The first phase of something has been a success, and you are looking off into the distance with a more powerful realization that your ship will be coming in.
This is a Tarot card of promises being kept and a sense of fulfillment. A third party may be in the picture, too, which is very influential in ensuring your ship is about to come in.
