Okay, so I’ve been diving deep into tarot lately, and the Three of Pentacles keeps popping up in my love readings. It’s been…interesting, to say the least. So I wanted to share my experience and how I finally figured out what it was trying to tell me.
At first, I was totally confused. I mean, pentacles are usually about work and money, right? Not exactly the romantic vibes I was hoping for. I pulled the card a few times, asking about my current relationship, and got the Three of Pentacles every single time. I was like, “Okay, tarot, I get it, we work well together, but is that all?”
My “Aha!” Moment
- First Attempt: I Googled like crazy. Every site said the same basic stuff: teamwork, collaboration, building something together. Helpful, but not groundbreaking. I already knew my partner and I were a good team. We’d renovated our apartment, planned elaborate vacations, even survived a puppy together – teamwork was our middle name.
- Second Attempt: I decided to do a more focused reading. Instead of just “What about my relationship?” I asked, “What do I need to focus on in my relationship right now?” And bam, Three of Pentacles again. This time, though, I paid closer attention to the imagery. The card shows people working together on a cathedral. It’s not just about doing things together, it’s about building something lasting.
- Third Attempt:It’s combined with my personal experience.I realized I’d been so focused on the day-to-day stuff, the “tasks” of the relationship, that I’d forgotten about the bigger * partner and I are good to each other, but i realized something big missed.
So, I took a step back. I stopped obsessing over the card meaning and started thinking about our shared goals. Where did we actually want to be in five, ten, twenty years? We had some really honest conversations – some uncomfortable ones, too. We talked about our dreams, our fears, and what we really wanted our life together to look like.

It wasn’t easy, but it was exactly what we needed. We started making concrete plans. We revisited our shared savings goals, discussed our long-term career aspirations, and even started brainstorming ideas for a future home. It wasn’t just about doing chores together anymore; it was about consciously building our shared future, brick by brick.
The Three of Pentacles, for me, wasn’t about romance in the traditional sense. It was about the work of love, the conscious effort to build a lasting partnership. It’s not always glamorous, but it’s real, and it’s rewarding. And honestly, that’s way more fulfilling than any fleeting, fiery passion.
