The Three of Wands is the Lord of Established Strength and represents vision, confidence in self and integrity. Sun in Aries is aligned with this card, and this brings enterprise, drive and energy. The three wands represent spirit, creativity and action combining and working together to unleash positive results and fruitful rewards. Enthusiasm and optimism are highlighted and are important qualities to keep you on this path you have created and to see the outcomes that you are hoping for. The Three is an card of initial success, which means there is still work to do, and a lot of it. The Wands refer to creativity and passion, the qualities of Fire - you need to keep the spark alight while you are waiting to see what will come in from your work. The need for a risk in the past was what started the actions that result in this card - without the risk then nothing changes. But the willingness to take the risk was strong - but risk doesn't have to be foolish. Calculated risks are taken by wiser heads, and that is what is indicated here. And so this card comes into your reading to tell you that the risk that you took will pay off and you now need to wait to see the fruits of your labour, so some patience and trust is also required. Your world is about to expand even more, and so travel and contact with other lands or cultures is highlighted now. There is an emphasis on the past and a history of working hard towards what you want, perhaps being willing to do the work required that others are not willing or able to do. You may feel pleased now as you wait for the bounty of your efforts to arrive, and remember, that this is only the beginning. Challenges and problems will always arise, but as you move down this path and experience small successes leading to bigger successes, you will begin to notice that what crosses your path represents higher quality problems, and that is the true measure of a successful life.
