My Journey with the Three of Coins
Alright, let’s talk about the Three of Coins. I remember a time, maybe a couple of years back, when this card just kept popping up for me. Seriously, nearly every time I did a quick pull for myself, there it was. At first, I didn’t pay it much mind. Just another card, right? Looked like some folks working on building something, maybe a church window or archway.
But after seeing it so consistently, I figured I should probably pay attention. It felt like the universe was trying to nudge me about something. I wasn’t working on any big construction projects, that’s for sure. I was actually feeling a bit scattered, trying to juggle a few different personal projects and feeling like I wasn’t getting anywhere fast with any of them. Plus, I had this one collaboration effort at work that was just… dragging. Lots of talk, not much action.
So, I sat down and really looked at the card one evening. Saw the people working together – one looked like the architect or planner, maybe the client, and the others looked like the skilled workers actually doing the job. It clicked then. It felt like it was talking about teamwork, but also about planning and bringing different skills together to actually make something real.
I decided to lean into it. My practice became focusing on these aspects:
- Collaboration: Instead of trying to do everything myself on those personal projects, I reached out. Asked a friend for feedback on one idea, roped my partner into helping brainstorm another. Even at work, I made a conscious effort to really listen during that group project, trying to understand what skills each person brought, instead of just pushing my own ideas.
- Planning: I actually took the time to map out steps for one of my projects. Just simple stuff, like breaking down the big goal into smaller tasks. Felt a bit tedious at first, I usually just like to jump in.
- Recognizing Early Stages: The card also felt like it was about that initial phase, where things are just starting to take shape. Not the finished product, but the solid foundation being built. So I tried to appreciate the small wins, the progress made, even if it wasn’t huge.
It wasn’t like magic overnight. The work collaboration still had bumps, people are people, you know? But focusing on clear roles and acknowledging everyone’s part seemed to smooth things out a bit. We actually finished a draft proposal, which felt like a big step forward after weeks of spinning our wheels.
And for my personal stuff? Breaking things down definitely helped. I actually finished one small project I’d been putting off for ages. It wasn’t earth-shattering, but it felt good, like laying a solid brick in place. Seeing that tangible result, however small, was encouraging.
So, yeah. My time with the Three of Coins wasn’t about suddenly becoming a master builder. It was more about learning to appreciate the power of working together, the importance of a decent plan, and recognizing that progress often starts small. It taught me to value that initial phase of creation and the different skills needed to get something off the ground. It’s a practical card, really. Less about grand mystical insights and more about the grounded reality of getting things done, especially with others. That was my experience, anyway.
