Alright, let’s talk about today’s tarot thing. I pulled the 3 of Pentacles this morning during my usual quiet time before the day really kicked off.
So, I laid it out on the table, just looked at it for a bit. You know the one, with the folks working together, carving away at something in what looks like a church or a big old building. There’s usually a younger worker showing his stuff to maybe a monk and an architect, or something like that. That’s the vibe I got anyway.
I didn’t really do a formal spread or anything fancy. Just pulled that one card. I sat there, sipping my coffee, and just let my eyes wander over the image. What struck me first was the collaboration aspect. It wasn’t just one person doing the work; it was a team effort. Each person seemed to have their own role, their own skill they were bringing to the table.
Then I started thinking about this little project I’ve got going on the side – trying to fix up that old shed in the backyard. I’ve been hitting a wall with the roofing part. I know the basics, but getting it properly sealed and angled, that’s tricky stuff.
Connecting it to Real Life
Looking at the 3 of Pentacles, it kinda clicked. It felt like the card was telling me, “Hey, dummy, you don’t have to do this all by yourself.” It’s about recognizing skill – both your own and others’. It’s about that early stage of building something solid, where you need different kinds of expertise to make it work right.
It made me think about my neighbor, Gary. He used to do roofing years ago. The card sort of nudged me, you know? Maybe I should just swallow my pride and ask Gary if he could give me some pointers, or even lend a hand for an hour or two. It’s not about being unable; it’s about pooling skills to get the job done properly.
- Recognizing I needed help.
- Thinking about who has the skills I lack (Gary).
- Understanding the project needs collaboration for quality.
So, that was my practice with the 3 of Pentacles today. No big mystical revelations, just a solid, practical reminder. It’s about craftsmanship, sure, but also about teamwork and learning from others to build something worthwhile. Made me decide to actually go talk to Gary later today. Just a simple, useful nudge from the cards.
