Radiant: Rider-Waite-Smith Tarot- Three of Pentacles
The Rider-Waite Three of Pentacles concentrates on the meanings of employment, business, and constructive building, by illustrating a medieval church scene while three artisans are at work. Some of the colors in this scene may have something to do with Mars, as in the red roses on the odd robe of one of the personages. Roses are sacred to the Goddess and the Third Sephiroth- Binah, and red is the color assigned to Binah in her martial/active state. This Tarot Card is traditionally called the Three of Pentacles, as shown in many medieval art tarot decks. It's primary meaning is "As above, so below". However, the Pentacle although the sigil of man, fails to imply the spinning motion of all Atoms, the "Great Work" material of the physical universe. Hence, many nontraditional tarot decks choose a disk (disc), for its stability and propensity for accuracy, depends on its spin. In physics it is known that there are really no "solids", as all things have more space than material, as well as, even the rocks have within them spinning atoms. Hence, we can understand the Great Works, started with the first spinning atom and that "being" is the Great Work of The One Energy that is in all things.
Jungian Tarot- 3 of Pentacles
Response to conflict.
The Jungian Tarot- 3 of Pentacles, keeps its minimalistic art in this card. Here, 3 pentacles form a defensive wall. The subtitle to this card is "response to conflict", the conflict represented here can be a social structure in work or home life. This may be the result of trouble through the family early in life, especially through the father. There may be an ambivalent, eccentric, attitude and/or reaction to authority figures in general. Physiologically this card often represents repress materials of childhood, early nurtured figures about authority figures, to which one now responds as an adult. Therefore, this often represents the playing out of repressed hostility toward an authoritarian father figure by overreacting to demands of an employer. At other levels, this card suggests an increase in finances. It also suggests success in art or music or even religious or philosophical pursuits. As all of these tend to delve deeply in unconscious materials.
