The Gold Foil Tarot (RWS tarot)- Three of Wands- depicts a stately and calm looking gentleman, looking outward towards the sea, at his own ships sailing away in commerce. He is holding and slightly leaning on one staff/wand in his right hand while the other 2 are planted in the ground behind him, forming a triangular enclosure. Therefore, he symbolizes established strength. As always in the Rider-Waite-Smith/Gold Foil deck, the wands are sprouting leaves and have a phallic head, indicating they are fertile, fecund, and creative power.

The Tarot of the Old Path uses the medieval term rods instead of wands. It is still in suit of fire which is shown as red clothing for the two men on this card. On the Three of Rods a young man is in the act of construction of a basic structure, using two forked ash rods. Ash in the language of flowers, implies strength. An older man, implying wise craftsmanship, is handing him the crossing rod, as the younger reaches up for it.

In the language of flowers, the pear tree the older wiser man is in, implies wealth, and comfort and establishes the Craftsman's credentials as wise, well-off and an able teacher.

. However, the divination meanings are the same as those of the Thoth 3 of Wands.

Traditionally, the Wands are red and gold, symbolizing the universal element of Fire. This element is the "Spirit" in all things and/or the motion within the movement of everything. Hence, we have polarities shown on more colored cards, as one end of the wand is in the air and the other end grounded. Energy must have point A and point B to flow to, for it to animate an object. Since all "things", must have a measurement to exist in form, this energy can flow from the "Above to the Enclosure Below" and/or from light to dark, male to female, positive to negative etc. The Rod cards, the wands, are shown sprouting leaves, implying fertility. The primary message of this card seems to be that plans are being made, but help is needed to complete them​. Therefore, the implied advice of this card is to act and accept assistance as a partnership or cooperation is possible.

When the Three/3 of wands is thrown in a divination, it implies:

• Enterprise.
• Discovery.
• Effort.
• Trade.
• Established strength. 
• Commerce.

When Reversed:

• The end of troubles.
• Suspension or cessation of adversity.
• Disappointment.
• Toil.
