The Three of Pentacles card from the Rider-Waite-Smith tarot

On the card

A stonemason on a bench is consulted by two figures with a plan, three pentacles set into the arch above.

Upright

  • Craft
  • Collaboration
  • Apprenticeship

Traditionally the card of skill recognised and work done together — each of the three has something the others do not.

Reversed

  • Working alone
  • Unheard
  • Poor fit

Reversed, the collaboration fails: expertise ignored, plans that do not match the building, or working alone on something that needed more hands.

About this deck

The artwork is the Rider-Waite-Smith tarot, drawn by Pamela Colman Smith to Arthur Edward Waite's direction and first published in 1909. It has passed into the public domain, which is why it can be shown here in full — but it is her work, and the reason this deck became the one nearly every other deck answers to.
