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

On the card

A figure stands with their back to us on a cliff, three wands planted around them, watching ships on a golden sea.

Upright

  • Expansion
  • Waiting
  • Foresight

The ships are already out — traditionally the card of something set in motion and now in the hands of time. It asks what you are waiting on well.

Reversed

  • Held up
  • Narrow view
  • Impatience

Reversed, the waiting frays: delay taken personally, or a horizon drawn too close to include what is actually coming.

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.
