Description
In the Mission Impossible series, a crack team of specialists is given a dangerous assignment. They have to strategize, coordinate resources, and draw on skill and ingenuity to complete the mission. This is the Three of Pentacles in action: teamwork, planning, and competence. The Three of Pentacles is one of the cards in the tarot that focuses on the group. (The Three of Cups and the Hierophant are the others.)
Pentacles are grounded and practical; this card represents a task-oriented team—people who are working cooperatively toward a common goal. There are few jobs that can be accomplished alone. Sometimes the Three of Pentacles is a sign that you will be more productive if you work with others. You don't have to do it all by yourself.
This card can also show a need for planning and preparation. Now is not the time to rush into something or begin a project with only a vague idea of what it's about. You need to think everything through, go over all the possibilities, and make sure you work out the details.
The Three of Pentacles also represents competence—the ability to get the job done. This card tells you that you have the skills and knowledge you need. You can attract capable people and create a successful environment. Know that the situation is (or will be) in good hands, but be sure to concentrate on excellence in your work.
