Three of Pentacles as How Someone Sees You (Upright & Reversed) Tarot Card Meaning

The Three of Pentacles is the card of teamwork, collaboration, and working towards shared goals. This card shows a young apprentice working on the construction of a cathedral. He is discussing his work with two others, a priest and a nobleman. They are all working together to achieve their mutual goal of building the cathedral. 

The Three of Pentacles reminds us of that quote, “If you want to go fast, go alone, but if you want to go far, go together.” It takes more than just ourselves to build something great. This is true in relationships as well, because it takes two to tango.

They believe the marriage would be both loving and successful. They know the marriage will not fail because of how you work toward the same shared goals, and this is all they ask for in a marriage.

Reversed Three of Pentacles as How Someone Sees You

If you are asking about how someone sees you, and you draw the Three of Pentacles reversed, that means this person sees you as someone that is difficult to collaborate with. The relationship does not lack communication, but the communication is usually irrelevant. You are not able to directly and honestly communicate with each other and become closer through it. There are elements of superficiality.

The Three of Pentacles reversed means that they may also see you as someone that takes them for granted. They may see that you do not return the same amount of work they put into the relationship. You have trouble working as a team. They see you as someone that operates better as an individual rather than the joint relationship that is supposed to be. Assure them that you are in this together. 

For singles and those embarking on new relationships, the Three of Pentacles reversed is a sign that they see you as a talker rather than an actor. You get along well and can talk all day about your lives together, but action is missing to start the relationship. The longer you go without acting, the deeper friends you become which translates to a lower chance of becoming romantic. Act fast, but not too fast, in order to show your romantic interest that is missing from the two of you before it is too late.

For existing relationships, the Three of Pentacles reversed means that they see you as putting in less effort than they are. They believe in their heart that they make the relationship work single-handedly, and it weighs heavy on their conscience. It creates a significant amount of stress for them. The relationship is not a team, but rather a solo project for each of you. You need to be on the same page in terms of your goals and feelings in order for the relationship to last and grow stronger.

If you are asking about an ex’s intentions, the Three of Pentacles reversed shows that they see you as someone they would rather not go back to. This is because you did not synergize well in the relationship. It was always one person was right and the other was wrong without creating common ground. This left both parties feeling alienated. They do not want to go back to this unless something fundamental to the relationship changes. If you really want this person back, there is still a chance but things must change.

In the context of whether or not a relationship is headed for commitment, engagement, or marriage, the Three of Pentacles reversed means that they see you as someone they are not ready to marry. Some gaps in the team aspect of the relationship must be closed before a healthy marriage can bloom. They are not completely adverse to marriage, but they do not see it as the right time to do so. Give the relationship some time and be honest with your partner about your goals, because the Three of Pentacles is all about sharing goals and pursuing them together with someone.

Conclusion

For relationships and feelings, the Three of Pentacles represents hard work and collaboration. A relationship cannot be held up by one person. The two of you have to work well together as a team. Together, you can achieve anything, as long as you both have your eyes on the same goal and both put in the effort to achieve it.
