Okay, so yesterday I decided to do a little tarot reading on a friend’s love life. She’s been stressing about things going stagnant with her partner, and I thought, “Why not?”. I’ve been dabbling in tarot for a while now, just for fun, and I find it can sometimes offer some interesting perspectives, even if you don’t fully believe in it.
So, I cleared my space, lit a candle (because, ambiance!), and shuffled my deck. I focused on my friend and her relationship, asking the cards for insight into the potential outcome of their current situation. Then, I drew the Three of Pentacles.
Now, I’m no tarot expert, I just use a Guide Book, but I remember this card being pretty positive. I checked my little guidebook, and sure enough, it was all about teamwork and building something together.

I recall reading the card and thinking about the following
- Teamwork Makes the Dream Work: Seeing it as a sign that they needed to work together to overcome their challenges. Less “you vs. me” and more “us vs. the problem.”
- Building a Foundation: I considered that maybe they’d been neglecting the fundamentals of their relationship. Like, date nights, open communication, just basic appreciation for each other.
- Putting in the Effort: Relationships aren’t always sunshine and rainbows. I realized This card suggested that putting in the work, actively doing things to improve the relationship, would be key.
So, I relayed all this to my friend. I told her, “Look, I’m not saying this is magic, but the cards are pointing towards a positive outcome if you both are willing to put in the effort. Treat it like a project you’re both invested in.”
She seemed pretty receptive. I’m not sure if she’s a big believer in tarot, but I think the message resonated with her. It’s pretty solid advice regardless of the cards, right? Focus on collaboration, communication, and shared effort. We’ll see what happens, but I’m hoping the Three of Pentacles was a good sign for her and her partner.
