The 3 opens the dual perspective on the emergence of the third element arising from the union of the 2 that precedes it. The Three of Pentacles symbolizes collaboration aimed at the construction of a shared project. On the card, three pentacles are arranged in a triangle, with the base rising towards the apex. The gold coins now appear like the gears of a mechanism that the floral element either lubricates or hinders depending on the circumstances. Its winding path now seems to draw our attention to the top pentacle enveloped in a choral shape. The pentacles at the bottom form a base that the stem divides but whose red graft restores the connection. Thus, the Three of Pentacles already manifests the early signs of a promise indicated by the Two: the spiritualization of matter is its destined outcome. This new realization is highlighted by the three-ringed arch that encircles the pentacles into a stable and cohesive structure. At the center, a cross anchors a smaller heart within its universal trinity: the temporal and the spiritual unite at their intersection... at a point that embodies both origin and destination. Finally, to underscore a message that leaves little doubt, a mallet and chisel confirm the Masonic connection of the Three of Pentacles.
