Three of Pentacles
The Card
A stonemason works on a cathedral archway. Above him, three pentacles are carved into the stone. An architect and a robed monk hold plans and consult with him. All three are needed. The work is good.
Symbolism
The cathedral is work built to last — not a temporary shelter. Three figures, three pentacles, three disciplines: craft, design, and spirit. The monk reminds us that skilled work has sacred dimensions.
Skilled collaboration. A craftsman works on a cathedral while an architect and a monk consult over plans. Each role is valued. Craft, expertise, and the wisdom to know what you don't know — these are what create lasting work.
Poor teamwork, lack of coordination, undervalued skills, mediocre work.
