The Three of Pentacles as How Someone Sees You: Skilled, and Good to Work With

Written by Chaya the Medium.

The Three of Pentacles as how someone sees you means they see the mason at work. Here is what the picture includes, upright and reversed.

If you want the short answer, the Three of Pentacles as how someone sees you means they see you as skilled and collaborative: someone they respect, someone good to build things with. It is a picture of regard. Whether it includes romance is the open question.

This is you as the mason on the bench with the plans held up. They see the craft. They see a partner in work.

The Three of Pentacles upright as how someone sees you

Tina Gong's the Three of Pentacles guide at Labyrinthos associates the upright card with teamwork, collaboration, skill recognised and building in stages. When the card lands in a position that asks how someone sees you, I read those meanings as the image the person holds of you, which is not the same as who you are and not the same as what they feel. the Three of Pentacles as feelings covers what they feel; the Three of Pentacles as intentions covers what they plan. This page covers the picture. The general card meanings at Biddy Tarot are a useful second reference.

Upright, I read the Three of Pentacles as a person who respects your competence and enjoys working alongside you.

What I would not read into it is passion. Respect is a foundation, not the house.

What the card does not tell you

The card does not confirm attraction, only regard. No card lets a reader see inside another person's head. What a card can do is describe the kind of image that fits the person's behaviour toward you, and give you something to check against how they actually treat you.

The Three of Pentacles reversed as how someone sees you

Reversed, the Three of Pentacles as how someone sees you means they see you as hard to work with, or undervalue what you bring.

In your own question, ask whether the person dismisses your contributions. A reversed card here is a prompt to notice whether the picture the person holds has gone sour or gone wrong, not a verdict on you.

The Three of Pentacles as how an ex sees you

Asked how an ex sees you, the Three of Pentacles suggests they respect you and could work with you, which often settles into friendship. My guide to asking a psychic whether an ex will come back explains what a reading can and cannot say about that question.

The Three of Pentacles as how a new person sees you

For someone new, this card means they respect you first. Respect is a good place for more to grow.

How to check the picture against reality

Look at whether the person asks for your opinion and builds on it.

What to record before drawing again

Keep three short notes: the question you asked, what the person respects in you, and whether there is warmth alongside it.

For comparison, the Eight of Pentacles as how someone sees you and the Knight of Pentacles as how someone sees you describe different pictures. The the Three of Pentacles card meaning page covers the card in full, and the Three of Pentacles as a yes or no and the Three of Pentacles as timing cover the other questions people most often ask of it. For a personal interpretation, my guide to a love psychic reading online explains how I work, and the three-card tarot listing and customer reviews are worth reading before deciding whether to order.
