The Three of Wands as How Someone Sees You: Someone They Are Waiting to Hear From

Written by Chaya the Medium.

The Three of Wands as how someone sees you means you are on the horizon. Here is what the picture includes, upright and reversed.

If you want the short answer, the Three of Wands as how someone sees you means they see you as where their effort is headed: someone they have reached toward and are now watching for a response from. It is an expectant picture. They have sent their ships, and you are the horizon.

This is you as the far shore the figure on the cliff is looking at. They see you as the return. They are waiting.

The Three of Wands upright as how someone sees you

Tina Gong's the Three of Wands guide at Labyrinthos associates the upright card with expansion, foresight, overseas opportunities and long-range plans. 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 Wands as feelings covers what they feel; the Three of Wands 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 Wands as a person who sees you as a future worth investing in: they have done something toward you and they see you as the place the result will come from. The picture is hopeful and patient.

What I would not read into it is certainty. The Three of Wands sees the ships at sea. It does not see them land.

What the card does not tell you

The card does not confirm what the person sent, that it reached you, or that they will wait indefinitely. 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 Wands reversed as how someone sees you

Reversed, the Three of Wands as how someone sees you means the picture has gone from hopeful to doubtful: they see you as someone who has not answered, or a horizon that keeps receding.

In your own question, ask whether the person has been waiting on something from you that you have not given. 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 Wands as how an ex sees you

Asked how an ex sees you, the Three of Wands suggests they have sent something your way, a signal or a message, and see you as the place a reply would come from. Check your own horizon. 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 Wands as how a new person sees you

For someone new, this card means they have made an effort and see you as worth waiting for. If you have been slow, they noticed.

How to check the picture against reality

Look for an effort followed by a pause. A Three of Wands picture is visible as waiting after an offer, and the wait is for you.

What to record before drawing again

Keep three short notes: the question you asked, what the person has sent toward you, and what you have sent back.

For comparison, the Two of Wands as how someone sees you and the Eight of Wands as how someone sees you describe different pictures. The the Three of Wands card meaning page covers the card in full, and the Three of Wands as a yes or no and the Three of Wands 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.
