The Three of Clubs Card

The Suit of Clubs is associated with primal energy, spirituality, inspiration, determination, strength, intuition, creativity, ambition and expansion, original thought and the seeds through which life springs forth. Clubs deal with the spiritual level of consciousness and mirror what is important to you at the core of your being. Clubs are also indicative of all things that you do during the day to keep you busy, be it working at the office, home or the great outdoors. Clubs have to do with movement, action and initiatives and the launching of new ideas. They may be indicative of a never-ending ‘Ideas List’ or ‘To Do List’, whereby the client has many projects on the go to keep them busy. The negative aspects of the Suit of Clubs include illusion, egotistical behavior, impulsiveness, a lack of direction or purpose, or feeling meaningless.

Timing: When looking for time sensitive answers, Clubs generally means very fast – a matter of hours to days.

By nature the threes deal with creativity and growth. Like all Cartomancy cards, this can go in different directions. Take the celebratory three of Hearts, for example, and contrast it with the dire and dramatic three of Spades; some combinations are more constructive than others. Threes also indicate a turning point, moments that unfold after the director calls ‘action!’ They’re active and dynamic unlike the more stationary twos. Because of this threes show times when change is afoot and the querent can harness the energy presented to them as they see fit. The threes, a number that’s all about creation: the act of making something from the union of two. The most obvious and oft-cited metaphor for this is birth – a child created from two partners.
