Rosy sun shines upon the plains, changing their colors to vivid and bright.
Is it right?
Am I dreaming?
The colors.
Surreal.
Lively.
Untamed.
Yet, it is true: the dawn, the colors, and the majestic oak tree,
Under which ideas were born, plans made, traditions broken.
You see it all.
You know it won't last.
Still, you shine upon us. You show us the way.
You let us break, break through, and break out.
You graciously allow us to live.
The stream connecting the oak tree, the plains, you, and us.
Soars through the universe as we build, build, build.
Three of Wands by Astore Faber is vivid and energetic. The three thick branches, firmly joined together, float above peach-colored sands and appear as a vehicle of stability. This suggests that intentions, the essence of a goal, and the mental stamina to achieve it are steady and strong. Yet, there’s an emotional tension in the air, as if something is about to change.
Generally, the card symbolizes positive experiences and accomplishments. But it also reminds us of the impermanence of life's conditions and circumstances. The sand beneath the branches is both the carrier of the past and the symbol of life's transience. In Astore Faber's mythology, the color of the sand is one of the healing colors. It indicates that being mindful of the fleetingness of our existence can help us heal.
The sun in the card is bright pink - the power of memories, nostalgia, old dreams, and hopes. At its center, a blue eye represents insightful revelations drawn from the past and carried into the future. The wands themselves echo these meanings, adding a social dimension (orange) and creative, even fantastical ideas that frame and even solidify the effort towards achieving a goal.
The "wavy" skies symbolize an occasionally turbulent emotional atmosphere in which the action takes place. The sky’s airy streams contain purple for universal wisdom, orange for desire to be part of a community, blue for knowledge and intuition, warm green for connection to the physical world, and yellow for creativity and imagination. All these moods, energies, emotions, and associated thoughts can either help (if balanced and acknowledged) or impede progress (if rejected or denied).
The meaning of the card is this: mindfulness of all can lead to focus and assist in determination.

We all possess the answers we seek — even if we’re tired of hearing that phrase, it remains true. Those answers may be tiny flickers in the dark or bright as the sun. Sometimes, to understand the nudges and clues of our subconscious mind, intuition, the Universe, god, or the spirit world (whatever you prefer), we need a tool. Tarot — in this case, Tarot of the Fool by Astore Faber — can become that tool. It can help us awaken, clarify, or interpret those answers.
Still, tarot is just a tool — a way of playing with symbols and letting the mind speak in its own language. It’s not meant to replace professional guidance, medical or otherwise. If something in your life needs real‑world attention, please turn to someone qualified to help. The cards can offer insight, but the choices — and the responsibility — remain yours.
