Three of Wands

[Clio_86]

I'm always a bit confused about the difference between the Two of Wands and the Three of Wands.

I've always done two card monthly predictions for each year and have pulled the Two of Wands many times. For me, it always means planning to go abroad. For example, in August 2023, I had the Two of Wands and the Empress. I was planning a trip for the following month to England to present at a conference. I was awarded a conference grant to go. Then in November 2022, I had the Four of Swords and the Two of Wands. That month, I was sick and spent most of my time at home packing and preparing my flat to move abroad back to my parents.

I can't remember ever pulling the Three of Wands. I have it for one of my months this year, but am not sure how to differentiate it from the Two of Wands.

Thanks for any feedback!
