What Three of Coins is about
The Three of Coins is card 75. Its title printed on the card is 'Le Noble', the noble. The keywords are merit, nobility of character and the child. The child comes from the other side of the card in Etteilla's tradition. So this card is about earning respect through good character, and about the next generation. Nobility here isn't about titles. It's about how you behave.
In everyday life
The Three of Coins invites you to act with dignity and integrity. Earn respect through what you do, not who you are. It's also about the children in your life, and the example you set for them. Kids notice how adults treat people, and that's a kind of nobility worth passing on. Even if you don't have children, the way you treat others shapes the world around you. Merit is also about recognising good character in others. When you notice someone being honest, kind or brave, it's worth saying so. Praise for character, not just achievement, tends to mean a lot to people. It tells them that who they are matters, not just what they do. And it encourages more of the same.
75. Three of Coins Say you've been tempted to gossip about a colleague. Choosing not to, even when others do, is a small act of noble character.
75. Three of Coins Or you've got a niece or nephew who looks up to you. Spending time with them and showing kindness and patience sets a lovely example.
