Collaboration

From the Spacious Tarot, the Three of Pentacles; from the Phenomena Oracle, Tsunami:

When you need to innovate, you need collaboration.

~Marissa Mayer

This Three of Pentacles is based on Pando, a colony of aspen trees which are actually one living organism, all sharing the same root system. Working with others helps us see from other perspectives - one idea can be visualized from different viewpoints, creating multiple options. Big egos have a hard time collaborating; they easily forget what is most important, the cause everyone is working towards. Yet teams who remember their common goal, groups composed of people who don't try to outshine their partners, can accomplish what seemed impossible alone. Tsunami indicates a situation that feels overwhelming and catastrophic. Here is where the individual gifts of team members can be beneficial, with each person applying their specific abilities to right their ship.
