"Expansion isn't the question. What you do next is."
Six quick picks first, then your reading
A calm, stately personage, with his back turned, looking from a cliff's edge at ships passing over the sea. Three staves are planted in the ground, and he leans slightly on one of them. Wands represent passion and three represents community. Together this card represents building a community of supporters and finding people who share your passions.
You started a new hobby or new business recently and you are growing a community around that. You are building something with others and sharing the load. Triangles are strong structural supports and you building out foundational friendships and relationships that will serve you for a long time and bear the load of your future goals.
You are having trouble connecting with people-- perhaps you are being rigid in your beliefs and vision for the future. Community involves some sacrifice for the shared dream. Perhaps you are just simply not with the people you need to be with. Don't bend when it comes to your true morals and values, but don't let your passions prevent you from connecting with your loved ones. Find common ground and mutual respect.

Three of Wands for Leo in Work and Career
The Creator
Wands are the fire suit, so the Three of Wands sits in Leo. That makes this Leo's own card, so nothing in it is being read from the outside, and the flattering interpretation is the one to distrust. What it asks for is the thing Leo already believes it is good at: spend the energy on one thing today. Upright, it has become visible to other people, which is the part that makes it real.
When reading about work through a Leo lens, the Three of Wands says that you feel like work is the place you prove something, something you want to be visibly excellent at (or lead from), and a stage where your effort has an audience. This has either led to genuine excellence backed by real skill, or to chasing the role that looks like the thing instead of doing the thing itself. You have not asked yourself what you actually want from this work, only what you think you should want from it. The Leo blind spot in it is being ordinary, being forgotten, being the one no one thought to invite, being seen doing something mediocre.
In practice that can look like energy coming back for something. Whatever form it takes, it is about to become visible to other people.
