Three of Pentacles, reversed

The Three of Pentacles is a card I like to commonly refer to as 'the consulting card'.  In the image we see three people, a master craftsman standing on a bench and two others holding a plan.

There are several ways which I've typically read this card in the past.  The first way is the master craftsman is saying, 'yes, the plan has this outlined however have you consider this other idea?'  The second is the master craftsman is telling the two, 'your plans have this here however I'm seeing structure issues and doing following the plan could have these ramifications.'  Finally, the two people come to the master craftsman and basically say, 'dude, you've gone off the reservation and deviated from the plan.'.

Another way to read this card is that there is general, engaged conversation - it's civil, everyone is calm and having a productive meeting.

In my opinion, the two people, male and female represent not only a literal man and woman but a single balanced energy - so in other words, when there is a need to have a conversation at a serious level, there needs to be an emotional balance and have facts in order when approaching the male energy, which is the craftsman in this case.

I also find the passageways in this card interesting as it is unknown if the pillar dividing the two entries lead to a single, larger area or if they are two smaller independent areas.  So one way of reading this would be, if it's interpreted that there are two opening to a larger area is the two parties are not far apart in their agreement.  Or depending on the question it could also be said that the two parties are far apart or are not even on the same page.

In the reverse position I would read this is both parties are in disagreement over the plan of action, the plan could be faulty, or there is no leader or direction.
