Many threes in a reading...

What would be the significance of 5 3s in a reading ie Empress and all four 3 cards - 3 of Swords/3 of Cups/3 of Pents/3 of Wands?
 

Adjustment

in the positive side, development growth, expansion, pregnancy, improvement, on the negative side could be indulgence, extravagance, being too scattered, stress.

When I first read this I thought of pregnancy.
Somewhere on AT there is somthing about this...I've
read it somewhere...
when the same number of minors are in a spread, it makes
the major stronger.
With your example that would make the Empress in front
of the whole reading!

Yes the Empress was the last card in the Overall position.

One more idea...
Take the four 3's out of the deck and the Empress.
Shuffle the remaining cards and ask questions.

Show me what I need to know about these number 3's.
Why do I need to know about this number 3?
How do these cards fit into my life at this time?

Good luck!

Also, were there any other so-called "shadow cards" in the reading? XII Hanged Man or XXI The World?

Have you thought of the significance numerology wise? For personally though 3 is an infinity, birth/death/rebirth or even the triple goddess.
