Three of Cups
Keywords: friendship, celebration, community, shared joy
Three figures dance in a circle and raise their cups in a toast, surrounded by fruit and harvest squash. It’s the party of friendship. The Three of Cups announces happy gatherings, celebrations, reunions and support among friends. It could be a wedding, a birthday or simply a night of laughter. It reminds you that joys multiply when they’re shared. Accept the invitations, surround yourself with your people and celebrate the good without waiting for the perfect moment.
Reversed
Reversed, the Three of Cups can point to overdoing the partying, gossip in the group or the feeling of being left out. It can also show that you’re isolating yourself from friends because of tiredness or sadness. Reach out to just one person you trust and plan something simple. Sometimes a coffee is worth more than a big party.
Love
In love it brings fun, group dates and relationships that grow out of friendships. If you have a partner, spend time with mutual friends. Make sure no third party muddies things, and be clear about what you feel from the start.
Work
At work it celebrates team achievements, a good atmosphere and creative collaborations. It’s a good time to network at social events. Recognizing your colleagues’ effort strengthens the trust and motivation of the whole group.
