Three of Cups

Three of Cups description

Raise your glasses for a toast! The three of cups is a dance party. Three beautiful women dance around a bountiful garden with golden goblets. The gold represents understanding and insight. The fruit and vegetable harvest brings abundance and achievement from having attended to your work. The grapes on the vine indicate a certain level of intoxication and truth telling. Some say that three women are the maiden, the mother, and the crone. They share rhythms and secrets.

Upright meaning

An upright Three of Cups marks a joyous occasion. You are celebrating the fullness of life’s pleasures and opening to life’s mystical celebrations and rituals. Acts of passion may lead to the conception of a child or addition of a family member. This card can mean it’s time for a girl’s night out. Create happy experiences for yourself and invite others to partake. Whether male or female, this card indicates that you need to connect with the feminine quality within yourself, and it will serve you well.

Reversed meaning

Reversed, the Three of Cups can be a sign that you are partying or socializing as a way to avoid your own thoughts and emotions. On the flip side, maybe you prefer to spend time alone right now. Your social groups may be shifting, perhaps you have less in common with a certain group of people than you thought. This card can also be a sign that your creativity is being stifled. Take the time you need to party, or to recharge in your own way. But be mindful of whether your actions are sustainable and find a healthy balance. In relationships, this card means that there is a third party involved in the relationship.
