Three of Cups Tarot Card Description

The suite of cups considers how we feel. In the case of the Three of Cups we have moved away from cozy coupledom, which is represented by the Two of Cups and are considering how we feel about society, chums, work colleagues and neighbours. In tarot related matters, the number three relates to communication and creative output - the very act of trying to reach out to other folks.

Upright Meaning

The Three of Cups is a social card, taking us away from our immediate family and partner and into the wider world. In business matters, the Three of Cups encourages entrepreneurs to explore new markets, take on new staff, make connections and, if they are feeling particularly brave, engage in a little philanthropy. If you are seeking work or a change of career, networking can be a useful way to move forward; opportunities may even be made known to you via a friend. Socially, this is the ideal time to meet up with pals old and new. Don’t forget websites and the telephone can also keep you in touch with friends and family far away too. The Three of Cups urges you to accept any invitations that come your way. Obviously you can expect to have a good time, but you may benefit in other ways as well. The Three of Cups asks you to go out into the world and enjoy yourself, particularly in the company of others. This could mean hosting a party, joining a society or taking an evening class - anything creative is particularly likely to give you great satisfaction at this time. In matters of personal development, the Three of Cups requests you to explore how you relate to group situations; are you a shrinking violet or a shrieking diva, and do you need to consider why you might act this way? If something has been worrying you, draw on support from friends and others in your circle, they could prove to be a Godsend. Perhaps a more general issue has got your goat. If you really want things to change, joining or even forming your own pressure group, could get results as well as cementing friendships.

Reversed Meaning

Are you a wincey bit too much of a party animal, or do you spend so much time in the company of others that you’ve neglected some of the more mundane aspects of life - such as earning enough dosh to pay the gas bill? The reversed Three of Cups suggests you need to make more time to be alone, so a little introspection could be in order. The Three of Cups also encourages you not to lose sight of the needs and feelings of others as you indulge in a hedonistic haze.

Three of Cups Love Tarot Card Description

Upright Meaning

A celebration is on the way. As we are concentrating on the love tarot this could be a wedding, a birth or engagement, on the other hand it could be that you and your partner are celebrating a promotion or academic achievement. If you and THEM have been stuck in a rut this will change and all will be smiles again. There is also a likelihood of meeting likeminded souls at a social gathering, and this could prove fertile ground for singles looking for a soulmate.

Couples will discover that their relationship becomes even more profound and intimate.

Single or spliced, this is a fortunate time as problems melt away and the good times roll.

Reversed Meaning

The course of true love may not always run smooth but it shouldn't be a battle. Unless you actually enjoy living on an emotional roller-coaster you need to calm down and take a step back.

You and your beau may love to party, but do you actually love each other? Do you have what it takes to stay together through the rough times as well as the good? One of you could be set to wander, is this romance all you think it is?

This card can also suggest your relationship has moved on and you have finally taken off your rose coloured glasses. This may bring with it the odd issue, but that is just reality calling.
