Three of Cups
UPRIGHT
Three women lift their cups in a dance, fruits and a pumpkin at their feet. The Three of Cups is the joy of community — the celebration shared, the friend group that holds, the small ritual of raising a glass with one's people. The card honors the gathering as its own reward.
REVERSED
Reversed, the Three of Cups is the gathering soured — gossip, exclusion, a friend group narrowing into something less generous than it used to be. The card can also name overindulgence, the celebration that has gone on past its proper end, or the loneliness of being the fourth at a table set for three.
