Three of Cups

For some, this card reflects a windfall from the work done on a creative project. More important than the money received is the satisfaction felt in your heart. Your work has made a positive impact on humanity, and that’s why you’ve been rewarded. For love readings, you can almost hear the “hallelujah” chorus when you pull the Three of Cups. Related to another card of the major arcana called the Empress that represents creation and fertility, this card appears when you’ve created your own luck in love. In tarot tradition, when the Three of Cups appears, there’s a cause of celebration. Joy, wealth, and peace are yours, reflecting great abundance and happiness. This is a feeling that will flourish in you and those close to you for quite a while.

Three of Cups Reversed

This is a card that appears for groups of people who rely too much on external things like drugs or alcohol to get along well. A sense of self-pity is indicated when one draws the Three of Cups reversed. Whether a happy gathering went awry or a relationship has gone poisonous, there’s some tension and self-blaming. You feel empty though you had just felt the high of happy times. Even when reversed, this card appears for people who value their connections and find it important to be open and honest. Because of this, you find you’re the only one trying to take responsibility for what went wrong.
