Upright meaning
The Three of Cups is a card of friendship and celebration. It shows people coming together to share joy: a party, a reunion, a wedding, a festival or simply good friends supporting one another. Community and belonging are emphasised. Accept invitations, reach out to friends and celebrate your successes with others. Collaboration and teamwork also flourish now.
Reversed meaning
Reversed, the celebration may go too far, with overindulgence, gossip or a third person causing trouble. It can also show feeling left out of a group. Choose company that genuinely supports you.
Love and relationships
In love, happy times with friends, celebrations, and possibly meeting someone through your social circle. Beware of a third party interfering.
Work and career
At work, teamwork and celebration of a success. Networking and collaboration bring good results.
Money
With money, spending on social events and gifts. Enjoy, but avoid overspending in the spirit of the moment.
Advice
Celebrate with the people who lift you up.
