Three of Cups
Today you may feel like taking a break from the monotony of your daily routine and getting together with friends and loved ones.
The Three of Cups represents people gathering together to connect, interact and celebrate. It’s a happy, joyful energy that can manifest as a party or celebration, or it could be as simple as a girls night out.
Either way it’s a time of merriment and gaiety. Hanging out with like-minded people and expressing feelings of affection and good-will. There’s no room for fretting about work, and none of this sitting around ironing out political or ideological differences.
This rendition is a re-colored and “illuminated” Rider-Waite version with the traditional three young women dancing and raising their cups in celebration. Notice though how the women and their robes have been altered to highlight the differences in culture and ethnicity. This is an important feature of the Three of Cups — there’s a general sense of communion and camaraderie that knows no pettiness, no jealousy and no social bounds.
Today’s Mercury / Jupiter sextile ties in perfectly with this card. Not only does it speak of interacting comfortably with others, but it encourages you to expand your social horizons and let those you have no direct understanding of or history with into your inner circle.
In terms of romance the Three of Cups can refer to reconnecting with an old flame or reuniting with an ex. It can also manifest as a natural progression from the Ace of Cups (an attraction) and the Two of Cups (a mutual attraction) to the Three of Cups (taking that attraction to the next level).
Whether you’re celebrating your own good fortune or raising your glass to toast another’s, the Three of Cups serves as a reminder that there’s always something to be grateful for, and always someone to share your gratitude with.
Today’s tarotscope — Three of Cups — comes from the Illuminated Tarot series which was self-published by Carol Herzer. Used by generous permission. There are several versions of these recolored Rider-Waite decks, each more beautiful than the last. This card is from her original version. You can read more about the genesis of Carol’s foray into hand-painting and re-colorizing these decks on her site, Soul-Guidance.com. They are also available for purchase directly from Carol. Email her first for details. Please also check out the Soul-Guidance YouTube channel. Thank you Carol!
