Three of Cups
The Three of Cups celebrates friendship, sisterhood, and communal joy, depicted as maidens lifting cups together in a moonlit, Slavic-tinged scene. Upright, it heralds reunions, milestones, creative collaboration, and the supportive witness of people who truly know you, encouraging you to host, invite, or rejoin the dance. Reversed, it warns of cliques, gossip, third-party entanglements, overindulgence, exclusion, and plans that no longer nourish you. The card advises stepping back to rehydrate your heart, repairing worthy friendships or releasing toxic gatherings, and honoring both joy and boundaries so the cups refill and the circle becomes sacred again.

Three of Cups
Visual Description
Three maidens in white dresses and flower crowns stand together in a moonlit forest pond. They lift three ornate golden cups high, their long hair flowing down their backs. Lily pads float around them, and a wreath decorated with roses and lit candles drifts on the water. Twining branches and ferns arch overhead against a starry night sky.
Meaning
Holding cups aloft like a shared toast, the Three of Cups gathers you into a circle of camaraderie and celebration. In this Slavic-tinged scene reminiscent of Ivana Kupala festivities, friendship, sisterhood, and community weave blessings as naturally as garlands on the water. Upright, the card heralds reunions, milestones, creative collaboration, and the joy of being witnessed by people who truly know you. What you make together sings louder than any solo, and mutual support helps love, art, and plans take root. It encourages hosting the gathering, sending the invitation, or returning to the dance where your spirits match. Yet the same feast can sour when reversed: cliques, gossip, third-party entanglements, or overindulgence drain the well. You may feel left out, plans may be canceled, or the party scene may no longer nourish you. Step back, rehydrate your heart, and choose companions who celebrate you without strings. Repair a friendship if it is worthy; release the table where you are only served drama. When you honor both joy and boundaries, the cups refill and the circle becomes sacred again.
