Card 38 • cups

Three of Cups

Brief Description

This card signals a joyful gathering and communal celebration among friends, often simply for the pleasure of companionship. It can mark achievements, reunions, or emotional breakthroughs shared with loved ones. At the same time it asks whether the festivity might be serving as a distraction from an uncomfortable truth or unresolved conversation. Finally, it prompts practical reflection about responsibility and who will handle the aftermath when the celebration ends.

THREE OF CUPS

Meaning

It's time for your friends to get together, raise a glass, and have a celebration. The reason? Just being friends is surely enough, but maybe you've accomplished something, or one of your friends has had an emotional breakthrough, or perhaps you haven't seen each other in a long time? However, is this party a way to distract yourself from some dark truth you don't want to confront? A conversation you don't want to have? And who will be there to clean up when the party's over?

Visual Description

A cluttered, messy living room strewn with bottles, glasses, cans, and a slice of pizza. A person in a white T-shirt, jeans and flip-flops stands in the center holding a large framed picture in front of their face; within that frame three women laugh and raise cups under balloons and confetti. The person holds a broom and appears to be cleaning amid the debris while furniture and a lamp crowd the background. At the bottom of the card the caption reads 'THREE of CUPS.'
