General Meaning of the Three of Cups in a Reading
The Three is all Tarot Cards represent Fruition and Creation. Whatever decision was reached at the Two, is manifested in the Three. This is a generally positive card, whether you are doing a One Card Tarot Reading, 3 Card Online reading or an in-depth Celtic Cross Reading. The positive energy of this card is very much like the uplifting Angel Card Spreads we have come to know and love.
The Cups Suit in the Tarot is linked to relationships of all kinds. From friendships to romance as well as family. It talks about our emotions and feelings in these realms, and so the Three of Cups is all about the relationships in our lives that have come to fruition; relationships we can celebrate and take pleasure in. We can consult a Love Oracle Reading if we need to discern whether it is our close friendship staking center stage or a more romantic type of relationship. This is a time to spend with those we love and remind them of our appreciation and gratitude for their support.
This card may also mean a creative collaboration with two others. Perhaps you start a business, craft or paint together, and together, you are more creative than alone.
Symbolism of the Three of Cups
This card is a simply and easy one to read. There are three people together, lifting up large cups as if to say “cheers!”. They all seem to be women although one may be male (the red-cloaked figure). Surrounding them is a harvest of fruit and vegetables, and they wear garlands around their heads.
These folks are clearly friends, and they are having a very good time, celebrating their hard work and enjoying each other’s company. Their relationships with each other seem healthy and fun – this card is clearly about partying and having a good time!

Reversed Three of Cups
This card doesn’t mean anything terrible in the reverse – it simply means that now is perhaps not the time to be out and about or a social butterfly – perhaps now is the time to just be alone, and enjoy your own company. Don’t push for being out there, your time will come, so take this period to enjoy your own company.
You may want to re-look at your friend groups and spend time with just a few, close friends, and cut the ones out who may be toxic for you. It’s important to do the same with any habits of indulgence and cut back on drinking too much or indulging in any other unhealthy habits – similar when it comes to the Devil Card in the Tarot. Work on your creative side as you may feel a bit blocked.
