Three of Cups
Meanings
A time to rejoice. Celebration of success, a recovery from illness or misfortune. Fellowship, a supportive network of peers. Collaboration toward a common goal without the need for leadership.
Reversed
Friendships fractured. Rivalry, jealousy, petty fights. Dissatisfaction with one’s circle of friends and family, a need to assert independence.
Description
Three young women wearing sumptuous clothing each
hold a golden cup. They are surrounded by cascading
silk curtains, as though they've retired to a boudoir
for a quiet drink at a party.
