General Interpretation

3 of Cups

The 3 of Cups is almost exclusively about reunions of one sort or another. This could be family, friends, past lovers, even your high school teacher!

It is in general a positive card and even when the reunion in question might at first sight seem unwanted the fact of the matter is that you will find that it was a positive experience when you look back on it.

Friends and Family

It doesn’t really matter whether it is friends or family when this card appears and most times you will know which is indicated from the reading you are doing.

That may not always be the case however. If you are doing a general reading and it appears then it will almost certainly mean that someone from your past (and it could be almost anyone) is going to come back into your life.

Love and Relationships

If you are already in a relationship the 3 of cups indicates a need to get things back on course. It’s not so much that you have gone dreadfully wrong but simply that things could be better than they are. The way to achieve this is for you and your partner to revisit exactly what it is that you both want for the relationship and then to make it happen.

For those of you who are looking for love this card can indicate a need to go back to your roots. That may be visiting a town you grew up in or contacting friends that you have not spoken to in years or something of that nature. Revisit the people and the places from your past.

Spiritual Growth

It could be that you have reached something of an impasse spiritually when this card appears. In this context too it is about getting in touch with your past but instead of revisiting people and places you once knew it is about revisiting a part of you from an earlier age.

You need to rediscover the joys and wonder of childhood and bring that rediscovery back to the present. You will find that you will look at things very differently and the impasse will disappear.

Work and Career

The day to day routine and its sheer mundanity is likely to be getting you down when this card appears. It indicates a need for you to think outside the box and do whatever you can to help regain some semblance of sanity. It’s only temporary but trying to look at things from a different perspective may well benefit you.

For those of you seeing employment this is a clear signal to get in touch with people from your past and to put out feelers to them as regards job opportunities.

Message from Spirit

Look back to the people and places that you loved in the past and consider revisiting them. Even if you can only revisit them mentally you should do so.
