Questions from visitors and answers from experts:
But we must not forget that everything has its own measure. An eternal holiday cannot continue forever. The fun and revelry must end. But it’s better to hide the holiday of the soul within yourself and show it only to close people in order to avoid the fading of the source of energy.
Thanks to the holiday of the soul, a greater amount of energy accumulates in a person, so that the whirlwind does not rage, it needs to be directed in the right direction, to do useful and pleasant things. Feelings need to be slightly controlled and their direction tracked with the help of thoughts.
Due to the large accumulation of emotions, as well as their rapid and chaotic changes, instability in the soul and disruption of harmony can occur. All this will be expressed in internal dissatisfaction. Condition: everything seems to be there, but something is missing or, as they say, “it’s going crazy.”
To correct the situation, you need to turn deep into yourself to your subconscious, it will give answers to all questions. You need to find life guidelines within yourself in order to understand the present and move on to the implementation of ideas that have not yet been realized. A person with the Three of Cups has very well developed intuition and the emotional spectrum of the subconscious, which allows him to read the “signs of fate” and see his guiding star.

Reversed Three of Cups
With the Three of Cups reversed, you may find yourself with less time for friends and fun than usual, most likely due to other commitments.Life is gaining momentum, you simply have no time to hang out.
As a result, it can give a bittersweet feeling of nostalgia, regret for a loss or for faded friendships and good old days.
However, you may become too caught up in these experiences and eventually become tired of riding the same emotional tracks.
Perhaps you were disappointed by your friends and loved ones, or your usual pleasures suddenly seemed empty and giving nothing.
This card may indicate gluttony and drunkenness, as well as various additive disorders.
A dance can turn into a drunken brawl, or you can be disturbed by a playful mood where there should be serious work.
Support mechanisms may become blocked.

If you want to successfully complete a particular project, the card indicates possible obstacles or lack of cooperation.
This may include exclusion from the fraternity or inner circle, ostracism and a feeling of loneliness and abandonment.
In one Tarot tradition, this is a theft committed by someone you know.
Instead of friends celebrating your victories, you may suddenly find yourself surrounded by those who are jealous of them, or who have completely different goals and values.
When projecting this card onto other people, they will seem to you like stupid dragonflies, carelessly frolicking while the sensible ants are preparing for winter.
In terms of health, it's self-indulgence, but also accidents and falls.

These are offerings to the “little people” and elemental spirits, helping to maintain good relations with the forces of nature.
It is also a lifting and pumping up of energy for magical work.

TROIKA OF CUPS The Three of Cups expresses joy, carefree and gratitude - feelings that are so clearly manifested in people, for example, at the traditional Harvest Festival.
It shows that something important and beautiful has come into our lives, or that we have received a gift (from a person or from fate itself) that has filled us with joy, happiness and gratitude.
On a deeper level, the card can mean optimism and a feeling of completeness of being; on an external (event) level, it can mean a holiday, a feast.

< >Abundance Second decade of Cancer from July 2 to July 11.
Astrological equivalents: Neptune in the Seventh House.
The second decade of Cancer, ruled by Mercury, carries the idea of understanding the processes of life creation and the conscious inclusion of feelings in these processes: switching from the inner world to the outer world and, conversely, from external impressions to the wealth of one’s soul.
It symbolizes abundance and prosperity.
On the Tarot card, among flowers and fruits, three beautiful girls raised CUPS, revealing the feminine trinity of the female incarnation.
But in the situation described by this card, it is recommended to adhere to the status quo so that the holiday of the soul that life gives us does not turn into a violent bacchanalia.
Feeling must follow thought, which helps to establish a correspondence between deeply hidden processes - changeable and elusive sensations - and the external world to which they are seemingly alien.
Emotional instability, rapid changes of feelings and thoughts are psychologically reflected in internal dissatisfaction.
But it forces us to turn to memory in order to find life guidelines and understanding of the present in repetitions of the past.
Three is a number associated with the ideal, with the desire to realize what is desired.
It signifies strong emotions and also develops intuition (which is generally characteristic of CUPs). At the level of the Three of Cups, the emotion seems to begin to take shape, but the real form will be at the level of the Four; at the Three level, only trying on takes place.
The trap is being overly involved with feelings.
Straight position: In the upright position, the position of the card can mean the resolution of problems, recovery, obtaining a satisfactory result, a successful ending (of something), victory in an undertaking that does not require special strength, coming to a compromise, improvement.
Three means that the initial emotional impulse takes some satisfactory forms.
In this case, one emotion can be replaced by another, more acceptable one.
Such games usually occur at the subconscious level.
Inverted position: In an inverted position, the card symbolizes excessive love of pleasure, lust, voluptuousness, a tendency to exaggerate, wasting one’s vitality on pleasure, excesses, lack of prestige, misunderstanding of the situation, delays, completion of some business, most likely with a very modest result.
Evgeny Kolesov. "The ABC of Tarot".
< >This card usually shows three figures holding cups; it also means friendship and love, a time to rejoice and a time to share your joy with others.
This is the success of a planned business, the restoration of good relationships, the onset of a favorable “streak” in life, a successful journey, in a word, luck, although more likely of a spiritual than a material plane.
Unlike the Two, the Three indicates the success and improvement of relationships of many or at least several people who make up a family, group, team, etc. Owners of the “Egyptian Tarot” deck or other Kabbalistic variants should take into account that this card can mean marriage or a close karmic connection between two people.
Compared to the higher cards of the Cups, this card can mean a relatively small benefit (success) compared to other, more favorable chances - but without unnecessary risk.
Compare with the Six, Nine and Ten of Cups.
Inverted: It retains its favorable meaning, indicating only that at the moment something is interfering with success and good relationships, but this will pass over time.
The Three of Cups does not bode well for a person. Her appearance in a reading is a sign of kindness and success. The interpretation of the 3 cups is completely consistent with its image. Three people are holding filled cups.
The Three of Cups symbolizes overcoming difficulties
It gives the impression of celebration and fun. So the meaning of the Tarot card is connected precisely with this. Overcoming some difficulties, problems and establishing peaceful relations - all this characterizes the Three of Cups, on the positive side.
Description of the Three of Cups image
The illustrations of the 3 Cups have several similar variations. In some decks, girls are depicted on this Arcana. They are dancing in a beautiful clearing. Each of the girls holds a cup in her hand. In other decks, instead of young beauties, elders are depicted. They communicate with each other and share their wisdom.
But the cups remain unchanged. The peculiar celebration of three people determines that they are not strangers to each other. “Unity” is exactly the idea that the author put into his creation. And celebration is “success.” These two different concepts indicate the meaning of the Arcanum itself.
But there are also deeper, sacred differences in meaning. Having noticed these, you can significantly expand your own interpretation of the card in layouts. If you compare the Two and Three of Cups, you can easily determine the main difference between them. And above all, it is a dance.
The dancing girls of the Three of Cups personify a personal state - pleasure from the presence of surrounding loved ones.
The Two of Cups has no such meaning. So, a certain conclusion suggests itself. A person, without constraining his emotions, shares his joy with others. All “joy” comes from a “pure” heart. So in numerology, “3” is the number responsible for human emotions. And the Three of Cups fully shows this.
Meaning of the Three of Cups
- victory in business;
- reconciliation with a friend;
- getting an answer to a pressing question;
- recovery after illness;
- prosperity and success.
The Three of Cups can speak of recovery from illness
And what is important is that any “good” rarely refers to the material World. After all, the number “3” is emotions. Likewise, a person is happy in heart and soul for receiving a “gift” or pleasant news. Sometimes, a drawn card indicates “new opportunities.” But if they are associated with a person’s emotional state, it becomes difficult to understand the meaning of them.
But it's not that difficult to explain. You just need to think about what areas of life emotions interact with. This is most often love or a favorite activity. This is especially true for creative individuals. And such “new opportunities” are a symbol of the beginning of a new successful development of events.
But there are times when the Three of Cups suit predicts completely banal meanings. The card can be interpreted as a “feast” and “celebration”. The prediction has a direct meaning from the image. A person is simply predicted to have a joyful feast with loved ones.
Reversed Three of Cups
If the Three of Cups is reversed, then its meaning is rarely considered bad. Most often, problems and interference occur in a person’s life. But they have little effect on the result itself. But since the card is emotional, the person himself torments himself with depressive thoughts about obstacles and methods of circumventing them.
But in reality it is dust. The person pushes himself too hard. Time itself can influence obstacles and they will disappear. And one’s own personal powers are capable of much. The whole point is that a person “makes a molehill out of a molehill.” The emergence of problems lies on his own shoulders.
But there are other variations of interpretation. Often, the Three of Cups Tarot card indicates excessive wastefulness, selfishness and frivolity. And such an approach will not bring “good”. It is difficult for a person to overcome himself. He uses his strength in the wrong direction, taking advantage exclusively of his shortcomings.
In the Tarot, the meaning of the Three of Cups in an inverted position may also indicate:
- about infertility or problems with bearing a fetus;
- about drug or alcohol addiction;
- about material problems associated with loved ones.
Excessive emotionality can take over even a selfish person. By making some concessions to the people around him, a person drives himself into a dead end. Your own mistake leads to problems that are very difficult to get rid of. These are often not material, but spiritual. Feelings and depression are possible.
Combination of the Three of Cups with other Arcana
Neighboring cards from the Three of Cups Tarot have a great influence on the Arcanum itself. And even in an upright position, the Three of Cups takes on different meanings. It's all about stronger cards. Especially if among them there are the Major Arcana. Such differences can be noticed even in such combinations:
Three of Cups combined with Strength - jealousy
- with “Jester” - flirting;
- with “Chariot” - confusion of relationships;
- with “Strength” - jealousy;
- with “Devil” - seduction or deception.
But there is a whole series of cards with which the Three of Cups, when combined, gives something new, bright and joyful. Nothing gives a person all this like the birth of a new life. It is pregnancy that is indicated by combinations of the Three of Cups Tarot card with:
- Peace.
- Empress.
- Ace of Wands.
- Emperor.
- Wheel of Fortune.
But the third of these has a double meaning. In addition to the birth of a child, such a card simply determines the appearance of “new things.” This may be related to work or any other area of human life.
Interpretation about relationships
For relationships, the Three of Cups card is a wave of fresh feelings and joyful emotions. This Arcana is one of the most favorable in the deck for couples in love. But such a card is even more useful for those people who already live as a full-fledged family. This predicts mutual understanding, devotion, strong love and cohesion.
In some readings, the appearance of the Three of Cups signifies the birth of a child. This often applies to young couples who are only at the stage of planning their family. And we should not forget about the emotionality of Arkan. All predictions will be made in a joyful manner, with happy feelings and care. This is a kind of gratitude to a loved one for a “new life.”
But everything changes upside down when this Arcanum falls out in an inverted position. In a relationship, there comes a period of discussion of pressing everyday problems. Mutual understanding and support will go nowhere. Possible: quarrels, separations, divorces and complete hatred of lovers.
Career decisions from the Three of Cups
The interpretation of the Three of Cups in relation to work is often determined by the same fact - the ending. And such an ending always has a positive meaning. In work, this interpretation determines the end of a difficult and exhausting project. For students, this is graduation from a university, accompanied by passing exams or defending a diploma project. For those already working, the meaning of the card will have a similar meaning. Even promotions are possible.
The Three of Cups can indicate successful completion of university
And most importantly, Arkan can show this action partially. When promoted, feasts can be organized to celebrate the worker’s honorable successes. Such an event will definitely remain in a person’s soul as a good time.
After all, Three suggests a good mood. And you don’t need to be afraid of sidelong glances, gossip or any discontent from your superiors. The map points specifically to entertainment. And any shackling of oneself is ineffective. After all, only in a relaxed state and in an informal atmosphere can a person show his best side.
What personalities corresponds to the Three of Cups suit?
If you analyze the Arcana, you can determine the character of the person to whom such a card corresponds. The first thing that is noticeable is emotionality. Likewise, people can be too sensitive and fixated on their inner world. Such a person must owe his success to others. Only in the company of loved ones does a person feel confident and relaxed. And even the love for noisy parties and feasts occurs only in moments of “unity” with friends.
The card symbolizes entertainment. Likewise, the profession of such a person is connected precisely with entertainment activities.
Ideally suit the following descriptions: theater and film actors, animators, comedians, etc. Such a person works only with people and for people, and gets pleasure from it.
With the Arcana reversed, the situation changes. Such people follow their own ideas and whims. And it doesn't matter whether they are good or bad. The very life of such a person is disordered. People are not constant in relationships, they can cheat and lie a lot to their loved ones. A series of failures also affects your sex life.
Lovers from such people are weak and worthless. And what is important, a tendency to alcohol and drugs can reject others. Even the closest relatives turn away from such a person.

6. The holiday is not a joy, bad fun.
General value:
The Three of Cups expresses joy, carefree and gratitude - feelings that are so clearly manifested in people, for example, at the traditional Harvest Festival. It shows that something important and beautiful has come into our lives, or that we have received a gift (from a person or from fate itself) that has filled us with joy, happiness and gratitude. On a deeper level, the card can mean optimism and a feeling of completeness of being; on an external (event) level, it can mean a holiday, a feast.
Job:
The end of an important stage of work and a banquet on this occasion. This could be passing an exam, defending a dissertation, a promotion or salary increase, or concluding a lucrative deal. Or - a warm, friendly atmosphere in a team, a joint event, a picnic with colleagues.
Consciousness:
The Three of Cups indicates that we have joyfully and gratefully come to the end of some important phase of our internal development - or achieved results that filled us with a feeling of joy and happiness. Or it shows that the period of crisis and testing has ended for us, albeit difficult, but extremely valuable in terms of the experience gained. Of course, it may mean that we are now simply feeling good and in a good mood, and we are grateful to fate for the opportunity to enjoy life.
Personal relationships:
Here this card means the joys of the “honeymoon” or simply a harmonious relationship with a partner. And also gratitude for the fact that we have such a wonderful partner - or for the addition of the family, expected or already taking place.

The Three of Cups Tarot card is one of the minor arcana. In most cases, it depicts cheerful girls who are very beautiful. They do not know what sadness and despair are, they have no problems, they live their lives in fun and celebration, they feel lightness and carelessness. The girls are holding cups with some kind of liquid above their heads. The card is a symbol of love and friendship, a time when others are able to rejoice at a person’s successes, so you can tell them about all the good things that happen in the fortuneteller’s life.

The lasso can be interpreted as meaning that the difficult situation will soon be resolved for the better, all things will go like clockwork, an unexpected journey is expected, and in general, a bright streak will not be long in coming.
In an inverted position, the Three of Cups shows that there are still some problems that will not lead to large-scale troubles, but will make their contribution to the fate of the fortuneteller and will force him to work a lot to get out of the vicious circle. Also, the card often shows that a person dreams of an idle and prosperous lifestyle, does not want to do anything, but wants everything to fall from heaven. He indulges in dreams of an endless holiday, wants to taste what is currently inaccessible to him and wants to become the chosen one in this world, gain power and subjugate others. That is why you should carefully observe yourself and try to draw the right conclusions.
