The Three of Cups is generally a joyful card. It depicts coming together with others to collaborate, connect and celebrate. It has deeper undertones that deal with fighting a common cause and coming through an ordeal with others by your side. Look to other cards to support this meaning...the 9 of Wands especially. If this card shows up it is not a time to isolate! Friendships should be easy and meaningful. Although three people are depicted on this card, it can bode well for a romantic relationship. It is the honeymoon period, when the falling in love has turned into a real relationship. Everything feels natural and good, but harder patterns haven't crept in yet.
Reversed: I don't use reverse cards, as every card has inherently positive and challenging aspects, depending on the client and the reading.
