Three of Cups

A virgin, a mother, and a wizened crone stand before you, the same woman separated by time. The sacred Threes combine the brilliance of a single sun with the balance of binary stars, a bright light of ambition in the swirl of the heavens.

Energy and unity provide fertile ground for ambition; whether that ambition begets success or frustration is a mystery the cards may deign to unravel.

Upright

• Celebration
• Good fortune
• Health

The Earth prepares to bestow a great gift upon you and those closest to you. Perhaps a romantic partnership blossoms into marriage, or a marriage long distant reaches a significant milestone. Or perhaps the Three of Cups heralds a new arrival outside your immediate family.

Good health is a ball of light in which you bathe, and this light illuminates your surroundings to reveal further joy and still more gifts from the Stars. You will be invited to an array of social engagements; enrobe yourself in finery and enjoy the laughter which surrounds you, for this time will not last forever.

Inverted

• Overindulgence
• Foolish extravagance
• Celebration

A time of celebration has left you jaded; the world appears misted, as if behind a curtain of gauze. Perhaps your body, unable to keep pace, is corpulent or aching.

Your financial cup, too, is empty. Resist your urge to shower yourself with expensive gifts and opportunities for enjoyment, especially where borrowing is required to do so.

Despite your fatigue, opportunities for enjoyment may still arrive in volumes. Accept these opportunities if you wish, but accept also the limits your depleted state may put on them.
