So as I have mentioned before I like other fortune tellers other than Peter Answers. I am fascinated by those who can read the tarot cards and as part of learning more about them I am going through and documenting what each of the cards mean. Of course the magic of having your fortune told is that the fortune teller doesn’t just tell you what the cards mean they truly read all of the signs to offer you a fortune that is most likely to come to fruition.

There are three cards in the tarot that focus on the aspect of the group - each from a different point of view. It’s the formal approach for the Hierophant, teamwork for the Three of Pentacles, and for the Three of Cups, it’s emotions. How does it feel like to join with others? What is friendship and community? These questions are answered by the Three of Cups.

On the Three of Cups there are three women dancing together in a circle. Their arms reach out to each other to connect their feelings, which is represented by the Cups. In many settings, women create and nurture the social glue that bonds people together. These dancing women are a symbol of coming together in love. (Of course, these feelings do not only relate to woman.)

When doing a tarot spread, the Three of Cups can signify a friend or the feelings associated with friendship. This card can represent community - the network of support created when we interact with others. It can be any group in which the members feel a bond. When you see the Three of Cups, examine your attachments to the groups in your life from an emotional point of view. Consider reaching out to give or receive help. This card stands for all forms of support, including formal aid such as counseling and other social services.

The women on the Three of Cups tarot card also express joy and high spirits. Such feelings are not limited to groups, but can be especially strong there. Celebrations arise when people feel connected, loved and secure. The Three of Cups can stand for a mood or experience that makes you feel like dancing and singing.

The actions of the Three of Cups are feeling exhuberant, enjoying friendship and valuing community. Some of the cards you don’t want to see matched with the Three of Cups are the Hermit, the Nine of Wands, and the Three, Six or Nine of Swords.
