Three of Cups Meaning

When drawing tarot cards, usually they are put in a vertical setting, spread on a timeline of the past, present, and future. In this kind of drawing, the Three of Cups may come up straight, as well as reversed. Some psychic readers do like to read reversed tarot cards. Some don’t. Either way, the other tarot cards in the drawing will make up for the way the psychic readers conduct their readings because a Tarot Card deck is connected to the energy of the psychic reader, so it ‘talks’ to them.

Horizontal Position

There are also spreads where the tarot cards pulled are placed on vertical as well as horizontal positions. If the Three of Cups would sit in a horizontal position, it advises you to find a balance in your social life.

People need a community to thrive, but there are times when you forget to work on your own life or focus on your personal goals. This may come as a result of procrastinating, postponing important goals to go out with friends or take unnecessary risks to please others. You need to find the right balance, so you do not risk your job, your friendships, and your social life. If you feel like you won’t be as much support if you don’t please your friends, then you are better off without them. If you don’t find the will to work on your goals, but instead choose to go out now and then, you need to work on that. If you spend all your money on parties, gifts, luxurious trips, without making more, you need to balance out that too.

Three of Cups – Love and Relationships

Three of Cups how someone sees you

The Three of Cups would signify that your relationship is harmonious, happy and you pretty much feel fulfilled in your relationship and with your life. It could also indicate a celebration to come. Maybe it is your engagement party or wedding. It can also be a celebration where you will be invited with your partner. This card usually indicates upcoming events to celebrate with your partner, rather than the actual relationship status.

How someone sees you or feels about you?

The answer would be they see you as someone who makes their day brighter and the life together more comfortable. Even though stormy days, you manage to lighten up the situation, take it with a dose of humor, and help your partner feel more comfortable and also safe in the relationship. They know you are standing by their side no matter what, and they love you more for it.

Just starting dating?

If you have started dating this new person, the Three of Cups may indicate that you have met at a party or an event. This person sees you as someone who is fun and tends to bring the sunshine everywhere they enter. They see you as a social butterfly, you may know a lot of people, and you always seem to be able to entertain them all, no matter their personality. They love your energy and want to have more of it in their life, with you by their side.

What not to do?

In terms of what not to do, it would advise you to take a better look at how people react towards you and how your partner reacts to your social behavior. You may love to entertain people, but this may also make your partner feel like there’s nothing special left for them. This doesn’t mean that it is your fault. But it does matter if you still act like you are single, or if you joke too much to the point of flirting with others, which is not your partner’s fault anymore, it is yours.

You should be careful not to overstep boundaries or jeopardize your relationship by lack of respect if you make others feel like they can have a go with you, or they see you as someone single.

Reverse Position (Love and Relationships)

If you pull the Three of Cups, reversed, indicates a relationship that is going down the wrong road. Maybe you are paying more attention to your close circle or making time to meet with them more than you make time for your partner, and vice versa. It could also indicate that there are too many people in this relationship, meaning that one of you is cheating on the other, or looking outside of the relationship for the fun part, and burdening the other partner with all the chores and responsibilities to keep the relationship going.

In business and career, the Three of Cups is a good omen that indicates a harmonious and safe workplace. You feel like you can rely on your colleagues, and your job is easier because of that. You have found common ground, and maybe your colleagues have become your good friends. It can also indicate an upcoming celebration at the workplace. Such could be a new business opening, a celebration of a promotion or milestone for the company. It can also indicate that you will meet good business partners.   

What not to do?

The Three of Cups would advise you to make friends at your workplace. Maybe you have chosen to withdraw yourself and not get to know your colleagues or share private stories with them. The thing is that you spend most of the days with your colleagues, and if you don’t form a bond with them, you won’t be able to work in peace and get results, nor will you have a support system when you need it.

Reverse Position (Business and Finance)

In this case, it could foretell you are not getting along with your colleagues. It can indicate that there is a lot of gossip and backstabbing at your workplace. It can also forecast an upcoming failure of a business project. You may be feeling alone at your workplace, and you can’t figure out why, but you also can’t help doubt your abilities when you see your colleagues getting along easily with each other or forming teams.

When will something happen answer?

Three of Cups how someone sees you

If it is a question that involves around the timing of an event and you pull the Three of Cups, this would mean that whatever you desire or wonder about will manifest slowly. Still, it will grow inflow, as a Water element indicates steady but assertive flowing movement.

How soon is that, it would be kind of complicated because it could mean Summertime, or that of a Zodiac Sign season Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces.

It would also be counted in months, or around the 3rd, 12h, 21st, or 30h of a month.  The way you want to interpret this is keeping in mind that whatever you are asking about is coming, slowly growing over time and becoming a steady flow of blessings. With the Cups Suit, the best way to go around figuring out the time would always be to think at least one later, and it would go something like this: If it is already Spring, your best bet would be around Scorpio season.
