Three of Cups Tarot Card Meaning (3 Cups: Friendship and Celebration)
Three women raise cups in a harvest circle, mid-dance, feet off the ground. Not romance and not family — the friendship that needs no justifying story. Who have you not seen in far too long, and what is actually stopping the message?

Reversed Meaning
Core meaning: Overindulgence or a friendship strained by gossip
The circle turns inward and somebody is being discussed. Closeness built around a shared target forms fast and is unpleasant to stand outside of, and everyone inside it knows they could be next. Which conversation would you not want repeated back to its subject?
