Three of Cups is the third Minor Arcana tarot card on the suit of Cups. In some decks the suit is named Chalices instead. This card is used in game playing as well as in divination.


Divination Usage

This card often carries the meaning of joyful social contact, although it may be considered to be rather superficial, unlike the two of the same suit which is considered more personal. There's agreement, general harmony, frivolity, and sometimes it is associated with birth[1][2], especially if it comes up with other birth-related cards such as The Empress.

  • Description: The Three of Cups represents groups coming together to focus on a common emotional goal. People reach out emotionally to one another. It speaks of a sense of community, and can indicate the time to get more involved by helping. An inner passion for caring may be discovered, and energy put forth toward a goal will be positive and nurturing. It can also signal that this is the time to reach out if things have been particularly rough in the past. This cards stands for all forms of support including formal organizations such as counseling or other social services. It's important that when the need for support is recognized that action is taken. This is the best time to do that. Reversed, the Three of Cups suggests that isolation from others is occurring. It is the time to take charge of the situation and to get out into the community. Consider joining a group or organization, and if the need for support is present, seek out the necessary resources.
Rider-Waite symbolism
  • This card is very flat. It is unusual in the fact that it has no depth, not even a minimal background mountain or hill as in similar cards, although it is clearly portrayed in the outdoors. This may be symbolical of superficiality and the skin-deep nature of the card.
  • There's no getting around the party-feel it exudes. In serious matters this may testify to a lack of seriousness, professionalism or even maturity.
Geez.. I guess that it is not really fair to take what you want from the card and exclude the rest.
It start out reading nice.. but the lack of seriousness and professionalism ... maturity kinda bugs me.. However we are still babies when it comes to the results of this group right?
I mean we are still studying and developing this work for a goal of Tarot and Theater..
I could even go so far as to say that this could be something to offer at the w omens performance art weekendwe are doing on the Spring Equinox. If you know women artisits musicians and the like let us know... We have a few groups from Arcata coming.

That whole weekend is women only ... sorry guys..... but you can have a weekend too if you need one.. I sure could use a dose of women only activities ...
So I get from this card so far... to continue to pull my energies in ,, do not get too spread out and yet move forward with my work with THE MUSE.
If any of you feel inspired to donate to the program in a larger way... WE WOULD LOVE IT.
Class and studio time is opening up in November. 10-15$ pr hour is so cheap for the very large studio space we get to finally reclaim. Plus the small studio will be open and Ileya is open to Artists coming in and sharing space to do art in her large art studio that we meet in.
There are kilns three as well as a wheel and painting and other facilities available.
Call US SPREAD THE WORD the spaces will fill quickly.
Thanks
