THREE OF CUPS DESCRIPTION
The Three of Cups’ energies are speaking directly to your emotions, so everything you’re experiencing right now feels much more intense than usual. This is the energy that makes you laugh at silly jokes and cry during the sad parts of a novel.
The three women in the Three of Cups dancing in this circle as they hold their cups high are having quite a grand time. Look at their smiles. Judging by the face of the woman on the right, you can tell she’s getting a bit suckered. And why not?
Surrounded by symbols representing a rich harvest in the Three of Cups Tarot, they have much to celebrate. The oranges on the ground symbolize prosperity and orange trees may even suggest marriage.
The pumpkin in the bottom right corner of the Three of Cups card signifies a rich harvest and enough wealth to pass on to your kids. The woman on the right of the Three of Cups is crowned with a wreath of grape leaves.
She holds a grape cluster of grapes in one hand and there are more grapes next to the pumpkin. Apart from symbolizing fertility and wealth, they also signify ecstasy, spiritual transformation, and uninhibited joy.
The fact that in the Three of Cups the women seem to be “pledging one another.” It adds to the dimensions of close friendship. There doesn’t appear to be a leader in this trio. Their friendship is on a completely equal footing.
In their joyful dance on the Three of Cups, they actually embody different aspects of the same feminine divine energy: the maiden, mother, and crone aspects of the goddess.

But this is not always a romantic reunion.
General: In general, things should be going well. You can look forward to at least one pleasant reunion with someone or something that you have been apart from for some time. It also can mean celebration – your own or someone that you care about - such as the celebration around a new baby, wedding, or another happy occasion.
Work: The 3 of Cups is also a good omen with regard to work. Money should be coming in, you could be coming into a new job and/or a promotion. The mood in general in your working world should be relatively pleasant. If you are looking for work, you should be quite successful (perhaps surprisingly so) at how well things work out for you. So don't give up.
Love: Although this card can mean a reunion with a lost love; it does not always indicate that. You must look carefully at the rest of the reading in context, to decide whether that interpretation fits.
If you are single, the most likely interpretation is that you will meet a likely love soon - someone who really "fits the bill" of the person you are looking for and that this person will be a new love, not someone you "used" to be with.
Finances: This is an important time to not be too attached to money. It will be flowing but maybe going out just as fast or nearly as fast. It's important to know that this is an abundant universe, that your needs (financial and otherwise) will be met, provided you play your part.
Health: This is a great time to consider what you are doing - and perhaps should be doing - to increase your health and vitality. You can do better - if even only slightly - than what you are doing right now.

Finances: As with the upright 3 of Cups, this is an important time to not be too attached to money. What you are "worth" has nothing to do with the size of your paycheck. Money will likely be flowing in just fine, but maybe going out just as fast. Don't allow yourself to give in to feelings of jealousy about other peoples' finances. Just take care of your own.
Health: The reversed 3 indicates that you can learn a lot and make some important strides in improving your health, by taking a look at what your friends and family members are doing to support and improve their health.
