The Three of Cups is aligned with Mercury in Cancer and is also known as the Lord of Abundance. It represents an overflowing of good feeling, celebration and good times.
When this card shows up in a reading for you, there is a realisation that you have and can have all that you desire. Happiness is your birthright and you really feel it with this card.
Emotion flows enjoyably and you enjoy close friendships with whom you enjoy an equal understanding and sympatico.
There may be celebrations coming up - traditionally this card can symbolise the birth of a beloved child, a christening or a special party - whatever the case, it brings a promise of emotional fulfillment, happy times and an opportunity to shore up reminiscences for the future.
On a deeper level this card is one of love of the highest order - love really does conquer all, and the opportunity to experience the true power of love is at its height for you. I am not talking just about romantic love, even though this is one of the mysteries when it involves the merging of two souls to create a third thing, the Sacred Marriage. I am also talking about love of friends, neighbours and even one's enemies, for the power here can transform any person starting with you and extending out to any human being on the planet. It takes a certain evolved maturity to reach this state, and yet the ecstatic vision apparent in the imagery of this card does point towards this possibility.
Joy, luck, fertility, exuberance, healthy vitality, flowing of abundance, playfulness, emotional fulfillment, divine delight - all these are keywords for the experiences found in the Three of Cups. It is wise to enjoy the bounty of emotional fruition that comes to you now, and create those experiences that you will look back on fondly in your future.
“When you do things from your soul, you feel a river moving in you, a joy.” ― Rumi
