Three feminine figures dance in a joyful circle, raising their cups high in a toast. Their laughter and connection create an atmosphere of warmth, community, and celebration. The energy between them is light and inviting, as if they are reveling in a moment of pure joy.

At their feet, an abundant harvest of fresh fruits, pumpkins, and flowers spills across the ground, symbolizing prosperity and gratitude. This bounty suggests they are celebrating the richness of life—both in material rewards and in the friendships that nourish the spirit.

When the Three of Cups appears in a reading, it often brings a reason to rejoice. It is a card of shared happiness, meaningful connections, and the reminder that life’s sweetest moments are best enjoyed together.

Weekly Guidance from The Three of Cups

When the Three of Cups appears in a reading, it’s always a joyous occasion—or at the very least, a reminder to invite more joy into our lives. This week’s guidance is simple: seek out community, connection, and support.

I say this as a chronic introvert, someone who can spend weeks detached from society, lost in the secluded mountainous retreat of my own mind. And yet, even for me, it’s essential to share and receive joy with others.

Even for those of us who prefer solitude, these times remind us of the importance of finding and pouring into our own strange little fellowships. In a world that feels increasingly uncertain, we need our people—our chosen family—to remind us that joy still exists and that it’s worth celebrating.

Like the three figures in the Three of Cups, this week calls us to honor and fully embrace the connections we have, no matter how big or small. When we share joy with those closest to us, it becomes a powerful act of resilience, a much-needed boost to keep us going. In this long winter—both literal and metaphorical—finding light and levity with the people we love is more important than ever, and it may be just be the remedy we are all needing in this dark night. 

So let this be the week we embrace the goodness that still remains, together.
