Okay, so today I decided to mess around with tarot cards again, specifically focusing on the “3 of Cups” card and its meaning in a future position. I’m no expert, but I enjoy dabbling and seeing what shakes out.
First, I cleared my space. I just tidied up my desk, put away my phone, and made sure the cat wasn’t going to jump on me mid-reading. I like to feel a little zen, you know?
Then, I shuffled my deck. I have this Rider-Waite deck I picked up a while back. I just shuffle and shuffle until it feels “right.” No fancy method here, just intuition.

After shuffling, I laid out a simple three-card spread: past, present, and future. Easy peasy. I concentrated on a general question about what’s coming up for me in the next few weeks. Nothing specific, just a general vibe check.
And guess what? The 3 of Cups popped up in the future position! I was like, “Okay, let’s see what this is all about.”
From what I remember, the 3 of Cups is all about celebrations, friendships, and good times. It’s a pretty positive card, showing a group of people (usually women) raising their cups in a toast. It suggests joy, community, and maybe even a little bit of partying.
My interpretation
Given that it was in the future position, I took it as a sign that there might be some good social times ahead. Maybe a get-together with friends I haven’t seen in a while, or perhaps an unexpected celebration. It could even mean a successful collaboration on a project, ending with a feeling of shared accomplishment.
- Possible outcomes:
- A fun night out with friends.
- A successful team project wrapping up.
- A party or celebration of some kind.
- Feeling a stronger sense of community.
Honestly, it made me feel pretty good! I’ve been kind of a homebody lately, so the thought of some positive social interaction is appealing. I’m choosing to interpret it optimistically. I’m going to keep an eye out for opportunities to connect with people and say “yes” to invitations more often. Maybe the cards are telling me to get out there and have some fun!
Of course, it’s just a card reading. But it’s a fun little nudge, and I’m going with it. We’ll see what happens!
