Three of Cups
Celebration · Harvest · Reunion · Alliance
Three hands raise a single cup together, emphasizing the collective nature and spirit of cooperation represented by this card. Importantly, these hands are not making a sacrifice, but sharing in mutual benefit. Everyone contributes toward a common goal—but each for their own reasons. The goal is shared, yet individual interests remain intact. In other words, the “group” and the “individual” are not in conflict here.
At the center of the cup is the symbol for Mercury (☿), indicating the card's correspondence to Mercury in Cancer.
Associated Sign: Mercury in Cancer
