Tarot de MarseilleThree of Cups dances in celebration, friendship, and the joy of community. Attributed to Mercury in Cancer, this card bears the title Abundance—the overflowing of emotional riches shared among kindred spirits, the multiplication of joy through generous giving.
The Three of Cups is the gathering of loved ones, the shared success, and the happiness that multiplies when given freely. Here is the feast of friendship, the celebration that honors both achievement and belonging. This card speaks of the soul's need for connection, for the warmth of community, and for the validation that comes from being truly seen and celebrated by others.
Corresponding to Binah, Understanding, in the watery world, this card embodies the fertile receptivity that nurtures growth and celebrates fruition.
