Symbolism & Imagery:

On the Three of Cups card, we can see three merry ladies dancing with their cups raised in celebration. The colours of the card are cheerful and incite positive emotions when the reader looks at it. The (three) cups are golden representing plenty and bountiful emotions. On the ground, we can see pumpkin, grapes and other fruits representing the season of festivals and merriment.

The three Graces are seen wearing red, yellow and white gowns respectively, representing passion, joy and purity of love and emotion within the card. They have laurels on their heads that are symbols of victory, protection and peace; they also symbolize the favour of the gods and higher spirits that are laying their gifts upon the mortal on this earthly plane.

We also see flowers in this card, which represent joy, success, good things that come to us, good fortune and happy times. One of the ladies on the card is holding grapes. This represents that the liquid in the cups is most likely some form of alcohol (wine), and amplifies the energy of merriment that this card represents.
