Reverse
Alone time / independence / isolation / loneliness / solitude
The Three of Cups, in reverse, represents the time to isolate and be alone with your own company to enjoy. Not all times require a celebration or an outing; space can benefit you. You’re not missing something. In general, this card represents canceled celebrations due to unforeseen events or due to arguments. This card may indicate that someone from your inner circle is being negative and spreading rumors behind you. Be aware of whom you confide to.
In a different interpretation, you may feel isolated now, with a neglected social life, or that you have grown apart from your family and friends. No matter how bad things get or even if it seems that you’ve hit your lowest, keep pushing through and reaching out to your inner circle. Try to invite some love and light in, and don’t turn your back on hands that reach out to help you.
What can I celebrate today?
Can I see the opportunities around me?
