The "Threes" in the Tarot Deck generally suggest
a family unit of mother, father and child. This represents the resolution
of the tension inherent in the number "two" (to due to opposition of
oppposite extremes). However, this numerical "theme" is one of the least
apparent of such themes as the card s number three vary widely from suit
to suit.
In the case of the Three of Cups, we have one of the most joyous
cards in the Tarot Deck. A delightful example of this is shown in the Robin
Wood deck in which three young women are depicted dancing energetically
yet gracefully holding cups and wearing brightly coloured dresses.
This card is a positive as it looks !
Some commentaries about this card explain
that the three women are toasting their successes achieved by working
together.
