There can be a hint of hedonism and narcissism as the 3 can be a bit of an attention seeker as it needs recognition and a crowd to acknowledge its existence, authenticating its feelings and desires. There is no romance in this card as it is about enjoying company, the joy of unattached freedom and just having a good time. Not necessarily 3 people but several or more which is why it is the party card. Where the Ace of Cups and the 2 Of Cups are focused on individual and one on one relationships the 3 of Cups is about being in a crowd. The 3 of Cups combines the numerological traits of 3 with the element of Water making it an emotionally focused 3. It requires supervision and discipline to keep it out of trouble and to help it make the most of its talents. The down sides of the 3 are irresponsibility, lack of focus and direction. The number 3 is a bit of an extrovert, always optimistic, dynamic and jovial. Kids love to paint, sing, dance and be social and they epitomise the 3 constantly because they have a powerful need to express themselves through their imagination and creativity. We see the greatest example of the joy of 3 and its expressiveness in children. In numerology the number 3 is about self expression. Otherwise stop here and look forward to being one of the happy 3 in that scene. It seems a shame to pull apart and dissect such a lovely card to understand its symbology for greater insight, almost like pulling the petals off a flower, but for those instances where it makes an appearance, and it doesn't seem to fit the context, we will continue. The 3 of Cups is exactly what its image in the Rider Waite Smith (RWS) deck depicts, a happy social gathering which is likely to be its most common meaning when it makes an appearance.
