In this spread, there are three different positions which can be changed by to your preference, Past – Present – Future (or Situation – Action – Outcome, Situation – Obstacle – Advice and etc.).
The meaning of the card you choose varies according to it’s position.

Ten of Cups
Upright
Divine love, blissful relationships, harmony, alignment
The Ten of Cups represents emotional satisfaction and happiness, especially in your relationships and family. You have created plenty of love and happiness in your life. You share a powerful connection with your loved ones. You support one another, and together, you encourage each other to reach your greatest potential.
The Ten of Cups card is considered the ‘happy family’ card, implying that your family connections are peaceful and loving. This card may show up when you are spending more time with family, perhaps on a holiday or celebration, where you can rest and enjoy together.
In a love reading the Ten of Cups is a positive card and may symbolize either a new relationship or a commitment. You share an eternal love and you are soul mates destined to be together.
When the Ten of Cups shows up in a Tarot reading, you have a feeling of wholeness, fulfillment in your connections with others. You are experiencing a pleasant state of peace, harmony, and love where your dreams came true. Take a moment to enjoy everything you succeeded. You created a life of happiness by following your heart and trusting yourself.
The Ten of Cups inspires you to follow your heart to guide you to the possibilities aligned with your Highest Good. When something feels wonderful, do more of it; and when something doesn’t feel fit, do less of it. Allow your inner guidance to guide the way. Explore opportunities that fulfill you and align with your preferences instead of tracking the path that others require you to take.
Reversed
Disconnection, misaligned values, struggling relationships
When the reversed Ten of Cups card arrives in a Tarot reading, you are asking higher harmony in your connections. You had hoped for a beautiful, peaceful relationship, but in reality, you feel detached and disengaged from your loved person. It may feel as if something is missing, and you’re striving to talk sincerely, empathize with one another. Each time you try to connect, something goes opposite, and you end up with even more disconnected. You may have nonsensical expectations of the connection: that everything will be excellent and cheerful every minute you are together. If this resonates, then change your expectations and realize that every connection has its ups and downs. Or, you may no longer be suitable for each other, in which case you may think to leave.
The Ten of Cups invites you to seek out common spot with your loved ones and restore the relationship from there. See the other person as a being deserving your love; and fairly, see yourself as a being worthy of theirs. Love and be loved. Open the channels of contact and be ready to hold a place for one another so you can reconnect on a more profound level. Be kind, empathetic, and attentive, and endeavor harmony.
The reversed Ten of Cups can also appear when you are envisioning what a love connection indicates for you. Rather than creating connections with other people, you are concentrating your awareness inward so you can get certainty around what you want from a connection. You may look at your current relationships and review how these relationships arrange with your passions. Let go of any that no longer give you happiness, and welcome in new connections in adjustment with your Highest Good.
The reversed Ten of Cups can show an unbalance of personal preferences. You are not living by your values, nor are you being authentic to yourself. Bring your center back to what really makes you happy even if it varies from what others expect.
Finally, the reversed Ten of Cups may imply that you are ignoring your family while you proceed more material purposes such as improving your career or earning more money.
Page of Cups
Upright
Creative opportunities, intuitive messages, curiosity, possibility
The Page of Cups implies a new idea or possibility has come to you. Your artistic energy is running, and now the problem is how you will show it. Will you take this idea and turn it into reality, or will you let someone else bring it to fulfillment? Explore the idea to see if you want to move ahead.
The Page of Cups calls you to have an open mind. Be ready to anything – even a fish jumping out of a cup! It is with an interesting mind that you will discover new perspectives on life. Be open to all probabilities, particularly those of a creative nature, you will be very astonished.
As each Page card invites you to discover a new aspect of yourself, the Page of Cups is inviting you to explore your emotional character. Dreamy ideas rush through your consciousness, and you may find yourself affected by simplistic things. Don’t be hesitant to let your feelings flow.
This card often arises when you are being invited to trust your inspiration and be open to the crowd of instinctive information coming to you. They may come from amazing places, or they may not even make sense to your logical mind; be open to the possibility and ready to explore new perspectives of yourself.
In a rational understanding, the Page of Cups can symbolize that you will get a nice surprise. The Page cards are often identified as the messengers, and with the Page of Cups, you may obtain a message about the emotions, feeling, or imaginative endeavors. It might be a new love affair or a new job offer. It is not a surprise you can expect or make; be ready to accept when the time comes.
Reversed
New ideas, doubting intuition, creative blocks, emotional immaturity
The reversed Page of Cups implies that you are keeping your creative ideas secret. You may bother that others will steal your idea or tell you it’s going to fail. You are keeping your plans private instead, so you can develop them more without the influence of other people.
With the reversed Page of Cups, you may feel invited to attempt a new plan, but you wonder whether you can really get it to work. Your internal critic may be on over-drive or people around you are telling you that you’re daydreaming – so you are postponing and holding back. Listen to your heart whether it’s time to just do it regardless of the consequence.
If you are exploring your inspiration, the reversed Page of Cups can hint that you are facing a lot of uncertainty. You are trying carefully to listen to your inner voice, but when the messages come within, you are left questioning if it’s your intuitive guidance or your mind.
Sometimes, the reversed Page of Cups can display someone who is emotionally naive – perhaps overly dramatic, who over-shares and is very vulnerable. This may be someone who is likely to emotional outbursts when they do not get their direction. Or it may be someone who is overly romantic about their future and who is not grounded in truth. It may be ‘Peter Pan Syndrome’, in which a grown-up acts like a child for the rest of their lives.
Three of Cups
Upright
Celebration, friendship, creativity, collaborations
The Three of Cups is a card of party, friendship, and creative collaborations. Your friends are here to encourage you and lift you to even higher levels of achievement. Rejoice with them and appreciate their friendship.
When the Three of Cups appears in a Tarot reading, you are urged to meet with your closest friends and have a pleasant time together. Together, you give and accept the love and empathy. Your energy is high, and you’re here to do astonishing things together.
The Three of Cups often indicates a sociable gathering – such as a anniversary, a marriage, or a holiday with friends. See it as your possibility to forget about your daily responsibilities and duties for a while. Spend good time with friends and family and have a fun!
This card also invites you to cooperate with others on a productive project and encourage one another to attain new aims. Collectively, you are working towards a common purpose, and by reaching out to others, you can accomplish a great deal of work.
Reversed
Independence, alone time, hardcore partying, third-party
While the upright Three of Cups is a card of friendship and social situations, the reversal of this card implies that you would like to go it single right now. You may have lately spent a lot of time with other people and now just need some lone time. Or perhaps you are no longer ‘matching’ with a social group and are willing to move on. Or sometimes, you might find yourself excluded from other people’s gatherings and feeling isolated. Acknowledge your desire to be out of the social groups for a while and enjoy this time by yourself.
If you are involved in a project, now may be the time to work individually rather than in a gathering. Your creativity is being blocked, or you are being made to adapt to the group. You may be one who does things a particular way and is not open to modification or alternative methods. You need to consider whether you are ready to surrender your creative skills in favour of the group’s wishes.
On the other meaning, the Three of Cups reversed may signify overindulgence. You may be out most nights partying, doing drugs or drinking heavily when what you need is balance in your life. Take a break from the social scene.
The reversed Three of Cups can show up in a third-party situation. You may be connected with someone who is already in a relationship with someone else, whether you know it or not. Check the other cards for more detail. The Seven of Swords indicates a deception and possible cheating. If Five of Swords is in your reading, you likely already know about the other connection, but you are trying to neglect. If there is the Devil, recognize the nature of the connection.
