Three Cards
The three card tarot spread is one of the oldest methods. You can get to the heart of your question with a simple three-card Tarot reading. 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.
This opening provides a GENERAL perspective to the period you are in. Or you can evaluate the comments in the frame of your question.
Two Of Cups
Upright
Unified love, partnership, mutual attraction
If the Ace of Cups symbolizes the love from within, the Two of Cups is the love between two souls. With this card, you are creating deep connections, based on shared preferences, kindness, and absolute love. While these connections are still in the initial steps, they have the potential to grow into something deeply satisfying and rewarding. You have shared respect for one another, and you reach essential planes of knowledge and understanding.
When the Two of Cups card shows up in a Tarot reading, you may enter a new relationship, perhaps with a lover, friend or co-worker. You are both concentrated on creating a mutually helpful relationship.
In a romantic relationship, the Two of Cups shows a new union based on common attraction. There is both a bodily and spirit connection that leaves you dizzy and shaky at the knees. You bring out the best in each other and raise each other to even greater levels of potential. The transfer of emotion is deep, and you are both willing to do whatever it takes to hold one another. In some cases, the Two of Cups can point to marriage or engagement.
In a career reading, the Two of Cups is a symbol you are both on the same wavelength and share a similar vision with your business partner. A business like this – built on trust and mutual respect – is likely to win so long as you proceed to interact with one another and focus on your shared association.
Reversed
Self-love, break-ups, disharmony, distrust
The reversed Two of Cups is about love for yourself. When you love yourself completely, you welcome a life of happiness because you believe you deserve it. When you come from this point of self-love, you will have more fulfilling connections with other people.
Here is the shadow side of the reversed Two of Cups. Before you seek out your Prince Charming or tie the bond with your forever love, make sure you’ve fulfilled your cup with all that love liquid for yourself first. To find satisfaction in your relationships, find the love within you. No other soul, property, or success can do it for you.
The reversed Two of Cups can sometimes indicate a break-up. You are out of harmony with each other and don‘t experience the same loving connection you did in the past. Communication may be limited or delayed, and the energy flow between you extinguished. To change this situation, open up and share, and maintain a safe area for one another to express your feelings.
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.
Two of Swords
Upright
Difficult decisions, weighing up options, an impasse, avoidance
The Two of Swords shows that you are handling a difficult decision and you are confused about which option to choose. Both possibilities may seem equal and you don’t know about which will lead you to the best result.
In a reading, it may help to draw further cards to show what it is you are seeking to decide upon. You may also like to draw more cards, for the pros and cons of each option.
The woman in this card covers her eyes with a blindfold, showing that she cannot see the whole of her situation. So you may lack the knowledge you need to make the right choices. You may be needing something, such as the warnings or risks, alternative resolutions or important pieces of information that would guide you in a distinct direction.
The Two of Swords could also purposely wear the blindfold to avoid making a choice. Are you trying to hide from a hard situation, hoping that if you neglect it long enough, you won’t need to bother about it? Sadly, the problem is unlikely to resolve itself, and the longer you hold, the longer you will lengthen this present condition.
The Two of Swords appears as a reminder that many of life’s choices are tough ones and rarely come with plain solutions. The message is to make your decisions with your best purposes, fully aware of the potential consequences.
Reversed
Indecision, confusion, information overload, stalemate
The reversed Two of Swords implies that you are encountering a tough decision and cannot decide which direction to take. It seems impossible to make the correct decision as you know either option will lead to negative results. As a result, you are finding yourself feeling stuck, which is just making the circumstance worse.
You may also lack the knowledge you need to make a reasonable decision. You may also be closed off to new information that could solve your dilemma like the blindfolded woman is closed off to the outside world.
The reversed Two of Swords is asking you to listen to your intuition about this tough choice. Believe what you know to be right for you. Make your choices based on your own inner compass.
The reversed Two of Swords often describes a delay. You may reach an obstacle with a friend or a loved one. The problem is that all people involved are declining to see the circumstance from the other’s viewpoint.
The reversed Two of Swords may also hint you are feeling stuck in the center of two opposing sides. You may be trying to play the mediator role, but in doing so, you are just frustrating yourself. Determine whether you truly have a role to play and whether you can build peace between the two conflicting parties.
