Okay, so, I’ve been messing around with tarot cards lately, trying to get a handle on this whole divination thing. It’s kind of fun, you know? Today, I was particularly curious about the “3 of Cups reversed” card and whether it’s a “yes” or “no” in a reading. I did some practices, so I’ll tell you how it went.
First off, I shuffled my deck. I mean, really shuffled it. I wanted to make sure the cards were good and mixed up. Then, I laid out the cards for the questions in my mind, focusing on my question: “Will I get that promotion at work?” I flipped over the cards and, bam, there it was, the “3 of Cups reversed.”
- I pulled the 3 of Cups reversed for the question “Will this new project be successful?” and the project ended up facing major delays.
- I asked, “Is my friend circle stable right now?” and got the 3 of Cups reversed again. True enough, there has been some drama lately.
- Another time, I wondered, “Will I have a good time at the party this weekend?” and drew the 3 of Cups reversed. I ended up not going because I felt a bit under the weather.
So, after doing a few readings and seeing this card pop up a few times, I started to notice a pattern. It’s kinda tricky and it seems not like a straightforward yes or no. When the 3 of Cups is upright, it’s usually about celebration, friendship, and good times. It will be a positive card.

But reversed? It was a different story. It’s the opposite of the upright. In my experience, it has been signaling things like gossip, canceled plans, or just a general lack of harmony in a group. It could also mean maybe you’re overdoing it with the partying and need to take a step back. I have experienced these things. It’s kind of a bummer, but it wasn’t always a hard “no.”
My Conclusion
Based on my little experiment, I’d say the “3 of Cups reversed” is more of a “no” or at least a “not right now” or “there might be some problems” kind of vibe. It’s not necessarily the end of the world, but it’s definitely a sign to be cautious and maybe rethink your plans or expectations.
Anyway, that’s my two cents on the matter. Tarot is weird and confusing, but it’s also kind of cool. Maybe I’ll do some more readings and see what else I can learn. Peace out!
