I'm aware that this card symbolizes a union, romance, or close friendship. Regarding feelings, could it imply experiencing an instant connection, a sense of clicking with someone exceptionally well? Would it lean more towards romance or friendship? Personally, I view the 3 of Cups as more of a friendship card, but that's just my perspective.

I would love to hear your thoughts 😉

    I agree with you, but I also think it depends on the card spread you use to determine whether it's more "romantic" or "friendship" based. For me, one of the meanings of the card is being intimately connected to someone, fostering a close friendship and romantic connection. It also signifies feeling naturally at ease with the person—where conversations flow effortlessly. Even if you don't share many common interests, you still feel comfortable in their company, which speaks volumes about the ease and naturalness of being with that person.

    Trust me, as someone as awkward as I am, even if I have a lot in common with someone, it's hard for me to engage in conversation. So, being with someone with whom I share little in common and yet feel comfortable talking at length says a lot.

    Hope that helps❣ 🙂

      For me, this card represents mutual admiration or attraction. When two people with cups face each other, they are offering their emotions to the other, indicating a connection of the heart. The caduceus symbol on top spirals down, illustrating that when two cups merge, emotional exchange occurs, and the hearts beat as one. Please check the surrounding cards for more details and clarity.

      I perceive it as mutual feelings, respect, and admiration. The interpretation can vary depending on the surrounding cards. For instance, if the Two of Cups is next to the Four of Wands, I would say it indicates a romantic connection. If paired with the Three of Cups, I would interpret it as a sign of friendship. When alongside the Emperor, I might consider it more platonic. The combination of the Two of Cups and Ace of Cups would likely suggest a romantic connection. 🤔✨

        Indeed, I sense a strong connection here. In certain decks, there are orbs or strokes of energy that link the two individuals depicted in the card, further emphasizing the connection. So, in terms of feelings, it would imply having a robust bond, possibly even when physically apart.

        Well, I've always thought it had to do with reciprocated love as well. However, after searching the forum, I found many people saying it was just friendship unless the Ten of Cups was present or another typical relationship card, for example.

        Personally, I still associate it with romance. My current deck takes a more romantic approach to the card. If we focus on the imagery, they look like a couple toasting to each other. I have to say I fully agree with you on this one, but everybody has different viewpoints, I suppose. 🙂

        I agree; there's a certain type of understanding between the two, extending beyond words—perhaps a silent understanding. The union represented by the 2 of Cups, to me, signifies someone you feel could be your soulmate, the complementary other half to yourself. This concept is somewhat akin to The Lovers card, with the idea of two polarities, male and female, and so forth.
