Evelyn88 Hello, Hello! Hah, noob here, ok I'll be your guide, or whatever. So why do some people look at the innocent 3 of Cups and immediately shout "infidelity"? It's like calling a fluffy bunny a ferocious dragon-doesn't make sense.
Tarot usually celebrates good times, friendships, and general merriment, but somewhere along the line the 3 of Cups picked up this weird reputation as the cheating card. Maybe it started from a dramatic game of tarot poker or someone misreading the tea leaves over a cuppa. Or maybe someone just had an overactive imagination and decided to spice up the deck with scandal.
Anyhow, don't panic. The 3 of Cups is far more likely to be waving a flag for friendship and celebration than pointing at betrayal. Life's too short to jump to conclusions faster than a caffeinated kangaroo.
So raise a glass to laughter, good company, and the occasional misreading. Cheers to you, querent, for questioning the odd little lore that pops up around cards like this.
