Three of Cups Reversed

Today's card is all about affairs, gossip, and the downsides of relationships, but I don't have any of these problems right now. I had a birthday yesterday and my friends and coworkers took me out for lunch, sent me well-wishes, laughed, played, and cheered. It was a great day. It was the upright three rather than reversed.

However, later today I have an appointment to get a booster shot, and I suspect it will make me tired, miserable, and anti-social for about 24-hours. That seems to be the pattern with these vaccinations, and is very reversed three of cups energy.

I'm writing this blog post now rather than after the shot, because who knows if I'll be up for it, or if I'll just want to sleep and grumble at people all afternoon. 

Upright, the three of cups is about platonic love, community, and friendship.

​Reversed, the friendships have gone sour. There may be peer pressure, gossip, or cancelled events. Alternatively, a partner might be having an affair, as in “three’s a crowd,” or a couple may have suffered a pregnancy loss.
