3 of Cups Reversed
While the upright Three of Cups is a card of friendship and social events, the reversal of this card suggests that you would prefer to go it alone right now.
You may have recently spent a lot of time with others and now just need some alone time. Or perhaps you are no longer ‘clicking’ with some of your friends or a social group and are ready to move on.
Or sometimes, you might find yourself on the ‘outer’, excluded from other people’s circles and feeling isolated and alone.
Honor your desire to step out of the social scene for a while and enjoy this time by yourself so you can get clear on who you most want to connect with in the future.
