That's just it. I'm not sure how I see that card at the mo. I used to see it as two people coming together (romantically) to make a third entity (either marriage, a commitment to each other, a relationship, an engagement or even a child). The third cup (because I used to read Marseillaise) represented the new energy made by the couple uniting romantically. I even read on www.angelpaths.com that it means a very physical celebration of a relationship i.e. sex.
BUT I look at the image on the RW deck and I just see 3 women. That's not a couple (man & woman) uniting romantically, and producing an agreed commitment. It's just party-hearty... Unless those people are celebrating YOUR union...
Logically, it should be Ace Cups (new romantic feeling), Page Cups (recognition of feeling and wanting to verbalize it to the other), 2 Cups (2 people talking about/recognising their feelings for one another), 3 Cups (two people committing to one-another to create a relationship/marriage etc), 4 Cups (relationship stabilizing as a result and perhaps stagnating somewhat), 5 Cups (one part of the couple getting bored and voicing their opinion), 6 Cups (saying sorry perhaps with a gift & perhaps after some time), 7 Cups (do I take the gift or not?), 8 Cups (going totally in for the relationship and leaving current comfort behind OR leaving relationship for pastures new), 9 Cups (being happy within oneself, finding your bliss), 10 Cups (reaching the finish line, marriage, family relationships, home etc, logical conclusion but don't be too smug about it).
Looking at the image on the card, he could have seen me in a room full of women and thought "hmm that's a nice view" i.e. appreciating me along with the other women Although we know each other pretty well now.
It could also mean he thinks I am good company and wants to socialize with me :S
I could make him feel happy
I think it means our relationship will go/has gone (3rd position) beyond just reciprocal generosity and benevolence (6 Pents), onto a more personal footing (i.e. friendship/romance). But that still niggles, because which is it?!!! Friendship OR romance?
Perhaps it means he can't tell yet either...
I guess you have to back it up with more cards. In which case I did a separate spread asking whether he wants a relationship with me. Out came Lovers, Justice, King Cups... (I'll post it on Readings forum.).
