The difference between the 2 of Cups and the 3 of Cups in a relationship scenario is an interesting one. Rather than diving right into a locked-down, air-tight, breathless one-on-one commitment as suggested by the 2 of Cups (in the words of the Roxy Music song, "Face to face, toe to toe/Heart to heart . . ."), the 3 of Cups advises something a bit more open-ended, with a little more "breathing room." It strikes me as a better way to start a relationship, since the "L" word can stay in the background for a while. I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the old cliche about a threesome or "love triangle" here; personally, I almost never see it as applicable, but I know many do. However, in this regard, I might consider it as representing "complications" simply because Three is less linear than Two, implying less of a mutually reciprocal arrangement.
Hi Barleywine, thanks for your insights. I had the same feeling, a sort of a more "breathing room" bond and probably a more open-ended one, nothing too much serious probably anyway then time will tell.
