✦ Upright Meaning

Three figures dance in a circle, cups raised in celebration. This card is about friendship, community and joyful gatherings — good news best shared with the people who matter.

✦ Reversed Meaning

Reversed, it can mean overindulgence, a friendship strained by gossip or a third wheel, or celebrating alone when you'd rather not be.
