Joy as Medicine & Sacred Sisterhood
By TMLD

We often treat joy like a reward. Something we have to earn or postpone until we’ve fixed everything. But the Three of Cups reminds us that joy is part of healing not the absence of pain, but the presence of connection.
The energy of the Three of Cups arrives when it’s time to remember the beauty of shared presence.
It honors the power of chosen family, soul friendships, and the moments that lift our spirits without needing explanation.
It asks:
Where can I let joy be part of my healing?
What friendships or supports have I been neglecting?
Can I let myself be seen in celebration, not just in struggle?
You are not meant to do this alone.
Let yourself be held. The Three of Cups isn’t about constant celebration, it's about emotional reciprocity.
It's the friend who brings laughter after tears. The phone call that feels like coming home.The sacred container where you're allowed to be messy and magnificent. Let this card remind you that healing can happen around a table, in a shared moment of joy, or in laughter that rises from the soul.
