The Three of Cups in your reading

As with the Ace of Cups and the Two of Cups this card is about giving love unconditionally. In this case it is about your love for friends and family for whom you do not have any expectations. You put a large responsibility on the shoulders of someone else if you want them to fulfill your needs and hope they will give it to you. This responsibility should not be with them but with you. No one can fulfill what you hope to get. You will not get the love that you want so badly.

By focusing on what you expect you focus on what is not there. It is an illness that a lot of people suffer from. This card asks you to see what *is* there and to be happy with that. It teaches you gratitude. Learn how to be grateful and party when the first steps of manifestation happen and teach yourself not to focus on the end result. It is not about that result but what is happening now. When you keep focusing on what do not have you will stay in pain and keep hurting. Be grateful for the smallest things.

Say thank you for everything. For the flower in the garden and the cloud in the sky.

Learn how to party for something that hasn't happen yet. Parties make you happy. Be grateful for the feeling and create from that good feeling on. Have a positive feeling when you see in your minds eye what you are going to get. Creating something good from a bad feeling is impossible. So learn to feel good even what happens. If you are interested in the Law of Attraction then this is THE card for it.
