What the card shows

Three covered cups are set one above and two below, linked by scrolls with red stems and pale leaves. The stems trace an open triangle.

Its light

What is lived together leaves a trace: the bond gains consistency, is recalled and passed on, and the circle grows wider without effort.

Its shadow

The circle can close in: the group's opinion takes the place of yours, and you say yes to stay inside. What is shared becomes an obligation.

Notes on the symbolism

Symbolism TdM. The three breaks the symmetry of the two: instead of facing each other, the cups now spread over two different levels.

What this card invites you to do

Create the occasion rather than hoping for it. Tell the important people that they are, as long as it is said simply.
