Realize what it is you're striving for or what you want to represent and know the supply will meet the demand. Whatever you choose will be the right choice.

Three of Cups - Reversed Tarot Card Meanings

In relationship readings, the Three of Cups reversed nearly always indicates a third person is involved, and typically, it is the querent who is that third person. When you see this card in a reading, look to the other cards in the reading also - if you see the Seven of Swords, there is a likely betrayal of trust and getting away with something; if you see the Five of Swords, it is likely that the querent already knows about the other relationship but is trying to ignore that it exists; if you see the Devil, think carefully about the nature of the relationships - they are likely to be hedonistic and generally unhealthy to those involved.

Alternatively, the reversed Three of Cups can indicate that creativity is being stifled and instead you are being forced to conform.
