Okay then... What Card Am I?
"Dance, dance, wherever you may be..
I am the Lord of the Dance said he!"
What a beautiful summer's day...
How can anybody not be happy and carefree on a day like this?
My friends are with me,
And we've worked hard to prepare the picnic we've bought with us.
Now we're gonna enjoy the sun, the fun, and the picnic,
And just... Relax.
Cheers!

Gloria has it: The 3 of Cups.
Obviously, the women in nearly all depictions of this card are dancing, hance the couplet from one of my fave songs, 'Lord of the Dance'.
The 3 of Cups I feel accompanies that feeling you get whilst walking along the banks of a beautiful river on a Summer's day... School's out, and you've got the whole Summer to be free, without any cares...
But something had to happen before that in order for you to feel that way. You had to work quite hard before you could finally relax like that. For me, this is the card which epitomizes exam results day, which you get at GSCE, AS and A-level (Those are the ones I've been through so far.) You've worked hard during the exams, and then you've worried about how you did in the exams, and then you get the results... And as long as you've put the work in, you've got good results. You've got the Summer to celebrate and look forward to what you're gonna do with those results, be with your friends, socialise etc... And with the A-levels there is also the added extra of that Summer being the last truly carefree time in your life. It is the last Summer before you have to move away to Uni, start a proper life, look after yourself, earn money in order to pay bills, etc...
The picnic represented the hard work, and the enjoyment of the rewards. The fact that there are friends in the description points to the more trditional interpretation of this card as parties, christenings, weddings, and social occassions within the family.
Over to you, Gloria!
Kiama
