Ace of Cups聖杯王牌
The suit of Cups belongs to water: feelings, relationships, intuition and the inner life.
Upright meaning
New tenderness or emotion is welling up. Open your heart, and both give and receive kindness.
Something to do today
- Show sincere care to someone close to you.
Reversed meaning
You may not want to open up right now, or you may be overlooking your own feelings. Be gentle with yourself first so feelings have room to flow.
Something to do today
- Write down how you truly feel right now, without judging it.
Love, work and health
Love
Upright: New love or a deep stirring of the heart is near, or tenderness returns to a relationship. Open up and let yourself feel it.
Reversed: Your heart is still closed, or you are holding back what you really feel. Look after your own heart first so love can flow in.
Work and career
Upright: Doing what you love feels especially rewarding; good for creative work, serving people or work you care about.
Reversed: Work feels empty and your enthusiasm is gone. Find one small thing that gives you a sense of achievement and reconnect with why you started.
Health and wellbeing
Upright: Your mood is easy and your body relaxes with it. Drink plenty of water, take a bath and let yourself be cared for.
Reversed: Pent-up feelings may disturb your sleep or appetite. Find an outlet, such as writing it down or talking with a friend.
Health readings are everyday reminders, not medical advice; if you feel unwell, see a doctor.
