Ace of Cups

The suit of Cups corresponds to the element of Water — emotions, relationships, intuition, and the subconscious. The Ace of Cups shows a hand emerging from a cloud, holding an overflowing chalice. Five streams pour into a lily-filled pool, and a dove descends bearing a communion wafer. Upright, it signals new love, emotional awakening, compassion, creative flow, and spiritual abundance. Open your heart. Reversed, it warns of emotional loss, blocked feelings, emptiness, or repressed love.
