Cups — Emotion, Love & Relationships

Cups are the suit of Water — emotion, love, intuition and relationships. When Cups appear, the reading turns to the heart. Lots of Cups means feelings and connections are at the centre of your situation.

The flow of Water

Cups speak to how we feel and relate — new love, friendship, grief, contentment. They favour emotional openness and connection, but can also warn of illusion, dependence or dwelling on loss.

From Ace to King

The Ace is a new wellspring of feeling; the numbers move through partnership, celebration, loss and fulfilment; the court cards show sensitive, caring people and the maturity of emotion.
