Cups Tarot Cards and Meanings

Cups are the water suit, and they hold the emotional side of life: love, friendship, family, intuition, imagination and the moods that come and go like weather. The cards are full of rivers, seas, fountains and cups raised, offered, spilled or ignored. When a Cups card turns up, the question is less about what is happening and more about how you feel about it.

The suit runs from the Ace, a heart filling up, through the first date of the Two and the party of the Three, to the regret of the Five, the dreamy choices of the Seven and the walk away of the Eight, ending with the rainbow over a happy home in the Ten. Many readers turn to Cups first for questions about love and about how someone feels.
