Ace of Cups…
Today’s card is the Ace of Cups. Now before I go into my interpretation, let me tell you a little about Cups. Cups is a suit in the minor arcana bit of the deck, which generally refers to happenings with the heart, emotions and relationships. I can without doubt say that the fact that I think a lot about relationships is also manifesting itself into the cards.
Now to the card itself. In the Waite deck, it shows a ‘godly’ hand holding a cup from which water issues forth in all four directions. There is also a dove that has a biscuit. It looks alot like the Holy Grail. But in the gothic deck, the card shows an ornate goblet with rubies encrusted near the rim. The colors are shades of black and red.
From my very sketchy reading and knowledge of Aces in general, I think it means the beginning or potential for love and intimacy. Perhaps a new friend or romance. Perhaps me opening up to someone new, or to someone I was distant before. Is that happening right now? Perhaps.
What does the book say? Wow. Pretty much the same. Although I like the line “Contentment, joy and abundance, harmonious home life, health, nourishment, a new relationship, truth in love“. Perhaps it could also mean that because it’s the weekend and I’m relaxing, I will be ‘nourished’ and ‘healthy’. hehe…
