Ace of Cups 

​

​

​

The Aces in the tarot deck signify new beginnings and a powerful spark of energy that creates a chain of events that could lead to positive changes. It is a gift from the universe that must be grasped for it to manifest into reality. Take action and make the correct steps towards your goals whilst focusing on the end result.

 

The Aces also represent number 1 in numerology, which relates to the conscious mind, independence and confidence. It symbolises the ability to initiate projects and see them through to completion.

​

The Ace of Cups represents matters of the heart, love, emotions and imagination. The cup offers a source of overflowing water to heal and comfort the mind, body and soul. Cups represent the element of water where we find deep emotions, relationship bonds, compassion and heart centred connections. Water nurtures and heals emotional wounds.

 

When The Ace of Cups shows up, it signifies joy, happiness, and a whole contented heart. Relationships are strengthened with mutual love and affection, and friendships are bonded with authentic displays of unconditional love and acceptance. It suggests that relationships are now blessed with a loving phase.

 

You are open to creativity, so now is an excellent time to embrace your authenticity. You carry the gift of empathy, which will help connect you with your higher self. You may feel your consciousness expanding, introducing new perceptions and visions. Inspirations may come through close relationships, in dreams, or born from our imagination.

 

Fulfilment and shared passion enhance relationships of all kinds. Your heart is open, which brings joyful and uplifting feelings. It can signify conception and the birth of a child. This card will attract positivity, but it’s up to you to keep it flowing. Share your love and gifts with the world.

Reversed

​

​

When this card is reversed, you could be feeling isolated and lonely. It may suggest you are struggling to express yourself or feel emotionally blocked or guarded.

 

A relationship may have lost its lustre, and you feel deprived of love and fulfilment. You may be experiencing an emotional upheaval suggesting aspects of your life need addressing. Be honest with yourself and ask if you are truly happy with your existing relationships?

 

If the cup has dried up despite efforts to open your heart, then you would be kinder to yourself to walk away. Then you can heal your emotional wounds and be open to love again.

 

The message here is to place self-care as a priority. Give the love and compassion you deserve to yourself and allow your mind, body, and soul to receive some much needed tender loving care.
