Page of Cups
Creative beginnings, intuitive message, curiosity.
Upright
The Page of Cups is the unexpected feeling. It speaks of creative beginnings, intuitive messages, curiosity and the openness to be surprised by your own heart — the fish in the cup. It can be a message of love, a new creative idea, a dream worth listening to, or a young person who sees things differently.
Reversed
Reversed, the feeling is being ignored or has become childish. It marks emotional immaturity, a creative block, bad news, or escapism. Take the fish seriously; it is trying to tell you something.
On the card
A young figure in a tunic patterned with lotus flowers stands on a shore holding a cup, and a fish looks out of it as if to speak. Waves roll behind.
In love
A sweet message, a tender new attraction, or a return of playfulness. Be open.
Moodiness, immaturity, or someone not ready. Do not read more into it than is there.
At work
A creative spark, an intuitive hunch about a project, a fresh perspective from someone junior.
Blocked, distracted, or letting feelings run the decision. Refocus.
As advice
Follow the strange idea. That is where the good stuff comes from.
Grow into the feeling instead of hiding in it.
