Guidance held with care, insight without haste
Cups
A hand offers a golden chalice from a cloud. Five streams of water spill over its rim into a pond of water lilies, and a white dove descends with a wafer in its beak. The heart is opened and overflowing. This is the seed of all feeling: new love, compassion, grace.
Your heart is opening. The Ace of Cups brings a new feeling, pure and strong: love beginning, a friendship, a wave of joy, or peace with yourself. Receive it. Do not ration your affection or protect yourself against being moved. What is offered now is a gift. Say yes to it, and let it flow on from you to others.
The cup is tipped over and the water runs out. Feelings are held in, love goes unreturned, or a heart has closed after being hurt. You feel empty or shut off. Emotion that finds no expression goes stale. Let yourself feel what is there, and fill your own cup before you offer it.
This is the beginning of love. If you are alone, a new relationship starts, tender and sincere. If you are with someone, feeling is renewed in a fresh closeness or a proposal. Open your heart without calculating. This is love in its clearest form.
Work that touches your heart: a new project or position you feel real enthusiasm for, or a creative gift waking up. There is good feeling among colleagues. Follow what moves you and let intuition guide your choices. Creative work, and work that helps people, thrives.
Yes. The heart overflows, and something loving begins.
