The Ace of Cups shows a hand holding a cup or chalice, which overflows with five jets of water. The hand appearing from the clouds represents our spiritual consciousness and energy. The hand radiates rays, a symbol of strength and inwardness. They reveal that you can always trust your inner feelings and heart. The five streams of water represent the abundance and power of the spirit and the effect of spiritual energy on our five senses. A dove carrying a small disc (or particle) in its mouth descends from above, signifying the embodiment and appearance of spirit in the material world. Below the hand is a large sea covered with lotus flowers, symbolizing the awakening of the human spirit.
This card represents the Grail, the Sacred Cup from which Spiritual Regeneration comes.
It is a symbol of great protection, as it reveals that a powerful spiritual force is at work.
Love and friendship are especially favored, as are any kind of creative or artistic project.
The Ace is linked to the number 1, so it represents a new beginning, or the conception of something, be it a new venture or a new human being.
In the Ace of Cups card, there is a hand emanating from the clouds holding out a cup, as if offering the plaintiff to take a drink. This cup is overflowing with sparkling water that symbolizes pure, unadulterated emotion. If you accept this offer, drinking from this cup will surely bring you emotional and spiritual fulfillment.
The cup has five streams of water overflowing from the rim. These five streams represent the power of intuition and show the importance of listening to your inner voice. To achieve the kind of emotional or spiritual fulfillment that is depicted in the Ace of Cups, the querent will have to follow this inner voice and stay true to it, regardless of the situation. This will require emotional discipline, but the rewards this can bring are hinted at within the card itself: overflowing joy and happiness.
The Ace of Cups represents the arrival of love, happiness and compassion. It can indicate the beginning of a new relationship, be it friendship or romance. The water depicted in the card reflects the flow of emotions, so the Ace of Cups indicates that the positive emotions and energy between the two people will be unique and intense. It indicates the kind of relationship that leads to feeling “butterflies in the stomach” and the happiness of having finally found a “special” person. There will also be significant chances of success if one has to forgive someone or oneself. It will be a good time to put aside anger and find peace.
The Ace of Cups is also creative expression, particularly when there is a chance to let your emotions shine through. You are very open to inner feelings and their sharing with others. You may be inspired to start a new creative project, take an art class, or in interpretive dance. You are at that point in life where you are comfortable with yourself and your emotional side and are not afraid to express it to others. This is a good time to give and give ourselves a new opportunity to help others. You will also find that the more you give, the more you receive.
The Ace of Cups often indicates fertility, meaning conception, pregnancy or childbirth. Looking at nearby cards we will have confirmation that there is indeed a possibility of new life (usually the Empress and the Knave of Cups). On a more metaphorical level, there may be the “birth” of a new idea or inspiration. It may represent the beginning of a project in which a great deal of loving and creative energy has been invested.
When the Ace of Cups is upside down, the image here is clearer–the waters pour out of the cup, it becomes empty, the gift of its waters is wasted. To see the Ace of Cups upside down during your reading means that you have endured emotional instability or pain for some time. There is a loss that is indicated here, and perhaps something that meant a lot to you is no longer giving you the joy it once had.
Since the cups also govern creativity, you may also be experiencing some sort of creative blockage, and where the waters of inspiration once flowed, they have now dried up.
In all these cases you must examine who or what is in control of the cup-which part allowed it to topple over? What can be done to put it back?
