Ace of Cups Tarot Card Meaning

Ace of Cups Upright Meaning

As with all ace cards, it symbolizes the first card in a journey. You might feel an abundance of joy and compassion, even ambition in your personal life and relationships. Perhaps you have met somebody you see as an intellectual equal and you look forward to expanding alongside them (this might be romantic or otherwise). Your new ideas are likely to be successful when this card is in a spread. Your spirituality and awareness may have moved to the forefront of your mind, perhaps you are opening yourself to a new idea or concept and this is filling you with happiness and contentment. A huge cup of opportunities is being offered to you and you are invited to reach out and grasp it with both hands.

Ace of Cups Reversed Meaning

Instead of feeling an immense amount of love and compassion for others, perhaps you are feeling this towards yourself. Self-love is an integral part of life and allows us to function on a higher plane of existence, and get in touch with our intuition. You should never feel guilty for practicing a little self-love. However, the ace of Cups, in reverse, might show a blockage. You struggle to let yourself show emotions and instead hold them inwards. Perhaps you see a display of emotions as a weakness, rather than the honest expression it is. Reversed, this card calls upon you to let those emotions go and you’ll feel freer than ever for doing so. Once you’ve removed these blockages, you can reach out and get in touch with that intuition.
