Ace of Cups

ace-of-cups tarot card

  • New love, emotional beginnings
  • An emotional offer worth accepting
In a reading: an emotional opportunity is opening up — let yourself receive it.

The Ace of Cups is your emotions overflowing — a hand reaching out, the cup running over, and a dove dropping the Eucharist into it from above. To me, that dove represents an action we have to take to make that cup overflow in the first place.

Sometimes this card comes up when you need to accept an emotional offer in your life so you can actually have it. Fun fact: the W shape on the card is believed to represent West, and even the dove is shaped like a W.
