Ace of Cups

Emotional beginnings and release await when the Ace upright appears in a reading. Often, it shows up as a reprieve after a drawn-out period of sorrow or hurt. The cup brims with pure emotions and intuition, signaling an invigorating phase ahead. You are invited to partake of this overflowing cup of pristine experiences – friendship, love, creativity, or good news at work – and live life to its fullest. Doing so will bring you deep fulfillment, but only if you first let go of the emotional wounds you have been carrying and fully open your arms to the possibilities.

With the Ace of Cups reversed, the water that once overflowed from it is now spilling out, risking it drying up. There is a lack of love, enthusiasm, motivation, and fulfillment, leading to an overall sense of emptiness. If you're currently facing a work quandary, it may indicate a creative block; in financial matters, support from others might be lacking. Its appearance prompts you to reflect on the nature of this reversal. Can you give yourself the motivation and love you seek from others? What can you do to turn the cup upright again?
