The Suite of Cups
Cups resonate with the emotional aspects of our lives, and are also allied with the creative arts. There is a temptation to see Cups as cards of love, and whilst this can indeed be the case, it is not always true. After all, not all emotions are connected to love, for example receiving a parking ticket is hardly going to fill your heart with the warmest of human emotions. So, yes The suite of Cups can signify love, but they can also suggest sorrow, anger, jealousy, happiness, fear or desire. Cups may also suggest that the subject’s intuition is working well and that they would be wise to listen to their inner voice. They can also imply that the subject is particularly creative.
Character
Cups are associated with the Water signs, Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces. These personalities are sensitive, emotional, romantic and sensual, although they may be rather clingy and vulnerable. Cups can also describe people with mid to light brown hair.
Cups in a Reading
If there are a large number of Cups in a tarot reading, it suggests that the subject is about to experience some powerful emotions. However, it is important to remember that feelings are not objective, so the true situation may not always reflect what the subject feels. When dealing with Cups, take a look at the next most numerous suite to see if the subject is interpreting the situation accurately. If the Cups are generally positive and appear in an upright position, the subject is likely to be in a positive frame of mind. On the other hand, inverted cards or less cheerful cards such as the Four or Five of Cups, would suggest the subject is in a less cheery state of mind.
