An Introduction to Cups Meanings and Interpretations

Ace of Cups

The suit of Cups in general relates to people who are emotional, often loving, and uplifting. It doesn’t have to be people but can refer to things instead.

Cups are generally associated with the element of water, and thus, astrologically associated with the signs of Cancer, Pisces, and Scorpio.

Not only do Cups relate to love and lovers, but also to any emotion even those generally considered negative, as well as to brotherly love, and to the confusion that emotions in general can create for most of us at certain times.

Cups relationships do not always involve other people – a reading with a series of cups can have to do with a need for self-love, self-development, self-esteem, and so on. In other words, your relationship with yourself.

Having said that Cups generally signify the most spiritual and the most loving aspects of the minor arcana.
