Ace of Cups

Ace of Cups — Minor Arcana, from The 1909 London Deck.

Upright

a new feeling, openness, offering

Something opens up emotionally — an offer, an attraction, a fresh start with real warmth in it. Take it at face value; this one is genuine.

In a yes or no reading, Ace of Cups upright answers yes.

Reversed

guardedness, a feeling held back, spilled

The feeling is there but not moving — either held back on purpose or poured out somewhere it was not received. Nothing is lost yet.

In a yes or no reading, Ace of Cups reversed answers maybe — the situation has not settled.

What this card does in a reading here

A reading draws one card and answers the question you asked with it. Ace of Cups can come up either way up — reversals are on in this deck, because the 1909 original was drawn with them in mind — and the two readings above are the starting point, not the answer. The answer depends on what you asked.
