Read over this list several times while trying to get a sense of the type of energies associated with the suit of Cups.
Generally, when there are many Cups cards in a reading, or Cups cards appear in important key placements within a spread of tarot cards, love or relationship situations are probably emphasized in that particular reading.
In the Rider – Waite Tarot deck the Cup resembles a large Chalice or Loving Cup.
Cups symbolize love and romance. Cups are symbols for the heart and therefore represent anything that has to do with emotions, love, caring, relationships, good-will, joy, desire, truth, honesty, giving, sharing, trust, commitment, romance, marriage and partnerships of all types.
Cups represent anything on the emotional plane, but can also represent the physical heart. Cups represent feelings, which can be both positive and negative. An example of positive feelings are love, joy and happiness while negative feelings could be depression, sadness, instability and vulnerability.
Cups also can indicate someone who is “sensitive” as in psychic, intuitive or impressionable.
Most musicians and artists will tend to have quite a few Cups in their reading due to their usually sensitive nature.
