The Ace of Cups Tarot Meaning
The Ace of Cups is the beginning of the cups cycle. It is the catalyst for a journey through emotional and intuitive processes. When we receive the Ace of Cups, it can appear as an emotional breakthrough or a push by your intuition in a particular direction. It offers up the opportunity to explore your emotions, intuitions and even creativity in greater depth or from a new angle.
This card represents our raw emotional capabilities. It can symbolise our vulnerability, our emotional well-being and our connection with our own intuition. As an Ace card, the Ace of Cups is the new beginning of all of those things, a fresh start from which to build something new that will benefit you on a deeper level.
The Ace of Cups can also suggest a block in connecting to the emotional self. It can bring our awareness to how we tap into our emotions, how we process them and feel them and the role they play within how we think and behave. It can show us when there is a healthy flow or when we may be preventing ourselves from feeling or trusting the self, resulting in things such as apathy, depression or feeling disconnected.
