The advice
Take seriously whatever moved you, even if it doesn't make practical sense yet.
A young person in a flowered tunic looks in surprise at a fish that appears inside the cup they hold. Behind them, a rippling sea: the unexpected came from the depths and they found it funny.
Page of Cups upright
A message from the heart is arriving: an invitation, a declaration, news that moves you. It is also the card of the naive creative impulse: the idea that came from nowhere, the urge to write, draw, feel. Sensitivity without armor, and that is a strength.
In love
A sweet, unexpected interest, an affectionate note, someone shy drawing closer.
In work and money
A fresh creative idea, an invitation to an artistic project, or a beginning in which you are the apprentice.
In your inner life
Imagination opening up again. It's worth writing down dreams and noticing the things that make you want to cry.
The shadow
Taking everything personally. Sensitivity without a filter is exposed to every wind.
Page of Cups reversed
The emotion is out of proportion to the facts. Touchiness, drama over little things, or the opposite: a creative block and a wish to feel that finds no way out. The reversed Page also shows up as someone emotionally immature, yourself or another.
In love
Games, immaturity, a message misread, or an affection that doesn't mature.
In work and money
Stalled creativity, criticism taken to the extreme, trouble receiving feedback.
In your inner life
Sensitivity right at the surface. Reduce the stimulation before drawing conclusions about your life.
The shadow
Using emotion to get attention. It works in the short run and wears out the people nearby.
