I am finding out that I don’t know Aces that well. So this one will be interesting to see as the day develops.
Aces are beginnings. Start of something new. The foundations. Cups are emotions, the unseen, creativity. Things from deep inside. Water overflows the Ace of Cups. There is abundance of love and compassion. New creative ideas coming forth. On the Robin Wood card a light emerges from the center of the cup, like sunrise. With light there’s clarity. When you see clearly what’s hidden within, you reach enlightenment.
With the card reversed, it can mean unable to start a new creative project, can’t get love started. Or maybe even weakness in the spiritual foundation? Speaking of foundation, I wonder if this has anything to do with The Tower in the weekly reading?
Note: 3:34pm. As it turned out, The Tower did have a huge influence today. I’ve contemplated on a couple issues that I thought could be what the card pointed to. But what happened earlier really hit me by surprise. I guess it’s difficult to avoid the ground-shaking, roof-shattering element of surprise that The Tower has. It was work related. Both my partner and I are quite shook up from the news. It’s life-changing and it demands a better look at things. But why Ace of Cups Reversed? I would think that Pentacles represent the situation better. Or maybe Wands. Can this be a warning to watch out for the emotional response? Maybe reality is not as troubled as the inner disturbances? Curious.
(Major arcana images grabbed from this Wikipedia page, minor arcana images from this page. I use Robin Wood Tarot which has different imagery. This is just to give you an idea of the card.)
