Should a Tarot reading be predominantly Cups cards, you are seeking solutions to what are primarily emotional conflicts, love matters and feelings.
The Suit of Cups is representative of the element of Water.
Water represents the subconscious, psychic awareness, intuitive feelings and the emotional realm.
Cups deal with the emotions and are associated with love, feelings, relationships and connections.
The Cups Tarot cards indicate that you are thinking with your heart rather than your head, and reflect your spontaneous responses and your habitual reactions to situations. Cups are also linked to creativity, romanticism, fantasy and imagination.
The people represented by the Suit of Cups are emotional, artistic, humane and creative. They are connected with their emotional selves and will draw energy from what they feel within. They are said to correspond to the water signs in the zodiac Pisces, Cancer, and Scorpio.
For timing, the Suit of Cups traditionally represents summer or the number of months. For example, the Three of Cups could represent either summer or a period of three months.
If using an ordinary deck of playing cards, Cups correspond to the Suit of Hearts.
The negative aspects of the Suit of Cups include being overly emotional or completely disengaged and dispassionate, having unrealistic expectations and fantasizing about what could be. There may be repressed emotions, an inability to truly express oneself and a lack of creativity.
