From the Cups come the waters of life: our emotions. Representations of the sea and fish connect this suit to other water cards from the Major Arcana, like Temperance and the Moon. The Cups flow from the overflowing fountain of the Ace of Cups to resolution with the masterful King of Cups. A call to focus on Cups can be a relief, as the Cups family represent kindness, gentleness, self-expression and self-control. Cups often bring generous gifts, though they may be unexpected. The Cups also need balance to prevent confusion and overwhelm. Look to the Swords or Wands to help channel Cups energy.
