Upright
- Sensitivity
- Emotional message
- Imagination
- Surprise
- General
- A fish in the cup. A surprise of the heart, an intuition, a creative idea from nowhere. Sensitivity expressed with candor.
- Love & relationships
- A shy declaration, a tender message, a gentle and slightly dreamy person. The beginning of an attachment.
- Career & money
- An original idea, an unexpected offer, creative work. A small piece of pleasant news.
- Advice
- Listen to your intuition and emotions, even if they seem naive. They have something to say.
Reversed
- Emotional immaturity
- Touchiness
- Escape into fantasy
- Creative block
- General
- The fish dives back. Poorly managed emotions, touchiness, daydreaming instead of action, or an intuition one refuses to hear.
- Love & relationships
- A moody or overly fragile partner, childish expectations, an emotional message misread.
- Career & money
- A lack of seriousness, stalled creativity, an idea dropped at the first criticism.
- Advice
- Take your emotions seriously without letting them run everything. Growing up doesn't dull sensitivity.

How the card works
Cups (Water). Water is what we feel: love, friendship, dreams, nostalgia. Cups speak of the heart, of bonds between people, and of inner life.
Page. The apprentice: curiosity, a beginning, news arriving.
