Ace of Cups Tarot Card Meaning

Minor Arcana, suit of Cups

open heart, new feeling, tenderness

The card

A hand reaches from a cloud holding a cup that overflows in five streams into a pond of water lilies below. A dove descends toward the cup carrying a small wafer. The card offers a fresh opening of the heart, a new love, friendship or tenderness, and invites you to receive it as freely as it pours.

Upright meaning

A new feeling overflows: love, compassion or creativity is offered and ready to be received.

Reversed meaning

Feelings are blocked or held back, or affection is offered and not returned.
