Suit of Cups Tarot Card Meanings
Cups are the element of Water, and are the emotional aspect of the suits. They represent relationships, feelings and all areas of the emotional realm. They also relate to those things that we just know through psychic and gut feelings. The Cups have links to the astrological signs of Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces, therefore the court cards represent the characteristics of people born under these signs.
When many cards from the suit of Cups show in a reading, it is most likely that the question is either relating to relationships and emotions or that an emotional approach is being taken/is needed, depending on the position of the cards, to the situation being asked about. Often the cards can be reminding us that we need to look at our dreams and deepest hopes, or the exact opposite when we seem to have lost our grip on reality.
