Page of Cups
The essential meanings of this Minor Arcana card from the Rider-Waite-Smith deck.
Upright: The Page of Cups upright is imaginative, gentle, and full of emotional curiosity. This card often signifies a message or news in the realm of feelings – such as a romantic offer, a heartfelt apology, or an intuitive insight. It can represent a person (maybe a sensitive child or a youthful adult) who is creative, kind, and open-hearted. Upright, the Page of Cups encourages you to embrace your imaginative, intuitive side. Be open to surprises, synchronicities, or creative opportunities that stir your emotions. It’s a card of happy news, daydreams, and artistic inspiration beginning to bud.
Reversed: The Page of Cups reversed might indicate emotional immaturity or a creative block. Perhaps someone is being childish with their feelings, or you’re ignoring your intuition. It could also be that you're expecting a message or apology that hasn't come, leaving you moody or insecure. In a reversed position, this card advises you to get in touch with your feelings rather than avoid them. Try to maturely express what you feel or find creative outlets for emotional release. If you've been overly fanciful or unrealistic, it’s also a hint to get your feet back on the ground and not let sensitive feelings lead you entirely astray.
