Ace of Cups

Additional deck interpretation:

The Ace of Cups points you towards a path where your heart, intuition and emotions begin emerging as you continue your journey through the seventy-eight passageways of growth.

This is the level on your continuous cycle of change where you receive a spiritual awakening in the form of the "Gift of Water". Your intuition and emotions come alive and your feelings begin to blossom. Your heart feels the initial stirrings of desire for a relationship.


The Ace of Cups brings you into the “Waxing Phase of the Moon" and the time of growth. The Aces are the "Controlling Cards" in my deck and control your path and relate to where you are headed - into a new beginning.

The energy of this Cup manifests into the birth of opening your heart and the awakening of your intuition, emotions and feelings.

This card is also associated with a turning point of change when something might fall into your lap that you did not expect, something that brings you into a new beginning that comes freely and without struggles.

Numerical Number 1: The Ace of Cups is enumerated one, the start of a cycle. This is the time when a seed is ready to sprout related to the birth of opening your heart, the awakening of your intuition, emotions and feelings that will sprout and grow into something beautiful.

The Element of Water: The Ace of Cups is related to the angelic elemental qualities of water (Archangel Gabriel).

The elemental qualities of water are also associated with the combination of the Moon in Cancer (devoted), Pluto in Scorpio (deep intense desires), and Neptune in Pisces (inner knowledge from your intuition).


Probable Outcome: Something beautiful is about to unfold, a spiritual awakening of energy that manifests into opening your heart and the awakening of your intuition, emotions and feelings.

You might experience a new beginning that is associated with an impending life change such as: falling in love; having a busy social life; rekindling an existing relationship; finding a new love interest; experiencing fertility, conception, childbirth, an engagement, marriage, the adoption of a child; having psychic abilities open up.

Or perhaps you might receive a lot of happy news.

For a man, this might be the time when the sperm will meet the egg and you will create a new life. For a woman, you might experience a pregnancy.

Possible Outcome: Your heart may be pulling on you to stay in a relationship, but your head might be telling you to move on.

Or something might be falling away from you that you did not expect. If something is falling away from you, then you are experiencing a relationship loss, separation, divorce, or you have decided to move on because the relationship was not fulfilling, or lacked commitment.

For a man, this might be the time when you are not ready to let the sperm will meet the egg and create a new life. For a woman, you might experience delays with getting pregnant.

Then again, you might not be able to channel the Ace of Cup's energies into your life. If this is the case, then you are blocking a new beginning because you are not ready to accept a spiritual awakening and open your heart, listen to your intuition, or allow your emotions and feelings to blossom.

You might be in a phase of uncertainty and still have more planning to do before you are ready to kick start a new beginning.

Timing: The Ace Cups predicts that your intuition and emotional feelings are turned into action to live your dreams. This event may occur within 1-11 days or during the Waxing Phase of the Moon.
