A tarot student once asked, “What does it mean if the majority of the cards in my tarot spread show the suit of cups?”
“It’s important to drink from the cup of love,” was my reply.
A different answer to this question can involve exploring the meaning of the specific cards in the layout. However, this question could also be answered by examining the the meaning of the symbols on the suit of cups. What are the cups communicating to us?
Traditionally, the suit of cups most often involves love, passion, and relationships. It’s identified with the element water, the emotions, depth of feelings, receptivity, imagination, the intuition, and the subconscious. When there is a predominance of the suit of cups in a tarot spread, its message involves a watery or emotional inquiry. It visually shows the importance of discussing your client’s heart-felt needs and puts their longings and desires in the limelight. Even if the topic of romance isn’t the main question being asked, the person receiving the reading may need to get more in touch with their feelings and the truth of what’s affecting their inner reality. Listening to feelings can play a strong role in decision making.
A majority of this suit in a spread can indicate that life experiences are triggering emotional reactions. If the cards are mostly upright and illustrate positive or heart happy images such as we mostly find on the ace of cups, I might ask my client if he or she is falling in love or seeking advice about an on-going relationship. When most of the cup cards in the spread are reversed, I may ask whether a relationship is in conflict or if there is tension invoked by emotional concerns. Is the person who is getting the reading suffering from the pain of loss, focusing on a past relationship, or quarreling with a significant other?
During the discussion of the potential meaning of the cup cards, it will become obvious if the person is anxious or secure, a victim or victor in love, and how you can best nourish your client’s sense of well-being. While viewing the spread to explore the path of the inner self, it may become possible to dive into the sea of the subconscious mind and find truths buried under the surface of conscious awareness. Most often, a key to unveiling the message of this suit is to inwardly question, “What are you presently drinking from the cup of love?”
Wishing you joy,

With the cosmic, current Pluto retrograde that has started May 4 in Aquarius, the sign of humanity’s brother and sisterhood, it’s possible to unexpectedly meet your shadow and wonder what direction to take in order to keep your mind and body moving in harmony with your soul sense of self. Don’t be surprised if you find your personal evolution accelerating during this retrograde that continues until October 13th, 2025.
Or, perhaps you may feel a larger than normal emotional overload, and begin a new search into the inner recesses of unknown subconscious territories. Practicing meditation or doing yoga, can help you feel more centered and secure within. Also, thinking about activities that benefit your well-being can inspire you to sense and trust your intuition and connect with your inner essence.
For me, my love for star gazing has me checking out the location and aspects among the planets to better understand life and my current emotions. But, whatever choices you and I may be facing, it’s only possible to move forward one breath at a time. In relation to life being unpredictable, a favorite meditation for our trying but enlightened times is simple: Breathe in love, breathe out fear…repeat, and continue to repeat while holding the intention that you are moving forward on your path.
Also, with our warming weather in the Northern hemisphere, it becomes easier to stay grounded by doing activities connected with Mother Nature, like walking in the sunshine, visiting water fronts, and letting love rule our personal sense of what’s coming around the next corner.
Wishing you radiant light and love,
Kooch
