Card Symbolism

The Page of Cups stands at the water's edge in a tunic decorated with flowers, holding a cup from which a fish emerges and seems to be addressing him. His expression is surprised and delighted. The fish — symbol of the unconscious, of the psychic realm, of what rises unexpectedly from the depths — has decided to make an appearance.

The Page of Cups is the beginner of the emotional realm: sensitive, intuitive, creative, with a natural openness to the imaginal and the psychic that has not yet been complicated by experience or defended by self-protection.

Upright Meaning

Upright, the Page of Cups brings emotional news, creative inspiration, psychic sensitivity, and the fresh, open heart of someone just beginning to explore the depth of their feeling life.

As a person: a gentle, sensitive, creative young person with natural emotional intelligence and possible psychic gifts. As an energy: the beginning of an emotional or creative journey with genuine innocence — the willingness to be surprised by what rises from the depths.

Messages about creative projects, emotional developments, or intuitive insights are all Page of Cups territory.
