A hand appears from a cloud, holding a large cup as if in offering to the viewer. Water may be overflowing the sides of the cup. There may also be a dove hovering over the cup.
The cups suit is the emotional force in your life. When you see the Ace of Cups upright in a reading, there is a lot of positive energy around you to start something new, especially when it comes to relationships. It doesn’t necessarily mean a romantic one. It could be referring to any heartfelt connection, like a friendship. Also, the relationship itself doesn’t have to be a new one. "When I see this ace, I know that you have or will have a great love in your life," says our Psychic Nancy. "I would see you in love or falling in love with someone soon. I would also encourage you to let your feelings show and get rid of any negativity with your (potential) significant other. You may also have to forgive and forget in certain situations." The energy offered by the Ace of Cups can indicate a new, more positive phase in a long-standing relationship too.
