Meaning of Ace of Cups
The Ace of Cups is the heart opening: an overflowing cup from which water pours, a symbol of pure emotion and budding love. It announces a new feeling, a relationship, a reconciliation or a spiritual awakening. It is an invitation to receive and to let yourself feel without fear.
“I open my heart and receive the love that life offers me.”
