Kabbalistically, the Ace of Cups – or Number 1 – of Cups symbolizes the pure essence of Water: intuition, emotion, the astral world, and the subconscious mind. In traditional numerology, this number is attributed to the life-giving, divine fire of the Sun. All aces also symbolize new beginnings. |

ACE OF CUPS DESCRIPTION
The white dove, a symbol of divine love, descends from the heavens on the Ace of Cups to lower a round wafer stamped with an equal armed cross into a golden chalice. This chalice is presented to you by a hand emerging from a cloud. The message, the messenger, and the receiver are all divine.
Water is a symbol for the astral world, the meeting place of spirit and experience. The fact that five streams are pouring from the cup signifies that the divine inspiration received here will manifest itself physically through our five senses.
26 drops of water hover above the waters below. This is the numerical value of the Hebrew word Yud-Heh-Vav-Heh (God), a “formula” that also symbolizes the process of creation. There are also 26 letters in the English alphabet, meaning that abstract ideas are in the process of becoming words.

REVERSED ACE OF CUPS
|
If the Ace of Cups card is reversed the universe is only telling you to cool your jets. No matter how tense things may seem or how much you’re bubbling over with excitement over some good news, you need to chill out for a moment.
Note how the waters in the Ace of Cups appear to be the source of the five streams. Acknowledge your feelings, but don’t allow them to carry you away. The dewdrops of inspiration are still floating toward the waters of your subconscious. It doesn’t matter which way the Ace of Cups card is facing. They will always end up where they’re supposed to. When the Ace of Cups is reversed, the universe is drawing your attention to things you wouldn’t otherwise notice. The reversed Ace of Cups is a positive omen, but in general, you may be feeling a bit stuck. Know that with your time and attention, you can resolve most blockages. General: Look at where you feel some blockages in life and consider how you might act to remove those blocks and get the energy flowing again. Try to understand what is causing those blockages so that you can do something positive and constructive about them. Think it through thoroughly before taking action. Work: Work should be going well. If you are looking for new employment or trying to make a change, you should see some signs of progress in weeks to come, although not immediately. Hang in there. Love: The reversed Ace of Cups is not a bad omen, but it can indicate that things aren't quite where they need to be for your love life to really thrive. Look at yourself, first. Have you truly dealt with everything necessary to allow you to live life with an open heart? If you're in a love relationship, it may not be one that is best for you. Think about what you really want and need in life. |

Finances: You may have an emotional bond with your work which is not serving you well personally now. Are you staying in an unhappy job situation because you have feelings for the people/persons involved? Take a moment to consider what you want and need. Change is not always bad.
Health: The reversed Ace of Cups tells you that your health, in general, is probably pretty good and maybe likely to take a turn for the better. Self-esteem and self-love can be important predictors of health.
