Cups

Water and Feeling
Cups represents emotions, inner feelings and are in touch with the psychic sphere of existence. Desires, intuitive instincts and far-distant memory spring from the fluidity of their constantly shifting element, Water. Cups are receptive, reflective, contemplative and often deceptive. Their compassion for others can overwhelm and their concerns lie predominantly in the realms of fantasy, imagination, romance, relationships and affairs of the heart. Cups can imply religious or artistic leanings.
