Page of Cups
Tender notice. A message of feeling, a dream, an artistic twitch. Receive the fish; do not yet write the novel of what it means.
- ELEMENT
- water
- NUMBER
- Court — receive: tender notice. A fish in a cup, the first strange feeling.
- MODE
- Receive — the news arrives
- SYMBOLS
- a young figure studying a cup from which a fish emerges, surprise as a teacher · a blue landscape of sea and sand, plenty of room for a first feeling · a lotus or water-lily somewhere in the dress, the suit's student uniform · a look of gentle astonishment, not of conquest
UPRIGHT
- +beginner's softness
- +news from the heart, a poem, an apology arriving
- +curiosity about one's own weather
- −oversensitivity as a trap
- −crushing on a projection
- −refusing to grow past the first wonder
- IN LOVE
- A shy approach, a sweet note, a crush. Let it be a page. Pages are not partners until they learn the rest of the suit.
- IN WORK
- An intuitive lead, a student of care or art. Protect the tenderness. Give it a craft.
- IN SELF
- Something in you is new and wet. Do not shame it for not being a king.
REVERSED
The fish is ignored, or the cup is all mood — blocked feeling, or a student of water who will not come ashore.
- Blocked — the upright current exists and is dammed.
- Excess — the current is overplayed.
- Internalized — the drama is inner rather than worldly.
Blocked Page of Cups will not read the heart's mail. Excess Page is uncontained feeling. Inner Page is a private dream still hatching.
