Fourteen cards, Ace to King, for water: feelings, relationships, intuition and what you care about. Cups tend to show up when a question is really about how something feels rather than how it looks.
Cups
Emotions, relationships, intuition, and compassion.
The numbered cards follow the life of a feeling: the Ace is an opening, the Two a connection, the Five a loss that still leaves something standing, the Ten a sense of home. The court cards show emotional styles — the dreamy Page, the romantic Knight, the attuned Queen, the steady King.
Many Cups in a spread put relationships and inner life at the center. Reversed, a feeling is usually held back, turned inward or out of balance rather than absent — worth asking what is not being said.
