Today's Card: Ace of Cups

The Ace cards are associated with the number one which, by a numerological standpoint, are associated with new beginnings, with the start of new ideas or concepts (or even a relationship or aspects of one), the spark of new chances and all the excitement and wonderment that goes along with it. It is the drive to take that first step, to follow those dreams and how to go about it. In some cases, and depending on the question at hand, ones can represent a birth (physical or not), or a rebirth of some kind. When paired with the emotional aspect of Cups which are connected to the element of Water, you have the Ace of Cups.

When the Ace of Cups arrives in a reading, you can be assured of good things on the emotional, creative and even spiritual level. Aside from the typical assocations with love, romance and marriage, the Ace of Cups can herald the beginning of positive changes in many aspects of your life. It can also signal changes, a rebirth if you will, of your inner being, of your connection with your soul and how you perceive the Divine. This might be a time of soul searching or reflection where you are examining (or re-examining) your spiritual beliefs and what may or may not relate to what you have been lead to believe, or what you have followed in the past. Because of Cups correlation with the element of water, this card can also signal the sparks of creative ideas. If you have been facing a writer's block (or similar), you may find that the obstacles have been lifted and that new concepts, visions and inspirations will come easier now.
