Minor Arcana · Kupa Sekiz
Movement and mastery in emotion, relationship and intuition.
Upright: water, emotion, relationship and intuition
Reversed: blocked, excess
A man of dejected aspect is deserting the cups of his felicity, enterprise, under-taking or previous concern.
The card speaks for itself on the surface, but other readings are entirely antithetical—giving joy, mildness, timidity, honour, modesty. In practice, it is usually found that the card shews the decline of a matter, or that a matter which has been thought to be important is really of slight consequence—either for good or evil.
Great joy, happiness, feasting.
