Ace of Cups

Water · Cups
The Ace of Cups card from the Rider-Waite-Smith tarot

On the card

A hand offers an overflowing cup from a cloud, a dove descending with a wafer, five streams falling into a lily pond.

Upright

  • Openness
  • Feeling
  • Offer

Something is being offered and the cup is already running over. Traditionally the opening of feeling — it asks what you would have to put down to accept it.

Reversed

  • Closed
  • Spilled
  • Held back

Reversed, the offer is refused or goes to waste: feeling stopped at the mouth, or given somewhere it cannot be received.

About this deck

The artwork is the Rider-Waite-Smith tarot, drawn by Pamela Colman Smith to Arthur Edward Waite's direction and first published in 1909. It has passed into the public domain, which is why it can be shown here in full — but it is her work, and the reason this deck became the one nearly every other deck answers to.
