Suit of Water and emotions, the Cups govern affective life, intuition, relationships and the inner life. They invite us to navigate with sensitivity through the ocean of feelings.
The Cups speak to us about our emotional life and the relationships we have with others.
"The heart has its reasons that reason ignores," Blaise Pascal tells us… In fact, emotions and reason are frequently presented as the great opposing principles of human consciousness. What if we were both at the same time?
In a reading, the romantic and loving aspects are frequently placed at the centre of interpretations associated with the Cups. But when they appear, they first invite us to contemplate our emotional state and evaluate the health of our relationships.
The world of emotions is complex. It encompasses joy, sadness, fear, anger, trust, disgust, surprise and anticipation. And when our emotions are recombined, they weave a subtle web of feelings and resentments that we do not necessarily perceive with clarity.
Emotional intelligence is a recent field in the understanding of intelligence. The Cups invite us to access it — to build harmonious relationships… and in full consciousness.
