Page of Cups
A whimsical youth dressed in an ornate tunic patterned with water lilies stands along a churning, undulating shoreline. He holds a single golden chalice aloft, looking at it with amusement as a curious fish pokes its head out of the cup.
The fish represents the unexpected movements of the subconscious mind popping up into conscious awareness. The Page does not fear this strange manifestation; he welcomes the bizarre and beautiful mysteries of the deep with total innocence.
Upright
The Page of Cups acts as the imaginative apprentice of the heart. Upright, he brings a rush of creative inspiration, an awakening of psychic sensitivity, or an unexpected message that invites you to approach your emotional life with youthful wonder and an open mind.
Reversed
Reversed, the Page is emotionally volatile and hyper-sensitive. He indicates a tendency to throw tantrums, create unnecessary drama, or abuse your creative imagination as a mechanism to escape the practical responsibilities of reality.
