ACE
of CUPS
The Aces offer all the benevolent gifts of their suit, seeming to be offered out of the blue. They are positive cards of opportunity and inspiration
“Love doesn’t just sit there, like a stone, it has to be made, like bread; remade all the time, made new.”
-Ursula K. LeGuin
The Ace of Cups breaks through the clouds (usually accompanied by a dove and a wafer) with a gift of love, compassion and spiritual awareness. It’s a gift that can forge new relationships, deepen established ones, and wash resentments of the past away with forgiveness.
When this ace shows up approach all endeavors with compassion and heart. Be ready to receive and listen before you act or speak.
It’s a time to appreciate the strength and depth our emotional life gives us.

Meditations/ Questions for an Ace of Cups Day
When have you provided crucial emotional support for someone else? When has it been provided for you?
Can you empathize with someone you consider an enemy?
Do you struggle with forgiving others? With forgiving yourself?
Doing a body-scan meditation can make us more aware of our emotional state.
