I call the Nine of Cups the "emotional miser" key. Arms folded in a stance of protection, the figure in this key guards the cups behind him jealously. Most Tarot books call the Nine of Cups the "wishes fulfilled" key, but usually for me, this key is about someone who is afraid or unwilling to [...]
One of the most mysterious keys in Tarot, the Seven of Cups invites us to look at what we really value (and desire) in our lives. The man stands before seven cups, contemplating what is before him. A castle, jewels, a wreath of victory with a skull on the cup, the red dragon of temptation, [...]
Do you remember your first childhood crush? Do you know the joy of reuniting with a childhood friend? Do you long for the "lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer" of your teen years? The Six of Cups represents all those happy memories, and more. New friendships and new opportunities may be forthcoming! The cheerful cottage [...]
Standing in utter despair, the person in this key ignores both the three overturned cups and the two remaining that hold hope and promise. The river before him represents his subconscious, or the flow of life's events and his choice to accept of reject them. Interestingly, the figure also ignores the bridge just a ways [...]
A young man sits in contemplation, or perhaps anger, arms folded. He refuses the cup offered to him, while three others stand before him, ignored. The suit of Cups represent emotion, and here we see the man refusing to accept, or even acknowledge an emotional gift, or a kindness. Perhaps he is in deep meditation [...]

Three of Cups depicts three maidens dancing together, cups held high in celebration. The numerology of this Key is wonderful, as it explores the trinity of mother-maiden-crone and mind-body-spirit connection. Notice the harvest of vegetables at their feet. This Key is also about gratitude for abundance in our lives. Finally, this Key is about finding [...]
The overt symbolism of this key is the union between a man and a woman, relating harmoniously to each other. However, this idea overlooks other important aspects of the key. Carl Jung, the noted Swiss psychologist, maintained that each of us carries within us a masculine and a feminine side. When we balance the energy [...]
The suit of Cups is about emotional growth, and Aces in all four suits are about new gifts coming into our lives. Therefore, the Ace of Cups represents a new emotional opportunity that is forthcoming. The descending dove holding a wafer of hope reminds us to always look toward the Divine for guidance and love.
