Water
The Page of Cups is a card of sensitivity, emotional openness, emotional messages and new impulses from the heart. It symbolises the beginning of a period marked by inner listening, inspiration, gentleness and sincerity. It can represent a young, caring, creative person who is connected to his or her emotions, or a part of yourself that is being reborn with candour and depth. This card is saying to you: allow yourself to feel, to create, to love, even if you don’t yet understand everything. It invites you to follow the current of your heart, to dare to take the first steps, to reach out, to forgive, or to let yourself be surprised. The Page of Cups is the innocence of the heart that begins to believe again, to vibrate, to open up – and that’s where the real magic begins.
