ACE OF CUPS
Are you ready for a grand love affair? Perhaps the greatest
love affair of your life? How well prepared are you to receive this BIG love?
Are you equipped to embrace such a wonderful gift? The Ace of Cups marks the
beginning of the journey on which Eros and Psyche embark that encompasses and
teaches the various stages of ‘relationship’. Their story tells of how our
feelings develop and evolve as we endure each lesson. It’s about our capacity
to relate to another person, or furthermore, harmonise with that person. Now
this notion seems easy enough yes? Well, if only it were that easy….
The Ace of
Cups appearing in a reading suggests that the person is ready for, or has a
desire for a new development in the area of relationships. Although it heralds
the early stages of a relationship, the card is promising as it offers the
opportunity for love, joy and fulfillment. As depicted in the image, it represents
an overflow of abundance. When The Ace of Cups appears, there is an upsurge of
raw, powerful energy that is hard to suppress. So where does this upsurge come
from? It stems from none other than Aphrodite, of course. She is after all, the
Goddess of Love. Yes, it all began with her and if it weren’t for her, Eros and
Psyche may not have ever met! Find out how you can learn more about this myth

the essence of the Ace of Cups is generally positive, we should consider that
we, at this stage, are still on our own. Now this is where it can get tricky….
you see although we have a desire to unite with another (I mean who wants to be
on their own forever really!), things are a hell of a lot easier when you don’t
have to consider another person. Suddenly, it’s not just your stuff you’ve got
to deal with, but also the stuff of those of whom you’ve united with. So, this
is one of the things we learn at this beginning stage of the journey; if we can
just love and be loved, staying in the realm of just LOVE and that’s it, we’ll
do well…..but how do we do that?
