Your Questions About Suit of Cups Meaning

Knight of Cups from the Rider-Waite Tarot deck

KNIGHT OF CUPS FROM THE RIDER-WAITE TAROT DECK Image via Wikipedia

Chris asks…

What does it mean when 4 out of 5 cards in the 5 card spread (star spread) are cups?

I did a 5 card spread for myself. The star spread. And 4 out of the 5 came up cups. The layout was:

1. reversed justice
2. reversed 7 of cups
3. 3 of cups
4. page of cups
5. knight of cups

I am just starting in learning how to read the cards. I have an Idea as to what it may mean but I would like a little help from anyone willing to assist me. I still don’t fully understand the significance of the suits when they show up more than once and the relation of the cards to one another, as in figuring out the true meaning of the card in relation to the others, in the spread. Please, if you can, help me out. THANKS

TarotTrumps answers:

Cups represent emotions, creativity, and water. To have so many cups in one spread suggests either that the issue is related to creativity. That is, the answer to your problems may lie in your own creativity.

Or they may mean that you should look to your own feelings and emotions.  Be honest with yourself and others about your feelings. And be aware of and sensitive to the feelings of others.

Look to the emotional issues of the question.

Your Questions About Minor Arcana

Richard asks…

Tarot people: 2 of swords, Ace of wands and 10 of coins/pentacles?

Can’t fully crack the meaning of this reading, since I am only just now getting fully acquainted with all the minor arcana. I asked whether this person was going to get married during the next 12 months, and got the 2 of Swords for an answer, and the Ace of wands and the 10 of coins, by this order, for further explaining into the future.

Help please! Tk you!
Wow now I actually got the 4 of wands itself.. I guess that is a capital yes, right!?
Man I still have a lot of training to do on this. The cards just never tell me, it’s like it either wont happen at all, or it’s still in secrecy. It could be related to the fact that I am not exactly all that into getting married anyway, and as for the work endeavour.. yes it has already started, I’m applying for a PhD overseas. I love this person like I never loved anyone before, but marriage is a bit way out of my comfort zone, for now at least. I’m 29 …still have a lot to do with my life, and only this one to do it! Settling down into a married woman’s life can wait until I’m done with a few projects first! Being with him again this next year would already be great, I’ll be busier than ever, but never too busy for what could be the love of my life, at least to date! lol We’ll see… Thank you so much for your answer, it was really helpful.. and may God provide indeed!

TarotTrumps answers:

I don’t see marriage in these cards.
You’ve 3 cards and 3 element here (air, fire and earth).
The element that is missing is water so nothing about relationships or feelings.

2 of Swords is a agreement, contract or binding.
Ace of wands can be new home or job.
10 of Pentacles is a good card for money but more so in the long term not immediate future.

I’d say you’ll be going overseas for the PhD and it should setup you up well in life.

Maria asks…

Tarot card help?

i have a set of tarot cards, and also a book that came along with it. The book tells me the major arcana upright and reversed, but for the minor, it only tells me the upright, does it have anything for the reversed? or does it mean it both ways. Befor it explaines the cards indivuadly, it says what the whole suit means, ands also upside down, but, is it the same for each card reversed?

TarotTrumps answers:

The study of the reversed cards is best left to those who fully grasp the meanings of the upright cards. When you include the reversed meanings, basically it means that you are studying a 156 card deck!

Plus, the positions of the cards in relation to each other make things even more complex.

That is just too much for a novice. The upright meanings alone can be confusing enough. I recommend learning the basics before adding the more complex, advanced interpretations.

Your Questions About Suit Of Cups Water

Donald asks…

Do they make special bras to use in the water?

I got a new bathing suit but it does not have cups in it only the material i was wondering if any places make cups to put into your bathing suit or some kind of bra to wear in the water that i could use under my bathing suit.

TarotTrumps answers:

Just take the cup parts of a regular bra that you like and remove all the rest of the bra. Then sew those cups into your new swimsuit. A smooth cupped bra designed to wear with sweaters and knit tops is what you need. Use one that is one or two shades darker than your natural skin tone, if you can find it.

This kind of smooth, skin color, non-patterned bra cup can be sewn into your suit and it will look fine. You can leave the bottom elastic band area of the bra and just sew the whole thing at the sides only (for a tankini or one piece suit) or you can just sew the cups alone, at the sides and bottom, into a bikini top.

If you make this kind of alteration to your new suit, try it out in the shower first and move around a lot to test it out in different positions.

If I were you, I would just return the suit if I could and get one with a bra already sewn in at the factory. Much easier…

Good luck!! : )

Michael asks…

I need makeover help ?

This is going to be a long question. :)
Well school starts in about 3 or 4 weeks. I guess I’m pretty, but I’m tired of being known as the “cute one” to all of my friends. I want to look prettier, hotter, and more mature. I also want to look like a girl guys stop and stare at. But I don’t want to lose myself!!
I’m going into high school.
I’m maybe 4’11″. Pretty short. I have medium skin that tans to a dark walnut in the summer. I have almond shaped dark brown eyes, and dark brown hair. I’m really thin, and people make fun of me for it and being short. I have a small amount of really long (overgrown) layers, and overgrown sidebangs.
My style is like a t-shirt, jeans, polos, sneakers kind. Really casual.
I have a bunch of questions, for different categories.

HAIR
1) Should I cut my hair like this (having a heart-shaped face?): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FiHL3WkYECc
2) Does giving yourself natural highlights with apple cider vinegar (1 cup water, 1 cup ACV) actually work? I’m tempted to try, because my mom doesn’t want me to go to a salon for highlights and she won’t let me buy a kit.
3) How could I fix my hair like this?: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WnZ3USvpWN0
I actually have no curling iron, but if I wanted my hair curly I usually use braids and sleep in them overnight. I also own a hair dry (but no straightener). Do I just have to make really loose braids to get the waves?
4) Is there a way to make your hair grow a little faster? I want it to be a little longer before it gets cut.
5) Any cute hairstyles, casual like messy buns, etc.?
6) Any healthy hair tips?

I’m petite. I want a cute, fun girly style.
1) What are the trends for 2010-2011?
2) What are the essentials in my wardrobe?
3) What stores should I shop at?
4) Anything else I need to know?
5) What kind of bags are cute, affordable, and durable (like purses, etc.?)
6) What kinds of shoes are cute affordable, trendy, and they go with any outfit? How many and what kinds of shoes should I have?

MAKEUP
1) What colors would suit me?
2) How much is enough makeup?
3) How do you curl your eyelashes?
4) Can Vaseline be used as mascara?
5) What/ how should I do my makeup if I want my eyes to look bigger?
6) Or, how can I work with my almond eye shape?
7) Any beauty tips?

BODY
1) What’s a good beauty routine?
2) How often should I shave/pluck/wax?
3) How do I shape and pluck and groom my eyebrows?
4) How much water should I drink each day, recommended?
5) What’s a good skincare routine? I get occasional zits.
6) Good ways to get rid of eyebags?
7) Do any of those eyebag creams work? 8) Ways to develop body confidence?
9) How to take care of a girlstache?
10) How to keep up with everything?
11) How to look good anytime, anywhere?
12) What exercises to fix my flat butt? (:

PERSONALITY
1) How to not lose myself?
2) How to flirt with guys?
3) How to be more organized this year?
4) How to be more girly?
5) How to be a better student?

Your Questions About Minor Arcana

Richard asks…

How to read the minor Arcana?

Well, I have the deck in front of me, but how do I use it? Do I just ask myself any random question and pick out any random card? I don’t get it. Someone please help me figure out how to use it?

TarotTrumps answers:

If you have the Rider pack, designed by Arthur Waite, there will be plenty of books around explaining the symbolism used for both the minor and major arcana. Waite himself wrote a couple of books on this, and perhaps you should try to track down these. Much of the symbolism is innate archetypes as described by Carl Jung.

After gaining a thorough knowledge of the depicted symbolism, you should then attempt to develop your own intuition into deeper meaning.

Sharon asks…

Do I need the Minor Arcana?

I have both Major and Minor Arcana cards, but is the Minor Arcana necessary for every reading, or is it possible to just use Major?

TarotTrumps answers:

They aren’t absolutely necessary, no. There is no one way to read cards, historically due to the amount of variation deck to deck. There are lots of people who read with majors alone, and in the old days many cartomancers also read with the minors alone. Fewer cards just tends to limit the degree of the specifics which can be provided to you, but that might suit you.

Tarot Card Descriptions

The Lightning, a tarot card from the Belgian T...

Image via Wikipedia

Many people will say many different things about tarot cards and tarot card descriptions; truth is there are many ways to understand them, but only one true way to actually define them. Tarot cards are a stack of cards placed in front of you, defining some of your most sought after questions in life.

Symbolism means everything in these cards, the mystical images for the divination and infamous fortune telling. They are most commonly known for their aspects of being a valuable thing for help with your life’s problems.

People generally turn to these tarot card descriptions as a means of understanding their problems, concerns or questions in life and relationships. Tarot card descriptions may mean something different to each individual; however the cards themselves only have one meaning per card, symbol or suit. (more…)


Your Questions About the Tarot Suit of Cups

Sharon asks…

The Tarot is confusing the hell out of me.?

I purchased a deck of Tarot cards. This particular deck is of a Celtic theme. But the instructions are very unclear, so I’m wondering, do you have to abide by a deck’s theme for it to work properly?

In each deck that I know of, you get four suits (wands, swords, cups, coins) and a Fool, Magician, High Priestess, Empress, Emperor, Hierophant, Lovers, Chariot, Strength, Hermit, Wheel of Fortune, Justice, Hanged Man, Death, Temperance, Devil, Tower, Star, Moon, Sun, Judgement, and World cards.

So if they’re all the same cards, why should the meanings differ? DO they differ?

TarotTrumps answers:

Just so you know, some books on the Tarot give a lot of mumbo-jumbo that isn’t true.

Back in the 18th century, someone in France wrote a book about the Tarot, and tied it in with the then-popular Egyptian craze. He explained everything in the Tarot deck in terms of Egyptian religion, and told about religious rites that were performed in the pyramids–but *he made it all up.*

A year or two later, the Rosetta Stone was translated, and everything that guy wrote about the Tarot was shown to be false. The pyramids turned out to be tombs, not temples; the “Gypsies” are not from Egypt; and the Tarot cards do not retain the Egyptian religion for the Gypsies in symbolic form. It’s all a crock.

The truth is that when Marco Polo returned from China, he brought back with him playing cards; the Chinese loved all sorts of card games. Playing cards then became fashionable in Italy, and one of the card games was known as Tarocchi. The tarot deck is the deck of cards that was used to play the game.

And regular playing cards are almost identical: Instead of 4 suits of 13 cards each, the Tarot has 4 suits of 14 cards each (instead of Jack, Queen, and King, it has Page, Knight, Queen and King). Hearts are Cups, Diamonds are Pentacles (or Coins), Spades are Swords, and Clubs are Rods (or Wands). The other cards have all disappeared, with the exception of the Fool, which has turned into the Joker.

Somewhere along the line, somebody got the idea of using the cards to tell fortunes. It’s all very Jungian, all about synchronicity, but there is no spiritual value in the cards at all, except for what you yourself allow them to have. Just think of the card deck used in “Old Maid:” Almost every pair of cards (in some decks) is an archetype or stereotype.

For that matter, you could use Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs: Snow White, Sneezy, Dopey, Bashful, Grumpy, Happy, Sleepy, and Doc. They’re all eight of them archetypes, too.

Having said all that, I used to have two people do Tarot readings for me. The one person was a very precise and orderly person, and would tell me what every card meant in every deck he knew of; his readings were not of “the future,” but instead told me what was going on in my spiritual life–very accurately. The other person’s readings, though, were quite different–they tended to be less about what was going on in my head, and more about what he wanted to see.

Thomas asks…

Can you help me interpret my tarot reading cards?

Hello there,

I got eight of cups, the Star, ten of pentacles, death, three of swords.

I have been unemployed for the past five months, and I am thinking of either setting my foot with some commission-based financial group or leave the country all together to the country whom I worked there last year, and I still have my contacts in that country.

Though I am reading for some exam for that commision-based job, but my heart is go back, and just establish myself there.

So what are the cards telling me? Any advise there?

Also, when I do my swords suit reading, I always get – four of swords- pertaining to recuperation……and I have been at home for a long time, so what is the point of relaxing or recuperating when I was recharging all along, maybe mentally?

Info to add.

Eight of cups is regeneration. When something has run its course and it is time to move on. (I guess advice to leave the country or town)

Ten of pentacles. I have in the book it says about investment whether intellectually, business or relationship wise.

But I have the death card right after it? what does that suppose to mean?

And after the death card I have three of swords, which is tension released. Refers to a dissapointment , saddness, however joy and saddness do come from the same origin. so after saddness maybe joy can come after?!

I can linke the eight of cups and the star.

However ten of pent. then death then three of swods…….hhhhmmmmm?

TarotTrumps answers:

Consider this with the cards…

8 of Cups – a conscious decision on your part to reject a situation in front of you and walk away.

10 of Pentacles – an investment in yourself and possibly a company. Means a lot of hard work. Look for a family name associated with the businesses you are considering.

Death – means change and transformation as a result of personal sacrifice, which brings into your life a renewal, rebirth or new start. Which position calls to you spiritually?

3 of Swords – sorrow which could come from separation from what you know and is familiar to you. An ending in the present for a new life in the near future. There is also a caution not to out-think yourself or over analyze.

Star – new beginnings, a new start.

There is a lot of emotion surrounding your cards (and your decision). Try to be gentle on yourself in choosing.

Blessings and Good Fortune to you

James asks…

I just found my old deck of tarot cards, help with suits?

I have the Fairy Tarot Deck by Lo Scarabeo … The suits are Acorns, Hearts, Leaves and Bells… What would they be in a normal deck? Like which symbol would be the sword, which would be the cups etc…

Where could I get a copy of the instruction booklet? Or can I just go by the meanings of the numbers and suits of a regular deck when reading this one?

Also, I need a good site for learning all about tarot. Thanks :)

I am a beginner. I am going to use a standard guide, but I just needed to double-check the suits, as I don’t want to learn them wrong.
Arizona wins :)

Thanks dear!

TarotTrumps answers:

I am not familiar with the Fairy Tarot. My guess on the suits would be Acorn = wants, Hearts = cups, Leaves = swords, and Bells = pentacles (coins).

You might try Lo Scarabeo’s website for more info. However, if y9u know/understand the tarot, it is quite possible to do good readings intuitively with an off-beat or unusual deck. Even if you do not know the tarot but simply will allow yourself to be guided by intuition, you can do pretty good readings without the book that comes with the deck.

I must warn you, though, that if you start out reading intuitively, and you later read the booklet that comes with the deck, you may just get confused and find it harder to read with that deck…at least for awhile. If you are reading intuitively without the book, and getting good results, you may want to stick with that.

Alternatively if you read a book or two on general readings, based on the Rider-Waite, that may help you get started.

I hope that helps. Best of luck!

Tarot Card Readings

Tarot Reading

Understanding Tarot

I am always fascinated by the variations of Tarot Readings on offer and the numerous spreads that are used to reflect our life path.  When I have worked at Psychic Fayres I have observed a great deal about how the other Tarot Readers work in their unique way.  At a glance you look at the spread on the table and wonder how on earth could that reflect one person’s life.  When you study the Tarot you get to see the bigger picture and understanding the Tarot Reading is essential.  It is also important to have a consistent approach to doing a reading because the Tarot Card’s get used to communicating to a certain set of circumstances.  In essence you own and train the Tarot Cards through constant use and communication and you understand the hidden language behind each card.

The Tarot Symbolism and Meanings of the Magician Tarot Card

In tarot reading, the Magician is the card of manifestation. He represents the development of one’s first sense of conscious awareness. In this regard, he has become aware of his own, unique sense of self. The Magician Card encourages one to use their intellect to master the world around them. When he appears in a tarot card reading, he is a card of creation, constantly shifting the energies around him to manifest his desires.

The Magician’s counterpart is the female High Priestess. Thus, the Magician represents the masculine while the High Priestess represents the feminine. As a masculine figure, the Magician Tarot Card represents action. Unlike the High Priestess who prefers to go inward to gather knowledge from her intuitive nature, the Magician prefers to explore all that is outside of him. He is naturally curious and is constantly searching for the mystical and secretive elements in the natural world. His goal is to understand all that surrounds him and ultimately use this knowledge to master his world.

Tarot Symbolism of the Number 1:
The Magician Tarot card is associated the number one. In the tarot card deck, he is the fist numbered card of the Major Arcana. One’s represent individuality, creativity, originality, unity, power, knowledge and birth. His symbolic association to the number one references his divine connection to the Divine. Although his goal is to master the physical realm, he still remains tied to Divine Consciousness. In a  tarot card reading, the Magician represents the union with Divine consciousness. He is the conscious link between the world of spirit and the world of man.

Tarot Cards For Beginners – Beginning Your Journey to Know Your Future

Tarot cards and the ability to divine is an amazing skill to have. Tarot cards allow us to peer into past, present and future and find answers which sometimes can be hard or next to impossible to find.

* Tarot Card Basics

Tarot cards are cards that allow you to divine. That is to look into something and learn more about it. So, you can find out about topics or questions on your mind, or what others have as questions and are in need of answers.

Tarot cards are a set of cards which when shuffled bring the enquirer an answer. This is usually through intuition. The cards have different meanings, and the symbols are designed to stir up something in the unconscious mind that brings the answers or intuition. Though some people also believe that answers are from God, higher spirit, angels, etc.

The cards are accurate in the information they provide. However, you may not be! This brings us to the two types of Tarot card readers, in what I term the Tarot card reader and the diviner.

The Tarot card reader is someone who has just began in the journey of Tarot. At first, when you begin, you will need to look at the book and find the meaning of the cards. However, I believe this does not give the most accurate information for our questions, as these meanings are only a loose guide.

The diviner is someone who has excelled in their ability to pierce the veil and find the answers they seek through the use of intuition. It can take many years to get to this stage. However, every time that you divine, you will get better and better. This all depends on your spiritual evolution at this time. Some people have great intuition when they begin reading the cards, while others have to spend years, and yet others may not quite be able to connect in a whole lifetime.
