ASTROLOGICAL SIGNIFICANCE: Venus in the 1st house as an occasion for reconciliation, or in the 5th house as the pleasure of the game.

Jack of Cups
Like the other three jacks, the Jack of Cups represents a certain impulse, push, chance. In this case, it may be an invitation to participate in a pleasant deed or a gesture of love and reconciliation. Either way, it is an initiative coming from others that appeals to our feelings, and we accept it with joy and gratitude. The card represents the beginning of the world after a quarrel or conflict, sympathy shown to us in difficult times, and sometimes someone's spiritual outburst, which turns into love for us. This impulse, as a rule, is pure and sincere, and only if other cards say otherwise, it should be treated with caution.

PAGE OF CUPS
THE PAGE OF CUPS symbolizes a persistent person, greedy for knowledge. This person is very serious about everything that happens around. He is thoughtful and thoughtful. Possibly very sensitive. Often this card indicates a person with a poetic mindset, or a person prone to meditation, contemplation, practicing this or that method of spiritual self-improvement.

DIRECT POSITION
Astrological equivalents: Virgo, Pisces, planets Venus and Neptune.
Usually this is a person who is loyal to you. He is always ready to offer you his help and services when it comes to a particular task. This person is very hardworking, diligent, it is quite possible to rely on him.

REVERSED POSITION
Astrological equivalents: Virgo, Pisces and Venus in Virgo.
The inverted PAGE OF CUPS indicates a person who is absent-minded, incapable of concentration, perseverance, hard and monotonous work. Or, on the contrary, this person is overly concentrated on one thing and is a fan of it. An inverted PAGE OF CUPS may indicate a person with oddities, with some kind of deviation. His social position can sometimes be uncertain. In an extreme case, this card can symbolize an ordinary vulgar person, very far from spirituality.

If the card means action.
A. Direct card
The emotion, the feeling represented by the subsequent cards, is fully formed and ready for its expression. It's just a matter of expressing them. If it comes to intuition, certain forms of foresight, then the PAGE OF CUPS can symbolize confirmation of assumptions based on premonitions.

B. Inverted card
There is a tendency to view the inverted PAGE OF CUPS as the opposite of the upright one. Emotions are not conscious. Everything is very shaky and foggy.

The map shows a dowser. Dowsers used the vine to search not only for water, but also for ore, minerals, treasures, and sometimes even people.

Characteristic: a person looking for the hidden, inaccessible to others, not "lying in front of our eyes", not lying "on the surface". He has a good ability to dowsing and probably practices it, has a good sense and relies entirely on him. It is highly sensitive to changes in the environment, for example, it reacts to magnetic storms, senses negative and anomalous zones, and has empathy. This person knows how to find the hidden and hidden, relying on his feelings and sometimes on the help of objects that accompany the search and help in the work. Also, the Page of Cups is highly sensitive to emotional "footprints" left by other people on objects or "in the surrounding atmosphere", for example, he may feel that the thing given to him was given "not with a soul", or in a room in which he entered, before that there was a scandal and he feels the negativity left in her. The Page of Cups has the rudiments of extrasensory perception and, if desired, he can develop them. He is a person looking for feelings, emotions, as well as objects, people and situations that can cause them. He strives for something new, for knowledge. He is always on the lookout. Often the card wins back the situation, i.e. "search" itself.

The card played the Criminal Investigation Department and the investigator at work.

Business: search for solutions and ways to implement them. A businessman seeks and collects the information he needs. The surrounding maps will show what exactly the businessman/employee is looking for - it can be a search for financing or a sales market, or simply a solution to a problem that satisfies the needs.

Relations: search for sensual relationships. A person is either single and in search of a partner, or is in a couple (most often newly formed) and is looking for an emotional sensual relationship with a current partner. The card can act out the search for information about another partner, for example, what he feels, whether he loves, etc.

Advice: look carefully, you have every chance of finding what you need; trust your feelings.

A warning: your search may take longer/ you may not find what you are looking for/ you may annoy someone with your search.

Door– Search situation. A person with deep feelings, with developed intuition.

Key- Apply intuition, flair.

Direct position. Search for information. Positive news. Information related to training. Sensitivity, sometimes tact. Search, choice. The person in the image is looking for the source, however, when the search is successful, the source still needs to be reached, that is, there is no complete result for this map. Definition of tactics of actions. Showing off your abilities.

Reversed position. The choice is made, but not successful enough, or the inability to find the right path. Bad intuition. Inability to listen to the inner voice.

P. Makarov

Map Description: On the map, an exhausted man with a vine is looking for water. Trees grow around, they can’t do without moisture, which means there is definitely water under your feet. The main thing is to find a place where to dig correctly. Underfoot, the sand symbolizes instability, destruction, destruction and the passage of time (association with an hourglass. In the background, monumental mountains.

Work: a person has not yet found himself and his business, he is like a blind kitten poking around everywhere, trying and making mistakes ... but soon he will grow up and understand. In the team, this is most likely a young novice student who learns everything on his own and on his own bumps. For some reason, they don’t help him ... or maybe they help only with advice. Or maybe they are testing, checking how suitable it is for a particular job.
Traveler, archaeologist, explorer.

Money: hardly enough money. From paycheck to paycheck. A person is in constant search - where to earn more or someone to borrow from.

Health: problems of internal organs, fatigue, malaise, overwork. Perhaps a pre-cold or post-cold condition, when weakness and do not want to do anything, but just lie down.

Relations: search for your ideal partner. Perhaps in a couple - this is an unstable relationship. One wants to strengthen them, and the other looks "to the left" either in search of thrills, or vice versa - in peace and stability.

Characteristics of a person: open, simple, dreamer, a little out of this world. A traveler who cannot sit in one place, but also gets tired of wandering rather quickly.

Advice: never give up! Count only on yourself.

Warning: listen to other people's advice, but do it your own way.

Situation/Event/Card of the day: as a card of the day - this is usually the search for solutions, a way out of the situation. Search for information, systematization of information.

Outcome: until there is a logical conclusion. Search.

DOOR AND KEY: door - relationships with people around you. The key is to pick up the key to everyone, find their interests with everyone, hook them.

Like the other three jacks, the Jack of Cups represents a certain impulse, push, chance. In this case, it may be an invitation to participate in a pleasant deed or a gesture of love and reconciliation. One way or another, it is an initiative coming from others that appeals to our feelings, and we accept it with joy and gratitude. The card represents the beginning of the world after a quarrel or conflict, sympathy shown to us in difficult times, and sometimes someone's spiritual outburst, which turns into love for us. This impulse, as a rule, is pure and sincere, and only if other cards say otherwise, it should be treated with caution.

Work

Here the Jack of Cups promises us something new, and this new one will be not only useful, but also pleasant, and perhaps even flattering. This may be an award, recognition, well-deserved praise, or some kind of news at work, confirming the high assessment of our abilities. Or an invitation to a friendly party in a narrow circle, or, for example, an offer from an older and respected comrade to switch to "you" with him. Sometimes it is good advice or friendly help, thanks to which we will be able to cope with our task much better.

Consciousness

Friendly impulses and ideas come to us that help to better understand the situation. It can be comfort or support in difficult times, sympathy for our troubles and problems, or spontaneous gestures that awaken deep feelings in us and a thirst for new development. Cups symbolize the element of water, which can also mean wise advice or a message that came to us in the process of meditation or other appeal to higher powers.

Personal relationships and love

A friendly, conciliatory gesture from a partner. A fresh wind after a period of quarrels and conflicts, or simply the attraction of one soul to another. At the event level, it can mean an offer of a hand.

inner meaning

A young man or woman, perhaps your son or daughter (or someone who matches this image), brother or sister (usually the younger ones). A sensitive young person who has the qualities of his parents, but to a much lesser extent. The appearance of the Page of Tarot Cups in the layout indicates that there is a person with whom you are now connected and who will serve you in important service. If this card does not represent a certain person, then take it as news, the appearance of a new person, possibly a newborn.

Princess of Cups

Primary meaning: Daughter of threads. Sensual girl. Charming seductress. Dreamer. Muse. desire to connect. Romance. Deep feelings. Sweet dreams. Quiet joy.

Profession: Developed professional intuition. True instinct. Trust your feelings.

Consciousness: The ability to be a guide, a medium.

Personal relationships: Slow rapprochement. Tender love relationship. Longing for someone. Strong desire to be together.

Tip: Be emotionally open, show hidden feelings, fulfill cherished desires.

Warning: Seductive coquetry and naive self-deception.

General meaning: The daughter of the streams symbolizes the soul, far from the shores of everyday life, immersed in dreams in the emotional world of the unconscious. She is not ready to accept reality because she cannot treat her dreams as something strange, out of this world. In dreams, she feels that something eternal, timeless, arises in the most secluded corners of her soul. The card speaks of a period of romantic love, endless longing, deep feelings, as well as the opportunity to discover and develop some artistic talent in oneself.

The Princess of Cups symbolizes the earthly part of Water - in particular, the property of crystallization, the ability to materialize an idea, support life and serve as the basis for chemical combinations. She is depicted as a dancing female figure in a flowing robe with a pattern of crystals around the edges. Her head is crowned with a swan with outstretched wings. This reminds us of the swan, which in Eastern philosophy represents the word AUM or AUMGN, the symbol of the entire process of creation. The princess is holding a covered bowl from which a tortoise protrudes. She is also from Hindu philosophy: the same turtle that supports the elephant, on whose back the Universe rests. The princess dances on the foamy surface of the sea, in which the dolphin frolics, the king-fish, symbolizing the power of Creation. By nature, this Princess is infinitely merciful. She is all - attractiveness, sensuality, softness, kindness and tenderness. She lives in the world of Romance, in an eternal rapturous dream. A superficial glance may see selfishness and laziness in her, but this is a false impression; silently and effortlessly, it still does its job. In the I-ching, the earthly part of Water is represented by hexagram 41, Sun, which means “reduction”, the dissolution of everything dense. The people indicated by this card are very dependent on others, but at the same time they are useful to them. On their own, they are seldom important at best, but helpers are unsurpassed.

Aleister Crowley "The BOOK OF THOT"

Description of the lasso

The bird depicted in this card peeks out from what appears to be a cage. There is no door, and in fact the bars disappear. The lattice was an illusion and this little bird is called by the grace and approval of other birds. She spreads her wings, ready for her first flight.

Direct position

Awakening a new understanding that the cage has always been open and the sky has always been open to exploration can make us feel insecure at first. That's fine, insecurity is natural, but don't let it obscure the opportunity for an experience of carelessness and adventure that comes with insecurity. This time move with freshness and tenderness. Feel the thrill inside. Spread your wings and be free.

The meaning of the card

You have been released from the prison, from the cage, you can open your wings and the whole sky is yours. All stars, moon and sun belong to you. You can dissolve into the blue of the beyond... Just stop clinging to the cage, move out of the cage, and all the heavens are yours. Spread your wings and fly towards the sun like an eagle. In the inner sky, in the inner world, freedom is the highest value - everything else is secondary, even bliss, ecstasy. Thousands of flowers are growing, innumerable, but their appearance is made possible in the atmosphere of freedom. (Osho)

All Pages are "servants" and heralds of their suit, foreshadowing some events related to it. The Page of Cups serves the "realm" of emotions, relationships and feelings and portends some events or chances in this area. As a rule, these are pleasant experiences - fresh feelings, new acquaintances. This may be something new in the existing relationship - a gift, a declaration of love, a marriage proposal, or news of pregnancy ... other cards of the alignment can give a hint.

Like the Knight of Cups, the Page can indicate that good news is coming, a tempting invitation, a sincere compliment, or someone showing his affection, a person who will show us open friendliness and participation. The ancient meaning of this Arcana is help, service, a person who will help, will serve an important service in the affairs of the questioner, and will do this, as they say, not in service, but in friendship.

According to tradition, the Page of Cups is a young man or woman, someone perceived by the questioner as a son or daughter, a younger brother or sister. Modern tarology usually considers the portrait of the Figurative Arcana in an expanded way. The Page of Cups is someone who shows a sincere disposition towards us or tries to charm us. In any case, his appearance in the layout is a good sign. He usually reports that we have a "support group", people who readily empathize with what is happening to us and welcome our undertakings. If the questioner is concerned about how his initiatives, business or romantic, will be accepted, then the appearance of the Page of Cups is a confirmation of good assumptions.

The Page of Cups is the bearer of a loving or at least just a kind-hearted impulse, a friendly gesture. Sometimes the Page of Cups in a layout indicates longing for someone and a strong desire to be together. One of the ancient meanings of the card: "sweet dreams", a surge of love feelings, a promising beginning of a romance, someone's declaration of love.

The Page of Cups carries a desire to smooth out tormenting contradictions, reconciliation in tense situations, or, at least, signals the possibility of taking the first step, the fundamental existence of an opportunity to agree and reach mutual understanding.

If nothing contradicts, then the appearance of the Page of Cups in the layout promises a filled, joyful, carefree life. He reports the emotional fullness of the situation, the openness of the heart to love impulses. Together with other favorable Arcana, it can indicate the fulfillment of a cherished desire, receiving what the "soul asks", something long-awaited and desired.

All Pages can designate children in the layout, and in the case of the Page of Cups, the image of a “little fish in a bowl” transparently hints at pregnancy and the appearance of a newborn. Sometimes "pregnancy" is symbolic - the card reflects a certain creative idea, an idea that the questioner dreams of realizing.

It may turn out that the Page of Cups is a person who is indebted to the questioner (sometimes dependent on him).

Otvyazno-bohemian and romantic-poetic. Daydreaming, which interferes with coping with the realities of this world, poetic languor and charm. This card carries a striking, “childish” softening of the soul that has hardened in the field of life. It becomes a pity for those whom in another time we would not have honored with thoughts, let alone feelings. I want to take care and be the object of care. I want to caress and be caressed. Kindness, responsiveness, caring, without thinking about what such behavior will lead to.

The Page of Cups is very emotional and trusts intuition. This is a friendly, contact, carefree and eminently charming personality. He is characterized by tenderness, grace and softness. The Page of Cups is a comrade playful, charming and seductive. In the Venetian Tarot, it is Casanova himself. Without mask. Real. His instinctive nature is characterized by purity, kindness and openness. This is a tender heart, ready to enjoy life and please others without a second thought (which will surely appear in the Page of Swords). The Page of Cups wants to trust and pour out his soul, he is a good listener and confidant.

This is a card of a spiritually developed person with a pronounced intuition and excellent creative potential. It captivates with its inner light and subtle emotionality. The Page of Cups can be both a sensitive girl and a soft, gentle man. The important thing is that next to them the soul softens and it turns out that the heart is not a stone. This is one of those miracles that occur near all representatives of the suit of Cups (Water). Suddenly it turns out that someone is interested in us, someone is ready to listen to us just like that, and not because he needs something from us (or us from him). This is the same “happiness when you are understood, and the very luxury of human communication, with which life is not so often abundant. The Page of Cups has an exceptional ability to provide moral and spiritual support by his mere presence, due to his kindness, receptivity and ability to tune in to another.

The flip side of this gift is that it is difficult for the Page of Cups to defend their positions. He lacks proper self-respect and often seems to be superior to others. He is trusting and often puts himself in a vulnerable position. He is attractive and amorous, and his sweet coquetry serves as a bait for internally hardened people who seek through him to "reclaim their soul." According to the Page of Cups, we really begin to listen to our desires and aspirations again, and this can be experienced as a “return of the soul” and inspiration.

The Page of Cups takes you far from the shores of everyday life (at least for that brief moment when a deeply moved listener leaves a grateful comment on a good song on the Internet).

The archetype of the Page of Cups is the muse, the inspiring dreamer. The Page of Cups helps to manifest and resonate with some previously hidden aspects of the soul. A curious fish peeping out of the goblet symbolizes the images of the subconscious, “peeping out” from there into the consciousness (and trying to survive there). The Page of Cups on the map regards it favorably and thoughtfully. His figure personifies the diligent contemplation of the visions generated by the unconscious, mediumistic cooperation. Fish - a creature living in the depths of the sea, is symbolically associated with the unconscious. This card symbolizes creative contemplation, meditation on the contents of one's own soul - fantasies, feelings, ideas, images. They are drawn to draw, write down, reflect in music or capture in some other way. The Page of Cups has the richest inner world, and he likes to dive into its depths for the next "catch". For him, dreams are more real and more valuable than omnipotent reality.

At the same time, the Page of Cups embodies the "land of Water". Under its influence, there is a gradual crystallization of internal values and the disclosure of the inner world for reality. According to legend, Undine (the female spirit of Water) received an immortal soul after she found a husband among people, a companion (and sacrifice) of flesh and blood. Our unconscious holds old truths deep, and the only sure tool to bring them to the surface is the physical body. It is truly married to the soul and often becomes its victim, "responding" with gastritis, migraines and insomnia for its languor and anxiety. At the same time, this Arcana helps to realize the wisdom of the body as a necessary starting point for returning to spiritual heights. In a mystical sense, he embodies the desire to find a connection with the cosmos, the desire to find something more than love itself, to plunge into an endless source.

Another archetype of the Page of Cups is the dreamy inner child. He is the only one of the Pages who is more concerned with the inner world than with the outer one, and his dreams, desires, dreams refer precisely to the inner success, called happiness. He dreams of that kingdom of the Grail, of eternal ideal love, which is run by his symbolic father, the King of Cups. Therefore, the Page of Cups draws, plays music, reads, writes poetry and composes songs about love - this is how his soul lives - while the Page of Swords learns to monitor others and "split" riddles, the Page of Wands - to impress and achieve success, and the Page of Pentacles - to master practical skills and doing something “real and useful”. Like other Figures of Water, the heart of the Page of Cups is selflessly given to something unattainable. According to tradition, he personifies an innocent child, a virgin princess, open to everyone and inaccessible to anyone. At the level of consciousness, Arkan corresponds to the ability to be a conductor, a medium. The Page of Cups symbolizes the gift of foresight. He is able to very sensitively predict the first signs of personality changes long before they actually happen to us. One of the archetypes of the Page of Cups is Eros, a divine child with a bow and arrow, capable of producing radical changes in the human heart, inflicting a "wound" on it and making it receptive to what previously left cold. In this sense, the Page of Cups is the messenger of the Wounded King, the King of Cups, the senior Figure of the "water" suit.

The Page of Cups has long been considered a trustworthy worker, a useful person, eager to offer his services and make efforts to achieve a specific goal. His old attestation: "hard-working soul." It is only important that the deed be in tune with this soul. Then he experiences positively for everything, for every aspect, delves into and strives to improve.

In business situations marked by the Page of Cups, partners are ready to take a step forward or formulate some kind of attractive offer. This is a map of willingness to cooperate. In general, he patronizes rather non-commercial projects, but does not exclude business success, especially when confirmed by other alignment cards.

In the Page of Cups, just as in the case of other Figures of Cups, a lot of emotion goes into the work. This is a card of true instinct, trust in your feelings.

The Page of Cups patronizes all pursuits that require imagination and an aesthetic approach. He can be an excellent florist, draftsman, event music specialist, wardrobe purchase consultant. Intuition, receptivity, sensitivity and taste help him to properly tune in to the customer.

Artistic creativity, humanities, various arts, including the art of divination, psychological counseling. The Page of Cups can decorate a stage or various events.

It is believed that the Page of Cups is a good student, and that the card speaks of diligence and diligence in the sciences. The student mode is generally characteristic of the Pages. The Page of Cups connects to the subject with his heart, he learns only what resonates in his soul.

Advice: open your feelings, fulfill your cherished desires, trust your intuition.

Card trap: have no self-respect, do not trust themselves and trust others without any reason. Naive self-deception.

Naivety in financial matters. Overconfidence. Insufficient ability to manage capital. It may indicate a lack of legal support, non-compliance with all the details of the transaction due to amateurism, ignorance of the rules and subtleties.

The Page of Cups is not yet a victory on the love front, but, so to speak, an “arrangement” for this front (a chance for love offered by external circumstances). This is undoubtedly a card of tender feelings. It carries the desire for rapprochement and connection, mutual understanding, truce. This card has an exceptional note of sympathy and empathy. It describes an affectionate and responsive attitude, the ability to rejoice and please the other. She is in charge of emotional and spiritual intimacy and gratitude, the revival of feelings.

The card describes a dependent partner, emotionally, financially or otherwise fueled by his "dominant" (gender does not play a role here). But this, as a rule, is not prudent exploitation - the Page of Cups really feels affection. If the card describes a lover, then one about whom you want to say with a smile “Child!”, As he is young, slightly naive and very receptive. He may be inexperienced or inept, but this does not spoil the impression at all - he is so gentle, affectionate, unselfish. One of the ancient meanings of the card: "children's love" (both as a person and as an event).

The Page of Cups, like no other, runs the risk of getting "the bitter experience of young days" because of his naivety and vulnerability. If the Page of Swords usually does not let anyone near him, even after a long sniffing (“And yet no!”), Then the Page of Cups gives himself without a trace and without looking back, without really understanding the partner. He is inclined to take emotional risks, not always even conscious of it and diving into a maelstrom of emotions with his head, and this is not the best basis for finding a lasting relationship (as Mary Greer puts it, "slavish submission to the first impulse of love", which is only at the level of the Queen Chas becomes a unique ability to feel any partner).

At the same time, the Page of Cups corresponds to a demonstration of feelings (a fish sticks out of a goblet, unable to remain hidden in it), a sincere love impulse, the beginning of a novel. It can be thoughtless flirting without thinking about the future, or a prologue to something serious - other cards of the layout can give a hint. The only drawback of the situation described by the Page of Cups is that it is still unknown what will be revealed when the first romantic fog clears and the contours of reality begin to emerge from it - the more ideal everything was at first, the greater the risk of a subsequent mismatch of outlines. However, the Page of Cups perfectly expresses the spirit of the mocking saying: “Whatever the rake teaches, the heart believes in miracles!” Such miracles are entirely in the power of the Figures of Water (or Cups).

The reversed Page of Cups resembles a small soap bubble. It is similar to the vanishing experience that we experience when we impulsively make an unnecessary purchase. This card may indicate that emotions are not deep, that everything is very unsteady, vague and will soon change.

Traditionally: windiness and promiscuity in love, sliding down an inclined plane. Deception, swindle, falsehood and flattery, treason, heartache. Other traditional meanings: loss of innocence, loss of trust, attraction to the "wrong person", feminine youth, easily influenced by others and at risk of being used. In a modern interpretation, it can also hint at an attraction to children. One of the ancient meanings of the card is addictions that threaten to destroy a person's life, pathological inclinations, very strong passions and temptations.

The card can indicate self-doubt, "buried talents" (like the reversed Page of Pentacles), and fear of love, an attempt to become emotionally invulnerable. A person does not hope for anything (“Do not offer a hand and a heart”).

Refusal to reconcile or offer, unwillingness to listen, make contact, go on a date. Rejected confessions and gifts.

The card can also describe a vulnerable, ridiculed child who finds it difficult to stand up for himself. Mary Greer also points to escapism, the desire to "retreat to a private inland kingdom populated by imaginary friends and slam the door on oneself."

Relationship breakdown, engagements, invitation withdrawn, social event canceled, date rescheduled.

Some ancient meanings attribute to the Page of Cups such manifestations as style and luxury, taste and various addictions. It can also be futile attempts to “do everything as in dreams”, empty hobbies, the pursuit of “soap bubbles” like unrequited love. Sometimes “bubbles” turn out to be not such love, but futile attempts to exchange and forget it ... In any case, the inverted Page of Cups indicates some kind of “emotional hole” in the astral body of the questioner (however, once the presence of such a hole was considered almost mandatory for a young person, it was poeticized and even glorified.

With the Two of Cups - marriage (from an old interpreter)

After the Page of Wands - a dangerous rival in love

Reversed with Nine of Cups - cooling, disappointment

Ondines, mermaids, naiads, nereids, souls of the dead (since ancient times, one of their symbols was small dolphins).

The Page of Cups has an exceptional ability to provide moral and spiritual support by his mere presence, due to his kindness, receptivity and ability to tune in to another.
The flip side of this gift is that it is difficult for the Page of Cups to defend their positions. He lacks proper self-respect and often seems to be superior to others. He is trusting and often puts himself in a vulnerable position. He is attractive and amorous, and his sweet coquetry serves as a bait for internally hardened people who seek through him to "reclaim their soul." According to the Page of Cups, we really begin to listen to our desires and aspirations again, and this can be experienced as a “return of the soul” and inspiration.
The Page of Cups takes you far from the shores of everyday life (at least for that brief moment when a deeply moved listener leaves a grateful comment on a good song on the Internet).

The meaning of the Pace of Cups card on a deeper level

The archetype of the Page of Cups is the muse, the inspiring dreamer. The Page of Cups helps to manifest and resonate with some previously hidden aspects of the soul. A curious fish peeping out of the goblet symbolizes the images of the subconscious, “peeping out” from there into the consciousness (and trying to survive there). The Page of Cups on the map regards it favorably and thoughtfully. His figure personifies the diligent contemplation of the visions generated by the unconscious, mediumistic cooperation. Fish - a creature that lives in the depths of the sea, is symbolically associated with the unconscious. This card symbolizes creative contemplation, meditation on the contents of one's own soul - fantasies, feelings, ideas, images. They are drawn to draw, write down, reflect in music or capture in some other way. The Page of Cups has the richest inner world, and he likes to dive into its depths for the next "catch". For him, dreams are more real and more valuable than omnipotent reality.
At the same time, the Page of Cups embodies the "land of Water". Under its influence, there is a gradual crystallization of internal values and the disclosure of the inner world for reality. According to legend, Undine (the female spirit of Water) received an immortal soul after she found a husband among people, a companion (and sacrifice) of flesh and blood. Our unconscious holds old truths deep, and the only sure tool to bring them to the surface is the physical body. It is truly married to the soul and often becomes its victim, "responding" with gastritis, migraines and insomnia for its languor and anxiety. At the same time, this Arcana helps to realize the wisdom of the body as a necessary starting point for returning to spiritual heights. In a mystical sense, he embodies the desire to find a connection with the cosmos, the desire to find something more than love itself, to plunge into an endless source.
Another archetype of the Page of Cups is the dreamy inner child. He is the only one of the Pages who is more concerned with the inner world than with the outer one, and his dreams, desires, dreams refer precisely to the inner success, called happiness. He dreams of that kingdom of the Grail, of eternal ideal love, which is run by his symbolic father, the King of Cups. Therefore, the Page of Cups draws, plays music, reads, writes poetry and composes songs about love - this is his soul alive - while the Page of Swords learns to monitor others and “split” riddles, the Page of Wands - to impress and achieve success, and the Page of Pentacles - to master practical skills and doing something “real and useful”. Like other Figures of Water, the heart of the Page of Cups is selflessly given to something unattainable. According to tradition, he personifies an innocent child, a virgin princess, open to everyone and inaccessible to anyone. At the level of consciousness, Arkan corresponds to the ability to be a conductor, a medium. The Page of Cups symbolizes the gift of foresight. He is able to very sensitively predict the first signs of personality changes long before they actually happen to us. One of the archetypes of the Page of Cups is Eros, a divine child with a bow and arrow, capable of producing radical changes in the human heart, inflicting a "wound" on it and making it receptive to what previously left cold. In this sense, the Page of Cups is the messenger of the Wounded King, the King of Cups, the senior Figure of the "water" suit.
