Meaning in Situations

This card can point to new beginnings in a person's emotional life. Most likely, the relationship you have just begun may lead to a wedding or to a very close emotional bond. If you asked whether you will have a child, the Ace of Cups says unambiguously that you will soon become a parent. If there is already someone very close to you in your life, now is the time to renew that bond emotionally. Perhaps you will receive a gift from a loved one or a close friend. Very soon love and happiness will come to you. As a rule, the Ace of Cups is a beginning — and most often, precisely in matters of the heart.
