Page of Cups’ Advice

Personal Growth

A gung-ho spirit goes a long way; be sure to pair it with due diligence. Pair your enthusiasm with practical preparation, and you’ll find yourself maturing at a surprising rate.

Relationship

Fools rush in. Don’t mistake the heady rush of infatuation for the enduring stability of true love. Why rush? You’ve got plenty of time to decide what works (and doesn’t work) for you. Before making commitments, learn the ropes.

Career

Be indulgent of beginners and channel their enthusiasm into useful projects. Be wary of those who overstate their skills. Keep your own skills sharp by pursuing every opportunity to be a student. Generate change by embodying enthusiasm.

Spirituality

Embrace a new faith. In addition to pursuing what feels right, plumb the depths. Invest time pursuing the roots of your spiritual practice. Become well-grounded in what you believe, so you’ll be well-prepared to explain your practice to others.

Page of Cups’ Symbols & Insights

Awkwardness and Silliness

Most Rider–Waite–Smith-inspired cards will feature a young man in impractical attire—clothing suggesting a lack of connection with sober reality. The Page of Cups wants to play the part of the confident lover or spiritual leader, but lacks the experience required for such a role.

Something Fishy

In many decks, a playful fish peeks out of the Page’s Cup. How might you recapture your own sense of wonder at the surprises served up by daily life?

Making an Impression

Whatever you set out to do, some will be delighted and some will doubt you. Since you can’t please everyone, why not abandon extreme strategies and just be yourself?

The Marseilles Image

The Page of Cups walks stiffly, as though taking great care not to spill a single drop of his Cup’s contents. His eyes are fixed on the Cup, the whole Cup, and nothing but the Cup. How might narrow focus be setting you up for a fall?
