Tarot Cups

Cups represent the value of life. The value reflects whether you are finding happiness or sadness in your day to day life.  If you are happy then the small problems you encounter are easily overcome. If you are sad or discouraged, then those small obstacles become mountains.

The cup symboloqy portrays how you are feeling in relation to this value you cannot see, touch or smell. The ten of cups represents if you are happy in your life. The Ace of Cups shows through a new attitude you can find contentment. The five of cups appear overturned demonstrating the sorrow in life, but within the symbol you learn you must look ahead not back.  You cannot learn anything or have value within your life by sitting still or looking back.    It is In the future that happiness lies. Therefore always work towards having a life in which you are happy and contented.
