Page of Cups Description and Symbolism

We come across a younger boy or girl holding a golden cup. In the golden cup is a fish peeking up out of the cup. The Page of Cups is staring intently at the fish.

There is a wavy sea behind the Page of Cups and a clear sandy beach. In tarot, water always symbolizes the subconscious and emotions. The slightly rough sea denotes wishy washy emotions. They can be slightly turbulent at times. He is just at the beginning of mastering his/her emotions. The sky is clear.

The Page is dressed a little oddly. He is wearing that funny round hat with the sweeping scarf coming down and across his shoulder. The hat is blue. His jumper is also blue, but has pretty pink tulips on it running down in a row. His inner frock is pink. His golden boots match the trim around his armholes and his cup. We get the impression that he takes time and consideration into his wardrobe. He is fashion forward and could even enjoy fashion design and sewing.

When the Page of Cups comes up in a reading, you could be contemplating whether to take something to the next level. You should do it! The Page is the culmination of the Ace through 10 of Cups, so something you’ve avoided maturing or something you have been currently nurturing should be elevated.

Be playful and fun. Take a creative moment to stay in touch with your child-like side. Pets, children and creative arts all fall in the realm of the Page of Cups. Speculation and gambling as well! You could take a risk playing some games and win!
