The Turbo Tarot Suit of Cups explained

What is the Suit of Cups?

The Suit of Cups is one of the four suits in the Minor Arcana, consisting of 14 cards. It's all about your feelings. Your emotions, how they're tied to your relationships, and how you connect with the people around you.

Love is a common theme when it comes to Cups, but it's all-encompassing. Cups can represent friendships, family, your relationship with yourself, and even how emotionally invested you are in your work.

Think about how much of your everyday life is influenced by your feelings. Sometimes, emotions help us make the right decisions. Other times, they get in the way. The Cups encourage us to look at how we're feeling and whether we're offering our emotional energy to the right things.

What do Cups mean in a love reading?

Cups are probably the most obvious suit to encounter in a love reading because they're so closely connected to emotions and relationships. But that doesn't mean every Cups card is about falling in love.

The Two of Cups might encourage you to think about mutual understanding in a relationship. Are you both putting in the same amount of effort? Are you actually listening to each other? Is there equilibrium?

The Four of Cups could suggest emotional boredom. Maybe things have become a little too predictable, or you're struggling to appreciate what's already in front of you. That helps to open up new questions and actions in your relationship. From you, or your significant other.

So on and so forth. Whether you're single, dating, or in a long-term relationship, Cups can help you reassess your emotional needs and how you connect with others.

What do Cups mean in a work reading?

Work isn't always about money, deadlines, and productivity. We spend a significant part of our lives working (too much, really). So naturally, there's a lot of emotion involved.

Maybe you love what you do. Maybe you're completely burned out. Or maybe you're somewhere in between, wondering whether you should stay or look for something new.

The Three of Cups could encourage you to appreciate the people you work with and the support you receive from your colleagues. So maybe think less about getting more money and just be satisfied with the energy other people bring to you at the workplace, where you spend a significant amount of time every day.

And the King of Cups could remind you to approach a difficult workplace situation with emotional maturity rather than reacting impulsively. We tackle a job at 21 differently than when we're 31, or 41. Cups in a work reading encourage you to think beyond your salary and job title. How does your work make you feel? And is it worth the emotional energy you're putting into it?

How can you use Cups in a tarot reading?

You don't need to memorize all 14 Cups cards to understand what they're telling you. When you start a reading on Turbo Tarot, you'll reveal three cards that help you assess where you are now, what you should focus on, and what you should avoid.

If you draw a Cups card, think about the emotional side of your situation. Are you listening to your feelings? Are you giving too much of yourself to someone or something? Or have you been ignoring what you actually need?

Sometimes, the answer is pretty obvious. Other times, you might need a little more time to figure it out. And feelings, as always, can get uncomfortable. What's important is that you let it out and do not let it bottle up.

Either way, the point of Turbo Tarot isn't to let the cards make decisions for you. It's to take a moment to understand your emotions before making those decisions yourself.
