The Card of the Day: The Page of Cups
“Creativity.”
Order my full book on Amazon!
The Page of Cups symbolizes the creative inner-child. This is the part of you that can still be amazed with wonder and curiosity at the world around you. Everybody has creative energy, and it is expressed differently by every individual. The Page of Cups invites you to play, be inspired, and create something beautiful. The Page of Cups follows his heart. He is the sensitive poet of the tarot. He also adores “imp-like” pranks.
Do you avoid your creativity because you feel you aren’t an artist? Do you remember the joy of being creative as a child? Do you ever just let loose and allow yourself to play?
If the Page of Cups were 100 years old, he would still find time to play. He is the archetype of the creativity. He is dressed in pink and blue. Pink is the color of love, harmony, kindness, and the heart. Blue is the color of communication, healing, creativity, and depth. He is a master at communicating his feelings through creativity. He lightens the hearts of others, through words and deeds. His creative expression gives voice to feelings others have trouble articulating.
Like many children, he’s taken his pet along with him where he isn’t supposed to. In this case it’s his fish, representing depth, and creative wisdom, and luck. The water lilies on his tunic symbolize that he blossoms in the realm of feelings and emotions. He is very sensitive, but often is having too much of a good time to sit about moping.
When the Page of Cups appears, your creative inner-child wants some attention! If you give in, you’re sure to have a lot of fun. Children trust in the magic of making stuff to express themselves. They love to draw pictures, paint Easter eggs, and are so proud of turkeys made from hand tracings. They never say, “Well I’m sorry I can’t paint today, because I’m not perfect at art.” They dive right in because it’s fun! It also keeps them too busy to think of scary things like sharks, bogymen, or monsters lurking in the closet. Keeping your creative mind occupied keeps it from imagining frightening things.
When the Page of Cups appears, tune out the inner critic that all too often whispers in your ear. Do something expressive just for the joy of it. Make your house more vibrant and colorful. Do something crafty, make something, play, spend some time teasing a big baby (especially a grown up one).
Let your creativity be a channel for feelings that need to find expression.
*Page of Cups in a Love Reading
New Relationship
The appearance of the Page of Cups can signify a magical new connection. A feeling of safety and vulnerability arises when you are with your new love interest. Although this person is wise on many levels, there is also a part of them that has not yet matured. The Page of Cups may advise you to let go of all future relationship plans and just enjoy playing for now. Have fun!
Long Term Partnership
The Page of Cups can symbolize a union that feels eternally young. It is important for you and your partner to play and create. If your relationship is becoming dull; playful humor is the antidote. The Page of Cups can also signify a time where you or your partner are more vulnerable than usual. Be sensitive and understanding when communicating.
Seeking Romance
If you are single, the Page of Cups is leading you toward opportunities to connect with others through art, music, creativity, or play. Participate in activities where you can let go of self-criticism. Your playfulness and creativity will be your most attractive asset.
