Page of Cups
sensitivity, tenderness, creativity
A young man holds a cup with a little fish peeking out of it, and stares at it in wonder. Sensitivity, imagination and the ability to be amazed. It can announce news of the heart, or a gentle, dreamy person.
The image and its symbolism
A young page in a flower-patterned tunic and a blue hat stands at the edge of the sea. He holds a cup with a little fish poking out, and looks at it with curiosity, as if it were talking to him. Behind him, the waves roll gently. The fish coming out of the cup is intuition, the ideas that are born from what you feel. The sea is the unconscious and the imagination.
