We just turned the corner into Fall 🍂 and the newness of the season is in the air. There are the normal things: leaves changing color, daylight ending earlier, and wearing your favorite jacket that takes the edge off that chill. Then there’s the intuitive new stuff—you know, your spidey sense—the awareness that things are shifting and opening. What’s new for you? The Ace of Cups is a fresh start, a new beginning . . . let’s dive deeper.
Your First Love
Each Ace sits at the beginning of its suit and acts as a doorway. Aces are the root force, the spark or seed of the suit. Like rockets ready to launch, they are filled with potential and active energy waiting to be used.
Cups are the suit of water and represent emotions, sensitivity, creativity, empathy, imagination, compassion, intuition, and psychic skills.
Ace of Cups is a new heart-centered start. While this may relate to a relationship, the appearance of this card is not an omen that your Prince or Princess Charming is arriving in the next Uber.
What the Ace of Cups truly means is to begin again with your first love. No, I’m not talking about your grade school crush. I’m talking about the person looking back at you in the mirror. I’m talking about YOU. You are the original.
Ace of Cups is a reminder that love is surrounding you all the time. The tricky part is opening your eyes and allowing yourself to see it.
It’s been said that love is the most powerful and effective emotion known to man. With the Ace of Cups, we are called to choose ourselves, to love ourselves in a deeper way than we ever have. To move forward with an open heart and mind.

A Gift From the Heart
This past week, I did two readings with clients who have never experienced a tarot reading before. Sharing the new experience of tarot with a client is truly a gift from the heart. It’s so inspiring to see the stories in the cards show up in real-time. One client revealed that for the first time in her life she was finally free to pursue the career of her choosing. She decided it was time to stop sacrificing her own happiness in exchange for meeting the expectations and approval of her family. She was living out an Ace of Cups moment! It was powerful.
As we move into spooky 👻 October let’s sweep those cobwebs away to get some clarity as you look forward to what is new and unfolding for you. And, let’s do it with ❤️ heart.
Ask yourself these two questions:
- How would your life feel if you approached everything with a completely open heart?
- How can you give yourself the compassion, love, and understanding that you need right now?
The Ace of Cups is full of possibilities and being the element of water, love is the essence.
Here are some ways the loving energy of the Ace of Cups can work for you:
- get in touch with your feelings
- let your heart lead the way
- empathize with others
- trust your inner voice
- go with your gut instinct
- open yourself to others
- let your love light shine
- give to those in need
- get rid of the negativity
- forgive and forget
Allow the power of your emotions to guide you in a new direction.
Choose this doorway. Embrace the Ace of Cups.
Ever upward!
