Session 7: The Minor Arcana | Cups: Emotion, Intuition & Relationships

Session 7: The Minor Arcana – Cups

Foundations of Tarot Series
Welcome to Session 7 of the Foundations of Tarot Series! In our previous session, we explored the grounded energy of Pentacles and how the suit reflects the tangible aspects of our lives.
Now, we’ll turn our attention to the Suit of Cups and the element of water, where we’ll explore the emotional and intuitive landscape of tarot.

In this session, we’ll take a deep dive into the Suit of Cups and discover how these cards speak to love, relationships, intuition, compassion, creativity, healing, and emotional well-being.

Together, we’ll explore the symbolism, themes, and progression of the suit so you can better understand how Cups appear in readings and the messages they communicate. The goal is to recognize the emotional depth within these cards and develop a greater understanding of how feelings, intuition, and connection influence our lives.

About Your Facilitator
Hi, I’m Vee, the reader behind That Priestess Tarot. I created this community because I believe tarot should be accessible, thought-provoking, and rooted in genuine discussion. Whether you’re opening your first deck or have been reading for years, my hope is that you’ll leave each session with a deeper understanding of the cards and of yourself.
