Ace of Cups Upright

Love is in the air! This is a time for new heartfelt connections imbued with a depth of emotion and soul-level satisfaction. If you've been single or unattached for a long time, expect the tide to turn as you open yourself up to all the possibilities of new love in your life. This could be a new romantic relationship, a new friendship, or something in-between. If you have a crush on someone, let them know how you feel!

If you're currently in a romantic partnership, this is a signal to take it to the next level: Open yourself up in a deeper way, express your affection, and speak from your heart in order to grow closer together. I am a big fan of the lost art of the love letter! Write down everything you adore about your love, spritz it with your fave fragrance, seal it with a kiss, and pop that baby in the mail! It's totally romantic in a charmingly old-school way.

Ace of Cups Reversed

When the Ace of Cups appears upside-down, it's time to focus on yourself and your own wellbeing. Your relationship with yourself sets the stage for all the other connections in your life, so it’s a must that you honor how incredible, magical, and valuable you truly are. After all, in the wise words of RuPaul, “If you don't love yourself, how in the hell you gonna love somebody else?”

If you're not receiving the type of love you are looking for, it’s time to go within and confront your own emotional availability or lack thereof. Are you closed off? Are your walls too high? Maybe you've been burned recently, or you're still dealing with trust issues due to a painful former relationship, and you're just not ready to begin a new relationship right now. That’s totally okay, sweetheart. Focus on healing your tender heart before jumping into the next romance.
