The Page of Cups is the Princess of the Waters and the Lotus of the Palace of the Floods - she is aligned with the water signs of Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces. She represents new emotional territory and self trust. She will bring you emotional freedom if you let her, and a renewal of your capacity to love. This often starts with learning how to love yourself, which is the only true way you can receive love from others, for if you feel you can't love yourself , you will not believe it when others say that they love you. This new learning may herald a time of withdrawal, so the delicate feelings that are beginning to blossom are not crushed by the attention - however well-meaning - of others. Meditation and walks in nature, especially by the ocean, river or stream, are restorative to the emotions, as the moving water synchronises with your own waters of your body. The Pages often bring us messages, and this one can bring messages of love, creativity and spirituality - all the provence of Water. There are often hunches, intuition and vivid dreams now, and this is your unconscious wanting to communicate with you - it will help you to listen. When you write down your dreams and fantasies, your unconscious will respond to you and bring you even more helpful information. The Page of Cups also brings happy news, especially in areas pertaining to the heart. It can mean the birth of a special and sensitive child who will be important to your spiritual growth and fulfillment. As a person, this Page is...
