Symbolic Meaning

The woman in the cup symbolizes desire: when one's own physical and spiritual strength is not enough, the solution is to seek a man. The search for help, for participation.

Visual Description

A large ornate chalice fills the center of the image; a nude woman lounges inside the cup with her legs raised and hair tumbling out, while a nearly nude man crouches beneath and supports the heavy goblet. The man wears a green turban and strains with effort as he holds the base, his expression tense. A single smaller chalice symbol appears at the top center of the card against a violet-blue background. The ground is bare and the palette contrasts warm flesh tones with cool, deep sky colors, giving the scene a theatrical quality.
