Overview
This is a card of new creative opportunity, fresh inspiration, curiosity and possibility. I’ve mentioned it before with the Page of Wands, but all the pages strike me as the cards of apprenticeship. They take the lessons of the numerical cards of the Minor Arcana that preceded them and manifest their potential into growth in the areas of life that each suit represents. In the case of the Cups, it’s emotion and creativity.
Symbolism
The fish reminds me of the Russian fairytale of the Golden Fish, leaping from the cup to commune with the human being and grant their wishes. The people asking for the wishes abuse the Golden Fish’s goodwill, and one day the Fish runs out of patience and takes her magic away, leaving the humans exactly where they started.
Lessons
Attaining our goals is not as simple as having a wish granted; it requires emotional growth, hard work and responsibility on our part. When opportunities present themselves, whether through our efforts on cultivating them or entirely out of the blue, it is still up to us to act upon them, to harness our inspiration, to follow our intuition and turn potential into reality. And so the page is already armed with tools for fulfilling her creative promise. It is up to her to use them.
