Visual description
A green-skinned figure with long blue hair stands amid water and dense plants. Vines and small reddish growths cover their arms and torso, and strands of hair fall like streams into a pool below. They hold an ornate golden chalice set with colorful gems in both hands at chest level. The pale green background curls with leaves, and the figure wears a faint smile while gazing toward the cup.
Meaning
Like a rusalka surfacing at a moonlit spring, the Ace of Cups offers living water to a heart ready to receive. This is the first unguarded breath after a storm, the cup refilled with tenderness, gratitude, and the courage to feel. New love, reconciliations, soulful friendships, and creative currents begin to flow when you accept the offered chalice. Let compassion spill over; speak blessings, write, sing, and allow intuition to carry you like a river through reeds. If you have been parched, this card promises refreshment and the chance to heal old wounds by letting them be bathed in gentle waters. Reversed, the cup turns inward or leaks: emotions are corked, the well is muddy, or generosity is poured into people who cannot hold it. Watch for clinging spirits of the past that try to lure you back into numbness; set boundaries, practice self-love, and clear the spring. When you honor what you truly feel, the waters brighten, and the rusalka becomes guide rather than siren—then the heart overflows in the best of ways.
