Upright Meaning
Creative opportunityIntuitive messageCuriosityImagination
A young figure in ornate clothes stares with surprise at a fish popping out of their golden cup. The fish is unexpected — a message from the unconscious, an intuition that arrives unbidden. The Page of Cups is the dreamer, the poet, the child who sees magic in ordinary things. This card often heralds an unexpected emotional or creative message: a confession, an invitation, an idea that swims up from depths you didn't know you had.
Reversed Meaning
Emotional immaturityCreative blockEscapismInsecurity
Reversed, the Page of Cups indicates emotional immaturity or creative escapism. The dreamy quality becomes avoidance; the imagination becomes a hiding place. You may be using fantasy to avoid dealing with real feelings, or someone in your life is emotionally unreliable — charming but never quite present.
