the Ace of Cups
This is a card of contentment and inner peace and alludes to one who seeks out and can find happiness in all things and every corner of existence. In one reading, the Ace of Cups relates to the sensory realm, what can be touched, smelt, seen, heard, and tasted in this world. This could be understood as a focus on beauty, art, food, music, physical intimacy. It advocates appreciating the world, in Hemmingway’s phrasing, as ‘a Moveable Feast’.
