This — an actor by vocation, and often by profession. He always feels «on stage». A poet, thirsty for public recognition, a charming swindler, generally a person with a rich imagination. However, there is a danger that he will remain an amateur in all his activities, unable to concentrate on one thing. He will have to endure many trials before he learns to correctly evaluate himself.

In the upright position means the possibility of settling some conflict, reconciliation.

In the inverted position — also reconciliation, but short-lived («armed truce»).

Like the other three jacks, the Jack of Cups represents some kind of impulse, push, chance. In this case, it can be an invitation to participate in a pleasant activity or a gesture of love and reconciliation. Either way, it is an initiative from others that appeals to our feelings, and we accept it with joy and gratitude. The card represents the beginning of peace after a quarrel or conflict, sympathy shown to us in difficult times, and sometimes someone's spiritual impulse that turns into falling in love for us. This impulse is usually pure and sincere, and only if other cards say otherwise should we treat it with caution.

WORK: Here the Jack of Cups promises us something new, and this new thing will not only be useful, but also pleasant, and perhaps even flattering. This could be an award, recognition, well-deserved praise, or some news about work that confirms the high assessment of our abilities. Or an invitation to a friendly party in a small circle, or, for example, an offer from an older and respected comrade to switch to «you» with him. Sometimes this is good advice or friendly help, thanks to which we will be able to cope with our task much better.

CONSCIOUSNESS: Friendly impulses and ideas come to us, helping us to better understand the situation. This could be consolation or support in difficult times, sympathy about our troubles and problems, or spontaneous gestures that awaken deep feelings in us and a thirst for new development. Cups symbolize the element of water, which can also mean wise advice or a message that comes to us during meditation or other appeal to higher powers.

PERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS: A friendly, conciliatory gesture from a partner. A fresh breeze after a period of quarrels and conflicts, or simply the attraction of one soul to another. At the event level, it can mean a marriage proposal.

Court cards have a dual interpretation. On the one hand, they represent those aspects of your personality that are worth paying attention to in a given situation. On the other hand, court cards represent other people. They tell about your relationships with them. When many court cards appear in a layout, this indicates that many people are involved as participants in a particular situation.
