# PAGE OF CUPS One of the more peculiar cards in the tarot, we see the Page of Cups looking inquisitively at a fish that’s peering out of the gold cup in the Page’s hand. The fish appears as if trying to engage the Page in conversation, and the Page is entertaining the idea, open to new and curious possibilities. The blue and red of the Page’s tunic represent a balance of calm and passion, and the floral print evokes creativity. His orange boots show enthusiasm and energy; he’s excited to learn from the fish and run with new ideas. Behind the Page is a rolling sea, symbolic of emotions, flow, and creativity. The Page of Cups shows that inspiration can come from the most unlikely places if we remain open and curious. ## 키워드 **정방향 (Upright):** Curiosity, new possibilities, idealism, inner child, intuition, unexpected opportunity or inspiration, new outlook, sensitivity, creativity, artistry **역방향 (Reversed):** Creative blocks, shattered dreams, emotional instability or immaturity, disappointment, doubting ideas or intuition, afraid to face reality, childish, naïve, lives in a fantasy world ## BEGINNINGS ### 정방향 (Upright) Did you dream up the most exciting new idea?!
