TAROVERIE / COLORS

Tarot colors

Color is one part of a card’s visual language. Find the color first, then read the object, gesture and surrounding scene.

These nine entries compare colors in the Rider–Waite–Smith deck. Associations vary by deck, tradition and printing; a color alone is not a prediction.

CUPS

Cups

Reception · Expression

A hand supports the Ace of Cups while liquid passes its rim toward water, with a bird above. The vessel is a meeting of reception and outflow.

Containment can give feeling room for expression while retaining boundaries. Overflow is not unlimited giving and cannot establish someone’s love or predict a relationship.

Ace of Cups

A hand supports the Ace of Cups while liquid passes its rim toward water, with a bird above. The vessel is a meeting of reception and outflow. People hold separate cups in the Two; cups remain behind the departing figure in the Eight. The same implement can belong to exchange or departure. A suit name cannot replace its position.

Hotspots come from this published card; never transplanted onto another deck.
