Page of Cups

The flowers on the Page's outfit are symbolic of growth while the flat surface he stands on is symbolic of being level headed.  The waves behind the Page are symbolic of emotion so while the Page is attempting to appear calm, cool, and like he has it all together, inside is a bit unsettled about things.  This is something that we all experience from time to time.

Taking some advice from the fish, the fish goes with the flow but it can also sense the slightest disturbance and run for cover, if you will.  Perhaps this is an indication that even though we might find ourselves in an uncomfortable situation now, rather than running away from the challenge, now would be the time to face the challenge and deal with the situation.  We just might find that the situation was not as bad as we thought.

The Page of Cups shows us a young person standing on even ground, starring into a cup with a fish in it.  In the background, there are waves of water.

Water is a symbol for emotions, waves are a symbol for trouble or an unpleasant situation.  The red on the young persons outfit symbolizes passion.  So while there is a temptation of assessing the unpleasant situation and making rash decisions to get out and move on, this could be a prime opportunity for personal growth, symbolized by the flowers on the outfit.

Part of this growth experience will cause you to rely on your intuition, as symbolized by the fish.  The fish senses, reacts, and follows the current - sometimes the way out is the way through.  Don't be afraid to test the currents, they might take you to a different place that you originally expected.
