Ace of Cups

Element: Water

The Ace of Cups is the most symbolically rich among all Aces in the Minor Arcana and marks the most auspicious beginning for relationships. It often signifies the start of a new romance or a joyful and fulfilling period in one’s life—where one can open the heart, embrace happiness, and express love and care freely.

This card design is based on the Year of the Snake theme. While retaining symbolic elements from the original Rider–Waite Ace of Cups, it reinterprets them creatively: a dragonfly replaces the dove, a green snake with lotus patterns curls around the cup, and streams of water gush into the pool like a fountain. The overall color scheme is refined and fresh—evoking a GUCCI-inspired aesthetic.
