Instructions
Write self-tests before you begin to study the Tarot cups suit. Create questions focusing only on the ace and court cards, which marks the halfway point of your studies. Then write tests only for the number cards and finally, for the suit as a whole.
Consider the cups suit as a whole. It corresponds to the element of water and governs the emotions. These cards especially refer to messages about love. You can be sure the client is interested in romance if these cards dominate the spread.
Journal about the cards. Write poems or tell stories if that will help you remember them. Use the card's meaning as a basis for an essay where you discuss how it pertains to your own life or someone you know.
Concentrate on the court cards first, since it's easier to use your imagination with them. The page offers a service while the knight makes an invitation. The queen is a mother figure and the king means someone trustworthy will come along to help the client.
Remember that the ace is always a symbol of new beginnings. The overflowing cup on well-known Tarot decks such as Rider-Waite and Thoth show an abundance of love.
Take the self-test that focuses on the court cards and the ace. You need to be able to describe the cards and remember their central meanings.
Tackle the pips last. Some of the number correspondences are easier than others to memorize. The Two of Cups, for instance, is about romance. The Three of Cups may refer to a relationship where three people are involved, such as mother, father and child.
Complete the self-test for the entire Tarot suit of cups. You should be able to describe each card and know its main messages. There should also be questions that ask you to interpret combinations of two and three cards. This helps you appreciate the suit as a whole.
