Copas Flashcards
As de copas derecho
General: Things are looking up! In general, people will respond to you with happiness, love, and goodwill, more than usually in the near future. You should be feeling good about life in general. This is a great time to make friends.
Work: This can signify a promotion and/or new, good job headed your way. If you are already employed you should know that both you and your work are appreciated and valued - and you should see signs of this soon. If you are unemployed (or looking for a new job) then you need to keep looking for new opportunities. They are out there - all you have to do is find them.
Love: Again, this is an excellent omen regarding love; either an existing relationship is going to take a turn for the better. Indeed for an existing relationship this could be a deeper level of understanding, or commitment, or almost any important aspect of a relationship. It will feel almost like a new and encouraging start. If you are as yet uncommitted, a new relationship is likely to appear soon.
Finances: This augurs good possibility for money, in the context of “something new.” It could mean that you will find a new job if you are looking for work, or some extra work on the side that you could do if you are already working, or even that you will be given a gift of some money to help you out. Definitely, again, good news.
Health: Your health is likely to take a turn for the better; you should be feeling healthy and full of energy.
Spirituality: The Ace of Cups shows a need for you to “give back” some of the love that you have been given in life/that you are experiencing. This is also a connection to the divine….on a spiritual level, meditate on the idea that you are a beloved child of the universe, and feel the support that comes to you “from the other side,” as it is always there, all you have to do is look for it.

General: Look at where you feel some blockages in life, and consider how you might act to remove those blocks and get the energy flowing again. Try to understand what is causing those blockages so that you can do something positive and constructive about them. Think it through thoroughly before taking action.
Work: Work should be going well. If you are looking for new employment or trying to make a change, you should see some signs of progress in weeks to come, although not immediately. Hang in there.
Love: The reversed Ace of Cups is not a bad omen, but it can indicate that things aren’t quite where they need to be for your love life to really thrive. Look at yourself, first. Have you truly dealt with everything necesary to allow you to live life with an open heart? If you’re in a love relationship, it may not be one that is best for you. Think about what you really want and need in life. Get help if you need it.
Finances: You may have an emotional bond to or about your work which is not serving you well personally now. Are you staying in an unhappy job situation because you have feelings for the people/persons involved? Take a moment to consider what you want and need. Change is not always bad.
Health: The reversed Ace of Cups tells you that your health in general is probably pretty good, and may be likely to take a turn for the better. Self-esteem and self-love can be an important predictor of health. Is yours where it needs to be?
Spirituality: The Reversed Ace of Cups shows a need for you to be more proactive about loving yourself. If you don’t love and care for yourself, just as you are, today, how can you expect other humans to do so? Being kind to yourself is important. Consider your connections to the spiritual world. You may need more time alone to meditate.
2 de copas derecho
General: In general this is a card that says that things are likely to be going well. You should be feeling more than usually loved, cared for, and content.
Work: This shows that you are likely to be appreciated in your workplace and should be feeling comfortable there, at least to a large degree even if you don’t particularly like your job. If looking for employment, this can mean that you are going to find it very soon.
Love: This card represents true love, balanced partnership, commitment, and all of the things that most of us hope for in regard to love and relationship. However, this does not mean that you can just do or say “whatever” and that your love/relationship will last; it only means that the underpinnings, the real, solid, potential for true love and affection is there. If you are “looking for love,” this is a signal that it is very likely to be headed your way very soon. Relax.
Finances: In relation to finance, the 2 of Cups indicates balance and fairness. You may not be “rolling in money” but at least for the moment and the near future, you should be finding that, at bare minimum, you have more than enough money to “meet your obligations,” which is a start.
Health: If you are facing particular health problems, this can indicate a need for you to find a partnership with a healer that you trust and that you can “work well” together with. This is also a fairly good omen when it comes to health - you are also likely to be keeping a positive attitude which is very important (and supportive) of good health.
Spirituality: You are likely to be feeling “at one” with the energies of the universe and with yourself. This is one of the cards that represents the heart chakra and its’ opening. You should be feeling more than usually loving toward everyone and everything. Share that good energy, the world needs more of it!
2 de copas revés
General: In general the reversed 2 is a card that says that things are likely to be going well. However be careful that you are not causing problems in your platonic friendships by over attention to your love life.
Work: When you recieve the reversed 2 of Cups, you may find that suddenly you like your work a lot less, and you may feel that there are unpleasant similar feelings that your workmates may hold toward you. First of all don’t panic. This is possibly a passing phase. But if your work is truly not right for you, then you may need to start thinking of making a change. Trust your instincts.
Love: In general you will need to make sure you aren’t paying too much attention to love to the exclusion of all else when you recieve the reversed 2 of Cups. If you get this card when there are problems in a relationship, it may be time to forgive and forget over past problems. Start fresh.
Finances: The 2 of Cups reversed generally indicates balance and fairness with regard to money. If money is a problem for you, look at the state of your relationships with people that you work with. Is there something that you can do to improve your working relationships? This will very likely improve your money flow, also.
Health: If you are facing particular health problems, the reversed 2 of Cups can indicate a need for you to consider your feelings about allowing others to help you. You may be in need of some healing; but it may be hard for you to accept help. In general, the 2 reversed is still a fairly good omen when it comes to health. Keep a positive attitude which is very important for (and supportive of ) good health.
Spirituality: This is a time to work on your feelings of belonging with the energies of the universe and being at homewith yourself. This is one of the cards that represents the heart chakra and its’ opening. Find your joy, and your bliss, and share it. No one can do these things for you.

General: Be sure that you are “counting your blessings.” Don’t spend too much time in self-pity or wishing your life away. A lot of life has to do with where we put our focus. Put your focus on the things and people in your life that you have to be thankful for. Consider a gratitude journal.
Work: You may not like your job very much, but at least it keeps food on the table. In today’s modern throwaway age job security is a thing of the past. NO job is 100% secure as many have found out to their cost. Be thankful that you are not one of them. Remember that it is rare for any of us to ever be truly completely trapped.
Love: Look hard at yourself as to whether you are being realistic with regards to love. Do you have your heart set to the exclusion of everyone else? On someone who isn’t giving you very much back or who is quite literally unavailable?
Finances: Focus on your strengths, on what you do have and can do, not what you can’t do and don’t have. If you’re not where you want to be financially, make specific goals and plans about where that “is,” and then chart the steps it will take you to get there. Look your financial situation squarely in the eye (know exactly where you “are” financially) as this can only help you.
Health: Focus on the positive. If you are having physical problems, remember that things do not always have to be the way they are right now, health wise. Pay attention to diet, exercise, and making time to rest/eat healthfully. You may need to reach out to a trusted counselor or friend to get help in “moving beyond” where you are healthwise at the moment.
Spirituality: Wishful thinking can take it’s toll on the spiritual aspect of life, as when we are caught up in “poor me” thinking or “I wish things were different,” it tends to blind us to the beauty of what IS in our lives, right now. Stay constant and grounded in the present moment. If you can’t keep a “gratitude journal” and write down things you feel grateful for every day, at least make a list of twenty people/situations/things in your life that you are grateful for now. Thinking along these lines can elevate your “spiritual mindset” immensely, and quickly.
3 de copas derecho
General: In general, things should be going well. You can look forward to at least one pleasant reunion with someone or something that you have been apart from for some time. It also can mean celebration – your own or someone that you care about - such as the celebration around a new baby, wedding, or other happy occasion.
Work: The 3 of Cups is also a good omen with regard to work. Money should be coming in, you could be coming into a new job and/or a promotion. The mood in general in your working world should be relatively pleasant. If you are looking for work, you should be quite successful (perhaps surprisingly so) at how well things work out for you. So don’t give up.
Love: Although this card can mean a reunion with a lost love; it does not always indicate that. You must look carefully at the rest of the reading in context, to decide whether that interpretation fits. If you are single, the most likely interpretation is that you will meet a likely love soon - someone who really “fits the bill” of the person you are looking for, and that this person will be a new love, not someone you “used” to be with.
Finances: This is an important time to not be too attached to money. It will be flowing in fine; but may be going out just as fast or nearly as fast. It’s important to know that this is an abundant universe, that your needs (financial and otherwise) will be met, provided you play your part.
Health: This is a great time to consider what you are doing - and perhaps should be doing - to increase your health and vitality. Do you need more exercise? More rest? Think it through, and come up with a game plan. You can do better - if even only slightly - than what you are doing right now.
Spirituality: It may be important now, particularly if you usually attend to your spiritual side in solitude, to reach out to others. This can lead to a spiritual awakening. Think about whether or not you have need of a “spiritual teacher” (in the flesh) and if you do, seek one out! This can be any sort of trusted counselor, not even necessarily someone who identifies as a “spiritual leader.”
4 de copas revés
General: When the 4 of Cups reversed appears, this is a time to begin to get moving. This is not the time to be pitying yourself or giving in to the “if only’s.” Start where you are, and know that no matter what is happening, you can make a difference. Count your blessings.
Work: You may finally be getting the get-up-and go to get yourself out of an unhappy work situation. Good for you - you don’t need to do anything precipitate but if you look around you there will be opportunities for you to take. You can take your own life by the horns. Believe in yourself.
Love: You may finally be ready to move beyond the ghosts of your past and toward a brighter, happier love life in the future. Spend time thinking about what and who you really and truly need in your life. Look forward, not back.
Finances: If you look carefully around you, you will see opportunities that you hadn’t noticed before. Take some time to explore them. Your motivation should be higher than ever to get things good and make money. You can do it. Follow through.
Health: When you recieve the reversed 4 of Cups in relation to health and fitness, it’s saying that this is an excellent time to make some positive changes to your health care routine. Consider whether you need more excercise, better diet, or both. You can also bring yourself to see a practitioner now if you have been putting off needed check ups.
Spirituality: The reversed 4 tells you that you are breaking out of a rut and that’s a very good thing. Stay positive, explore new ways of learning about and caring for your spirit, pay attention to speakers and writers with a spiritual message, then see what it means to you personally. You don’t have to tend to your spiritual life like everyone else does.
3 de copas revés
General: The reversed 3 is still a very positive card, you can look forward to at least one pleasant reunion with someone or something that you have been apart from for some time. There is a sense of feeling supported by friends and family. Make a point to stay in touch with people now.
Work: With the 3 of Cups reversed, it’s important to consider how your personal relationships are going at work. Envy or jealousy can be an issue now. The mood in general in your working world should be relatively pleasant. If you are looking for work, you should be quite successful (perhaps surprisingly so) at how well things work out for you. So don’t give up.
Love: If you are in a committed relationship and recieve the reversed 3 of Cups, you may find that financial stresses are affecting your relationship. If you are single, you may very well meet a new romantic possibility through friends, make a point to get out and mingle (in groups!) if you are looking for love.
Finances: As with the upright 3 of Cups, this is an important time to not be too attached to money. What you are “worth” has nothing to do with the size of your paycheck. Money will likely be flowing in just fine; but may be going out just as fast or nearly as fast. Don’t allow yourself to give in to feelings of jealousy about other peoples’ finances. Just take care of your own.
Health: The reversed 3 indicates that you can learn a lot, and make some important strides in improving your health, by taking a look at what your friends and family members are doing to support and improve their health. Ask around. Don’t be proud.
Spirituality: The 3 of Cups reversed indicates that you can benefit from fellowship now in order to deepen your spirituality. Even if you consider your spiritual side to be intensely private and dislike talking with others about it, this is an excellent time to consider and learn from the experiences and attitudes of others to their spirituality. Reach out in whatever way you can.

General: In most tarot decks, most depictions on each card give solid guides toward interpretation, for this card, this is more than usually the case. Most often, a sad or downcast figure is shown, with five cups. Three are spilled, and two remain upright and whole. The implication is extremely clear; are you going to cry over “spilt milk” or are you going to focus on the “milk” you still have, and get on with things? The point is: watch where you put your focus and make sure that the focus is for your highest good.
Work: If you are trying to find work when this card comes up, try not to get too worked up if there are delays. Things with applications, resumes, and such, will likely be moving slowly. Be pro-active but not pushy. When this card appears (and the question is about work…) it can be a signifier that you are actually in the wrong job. Consider what you would like to be doing. Take steps toward making it happen.
Love: A love relationship you are in may have just ended or may be about to start the process of ending. You must realize that “all is not lost.” You are probably not yet ready to move into a new relationship. Give yourself some time and space…then get back out there. There will come a day when you realize that the reason this relationship ended was to get you to the place you “really want to be,” which is in a relationship that really works for you, and works well.
Finances: Worrying too much about money can actually have the opposite effect of what you are trying to “make happen” and that’s having a better flow of financial prosperity - that is, a flow in your favor. The way to get a handle on this worry is actually to be generous. You’re probably not as “bad off” as you think. Give something away, or make a small donation to a cause that you believe in.
Health: It’s critical that you keep a positive attitude. If you just “can’t get over” what someone “did to you” or what happened in your past, now is the time to get help in resolving these issues, before you cause yourself serious damage/pain by dwelling on your past. The past is gone. Focus on the present, and the future.
Spirituality: It’s important now to give some thought to forgiveness. You don’t forgive others for THEIR sake, or because they “deserve it,” necessarily, you do it for your own sake, because holding on to anger and pain is toxic and bad for you. Not only that, while you’re busy being angry and full of pain, the person you’re angry with, is often somewhere having a good time! So, now is the time to let go.
5 de copas revés
General: When you pull the reversed 5 of Cups, you may have just been through a difficult time. The good news is that your recovery seems to be moving along well. Keep moving, don’t get “stuck” in things that are already over and done with.
Work: Although things may have been tough with regard to work lately, you are beginning to figure out that the only person you can truly control or effect in the situation is yourself. Think positively, and consider what is truly right for you. Keep a great attitude and be civil. That and the best work you can produce is all they have a right to expect.
Love: With the reversed 5 of Cups, you are beginning to realize that you can have a happy and meaningful love relationship, period; you do not have to accept abuse or trying to twist yourself into a pretzel to make something work with an unsuitable partner. If you’re not yet feeling this way, you soon will be. Trust your instincts.
Finances: The reversed 5 reminds you to make a point to count your blessings and to be grateful for what you already have. Again, you are moving into a period where you are more in touch with who you really are and what you are really capable of “bringing to the table” in order to bring more prosperity into your life. Think positive, and cultivate your self esteem.
Health: As with the upright five in this context, It’s critical that you keep a positive attitude. If you just “can’t get over” what someone “did to you” or what happened in your past, now is the time to get help in resolving these issues, before you cause yourself serious damage/pain by dwelling on your past. Forgiving other people is not for their benefit; it’s for your own.
Spirituality: You are ready for a fresh spiritual start and you are likely to be feeling renewed very soon, if you are not sensing this already. Make a point to bring in new, and different information on spirituality which intrigues you. You can do this through meeting new people, obtaining information on different faith traditions, or even reading philosopy. allow yourself to have some “new information” to chew over.

General: It’s important not to spend too much time and effort thinking about the “good old days.” We all have happy memories to reflect on from time to time, but if we start thinking that the “best of all years have gone by”, then that can become a self fulfilling prophecy.
Work: This is an excellent time for work that involves some level of creativity. If your work does not, make a point to spend a little time drawing, painting, or writing, scrapbooking - whatever you fancy that allows a little creativity - in your personal time. Your day job will go better for you as a result.
Love: If you’re currently in a romantic relationship, this card can indicate that a relationship may need to be “refocused” toward the future. Talk about your goals and dreams. Try new things. It’s important now not to be stuck in the past. On occasion this card will signify the re-appearance of an old lover in your life. Think long and hard before re-starting an old romance. Exes are usually “exes” for a reason.
Finances: If you’re looking for ways to invest money, or to make a little extra money, pay particular attention to things that are retro or nostalgic, or things that appeal to children. Money may come to you from someone from your past or through inheritance (this of course does not mean that someone close to you is necessarily going to pass).
Health: If you’re experiencing health problems, the appearance of this card can mean that you need to truly go back to childhood to examine where the roots of your physical problems might lie. (Hint: the emotional is very often tied to the physical.) Talk therapy may be very useful. You may want to make a point to talk to family members about the physical problems that they have faced, and make sure that you have a clear idea of your family’s medical history.
Spirituality: Ritual of any kind can be helpful to you spiritually now. You may find beauty and meaning in re-creating some of the spiritual rituals that you knew as a child; this does not mean that you must go back to your earliest spiritual traditions and follow them exactly, updating and re-inventing your old traditions will serve you very well at this time.
6 de copas revés
General: The reversed 6 reminds us that we must stay focused on the present and the future instead of getting or staying “lost in the good old days.” Live for today.
Work: The honeymoon period may be over in your work life when you receive the reversed Six of Cups. However, this does not have to be a bad thing, it’s simply that your rose colored glasses are off now and you are seeing your surroundings more clearly. Think long and hard before deciding if you need to take some sort of action due to percieved wrongs in the workplace. Many battles are worth fighting, many are not. Trust yourself to know the difference.
Love: The reversed 6 of Cups says that you are likely to begin dealing soon with some issues that you’ve been avoiding with regards to love. If you are in a committed relationship, things that you had “swept under the rug” to keep harmony may resurface and need to be dealt with soon. If single and longing for love, the time has come to look at yourself and what you are doing (or not doing) to bring that love into your life. Love won’t just fall out of the sky; you do have to make an effort.
Finances: You have finally integrated the idea fully that in order for you to have a good flow of finances, that you must pay attention to money and your actions around it. If you need help with handling your finances well, don’t hesitate to ask for it. Get your money to working for you. Avoiding the issue only sets you back.
Health: When you draw the 6 of Cups reversed, you may have been “turning a blind eye” to things that you’ve needed to address for your health for some time now. You’ll find yourself ready, willing and able to address these challenges. You already know in your gut what you need to do. Time to do it.
Spirituality: This is a time to give thanks for the past but not to feel as though you must remain exactly who you were when you are younger. You have reached a point where it is important to look into other ways of exploring your spirituality, and where you can benefit from learning from the approaches that others take. Read, and listen, and you will benefit tremendously.

General: In general this card points to a need to narrow your focus. When it appears, you are probably trying to do too much, and doing most of it not very well. Choose just a few of the myriad things that are on your plate, and work through these items one by one, carefully. You may be feeling overwhelmed. Remember that you can control at least in some areas, how much you are trying to take on.
Work: If a business or work deal seems too good to be true, it probably IS too good to be true. Watch where you put your money and who you put your trust in. If you work (or want to work) in a creative field of some kind, this is an excellent omen for making good progress, however if your job or field is more precise, mathematical, and business like, this energy carries the warning that you may be spending too much time with your head in the clouds and need to refocus.
Love: You may have several romantic choices at hand. Be clear and specific about what you want in a relationship, evaluate your choices thoughtfully, be honest and as clear as you can be with all people involved (including yourself) then move ahead. Beware falling in love with the “heady rush” that happens only at the beginning of a relationship. In no relationship does that rush last forever. Good relationships, even soul mate relationships, will settle into a less “rush-based” comfort zone at some point. That does not mean that you have to stay in a rut.
Finances: This is not a good time to make financial investments. If you must, consult a professional or do a lot of homework, first. You may be too scattered businesswise (and this holds true particularly if you own your own business.) For maximum return, focus your efforts.
Health: Any symptoms that you are experiencing may be at least partially due to a lack of being grounded, but of course consult your doctor to be sure. Keep a journal of your symptoms and also of your thoughts. Physical exercise will help you stay grounded.
Spirituality: Visualize your most important goals and desires being met. Use positive affirmations and/or treasuremapping to help make your dreams come true. Keep a positive attitude. If you need help doing so, reach out for it. There are plenty of positive influences available to you, you just need to know where to look.
7 de copas revés
General: In general the reversed 7 of Cups says that you are making the choices that need to be made and are moving toward concrete and important action. Trust your gut; you’ve probably already realized that you have to start somewhere. Do so, and you will thrive.
Work: When the reversed 7 of Cups appears in a work context, you may need to watch out for someone in your environment who tends to take unnecessary risks and who may be less than truthful. Believe in yourself, if you sense something is wrong, it probably is.
Love: When is comes to love, this card in reverse says that you have finally gotten very clear about what you want and need from love, and are ready to take steps to make it happen. Follow your instincts. There is nothing wrong with making your feelings clear to someone that you care for. You may be very pleasantly surprised at their reaction. It’s better to take action sometimes than to spend your life in dreaming about “what if?” Again, trust your gut. If you think (and have evidence) that someone is not treating you right, then they aren’t.
Finances: In general the reversed 7 of Cups says that this is a time to be cautious with money, not to gamble. Yes, there are a million choices about what to do with your hard earned cash, but the energy of this time says that prudence and safety should be your overriding principals. You have or will shortly be making some important financial decisions. Decide, then follow through.
Health: The 7 of Cups reversed says that you have begun to realize what you can do to better support your health; you should have at least one or 2 very clear ideas. Trust them, (provided your health care providers agree) and stop thinking; the time for action is now.
Spirituality: You may be in the process of recovering from some spiritual trial. This is a time to take the actions that you know in your heart and soul that you must take, whether that’s forgiving yourself, forgiving others, or meditation. The answers you seek are within you. Find them, and take action.

General: Know that renewed good times lie ahead for you. If your “gut” is telling you that you really need to get out of a relationship, job, or living arrangement, trust yourself. Instead of this coming out of the blue, or someone or something leaving you, it usually means that you are the one who will make this choice. Very often one door has to close behind you before the next door in front of you can fully open.
Work: Your current job may no longer be appropriate for you. You may be feeling bored, or under-appreciated. Think long and hard about which is best; trying to fix things where you are, or moving on. Either option can work for you. One thing is for sure, though, things are not going to change for the better on their own. If you’re dissatisfied, get specific on what changes would need to happen for you to be happier where you are. If it’s unlikely or impossible to change those things, then get moving on finding yourself a new position. You can do it.
Love: You may decide that a long-term relationship is going to end. If you are sure about this, don’t wait for the right time, as there will never be a good time to tell someone that the relationship needs to be over. Don’t jump headlong into a new relationship; give yourself some time and space to be on your own, first.
Finances: If you are utterly miserable in your current line of work, don’t let the security of a regular paycheck tie you forever to the job; but look before you leap before getting out. Health insurance, particularly in the USA, is a huge concern. However, with foresight and planning, and attention to detail, if you want to work for yourself, you can make it happen. Just be sure your plans are well-laid and comprehensive. Money isn’t everything.
Health: Stress may be getting to you and causing health problems. Be sure that you are paying adequate attention to diet, exercise, and sleep. Keep a positive attitude.
Spirituality: You may need some time alone. Take it. You will find depth and wisdom in solitude, and in listening to the still, small voice inside.
