I love this post! I don’t have a ton of experience with tarot cards, but I have been having a strong feeling that I am pregnant, so I looked to my cards for an answer *too early to test accurately*. I envisioned my question, shuffled the cards, then with my eyes closed cleared all the cards away except for one. When I turned it over it was the ace of cups!! I truly hope I have my answer :)
Hi Anna,
The Ace of Cups is a lovely card in any situation. As well as pregnancy, it can denote fertility, the beginning of anything connected with love. If you draw a few cards together in a larger spread, seeing any of the following with the Ace of Cups, Empress, 3 of Cups and the Ace of Wands can reinforce the interpretation of pregnancy. Seeing the Ace of Cups in isolation can indicate that you are particularly fertile at this time. I believe the future is not set in stone, so while you have seen this ace and have a strong a feeling towards being pregnant, take your future into your own hands and make sure you’re doing everything you can to become pregnant ;)
I hope it goes well!
Catherine
