The INDIAN TAROTS – Knight of Cups

June 19, 2023

by Cardzz Solution with No Comment Tarot Meanings

The Knight of Cups engages the world with love and compassion. Calm and collected, it encourages you to create and to lead with wisdom.

The knight depicted in the card sits up straight on his horse and holds out a cup. The knight’s overall demeanor is calm and posed, like still water. He isn’t charging to battle. He isn’t acting brash. He is instead allowing his wisdom to guide him. The knight wears a coat of armor over a brown tunic. The armor appears more casual than most sets of armor. With the sheathed sword, the knight is ready to talk things out rather than fight.

The Garuda-wings on the knight’s helmet symbolize his connection with divine creativity. Garuda is a symbol of devotion, courage, hope, and perseverance. He is a devotee of Vishnu and helps promote Vaishnavism.

The cups horse is relaxed and trotting along the road. The knight holds out the obligatory cup. It is unclear if the cup is full of water or empty. It is also unclear if the knight is offering the cup to someone or requesting it to be filled. The knight can thus represent us in different times in our lives, like the two children in the Six of Cups. The river in the Knight of Cups appears to be a reiteration of the river in the Five of Cups. Whereas in that card the river was daunting to cross, in this card the river seems easy to cross. It is the Luni River (originated from Aravalli) in West India during summer. It pales in comparison to the size of the horse, who appears undisturbed by the coming water. The mountains (Aravalli) in the background are the obstacles and hardships that come up in life. Instead of running away from them, the knight faces the mountains head on.

Upright meaning

This card often represents romance, charm, and emotional intelligence. It suggests that you’re pursuing your goals with passion and enthusiasm, and that you’re able to connect with others on an emotional level. The card encourages you to be confident and assertive in pursuing your desires.

Reverse meaning

This card can indicate emotional immaturity, moodiness, or a lack of direction. You may be struggling to connect with others or to find direction in your life. The card suggests that you may need to work on developing your emotional intelligence and finding a sense of purpose.

The INDIAN TAROTS – Page of Cups

June 19, 2023

by Cardzz Solution with No Comment Tarot Meanings

The Page of Cups comes to the deck as a surprise as the fish comes to the page as a surprise. It is a card of epiphanies and new ideas. The card encourages the exploration of any new curiosity that comes to your mind, no matter how weird it may seem.

The Page of Cups begins the court cards in the cups suit. Everything about his posture suggest a light-hearted and relaxed nature. It brings to mind the childlike qualities of the Six of Cups. The fish is the spirit animal for the cups suit. The fish symbolizes happiness and creativity. It feeds into the greater metaphor of the cups suit, that water is a representation of our subconscious. The way the fish peeks from the cup, it reminds us the story of Manu and Matsya Avatar where the latter helped Manu to save mankind from the great flood.

The cups suit focuses on water. The fluidity of water illustrates our ranging emotions. The water cleanses us in a spirit of creativity and nourishes our deepest dreams. The page wears a tunic with designs of lotus on it. This design brings the page back to the Ace of Cups, the originator of the suit. The lotuses symbolize beauty emerging in often ugly places.

Upright meaning

This card often represents creativity, intuition, and emotional sensitivity. It suggests that you’re open to new experiences and emotions, and that you’re using your intuition and creativity to navigate your life. The card encourages you to trust your instincts and to explore your emotions.

Reverse meaning

This card can indicate emotional blocks, lack of creativity, or a need for grounding. You may be feeling like you’re not able to connect with your emotions or to find creative inspiration. The card suggests that you may need to work on finding ways to express yourself and connect with others.

The INDIAN TAROTS – Ten of Cups

June 19, 2023

by Cardzz Solution with No Comment Tarot Meanings

The Ten of Cups expands upon the themes found in the Ace of Cups and roots them in the family. This card illustrates unconditional love and encourages us to seek out peace within this world.

The adults reiterate the ideas first found in the Two of Cups. Together, the adults form a partnership based on mutual respect and understanding. While the Six of Cups was cautious about adult life, the Ten of Cups embraces it as something noble when done with the right mindset. The children in the card reiterate the harmony found in the Six of Cups without the caution of adult life. In this card, the family is bounded by love and affections. There is no division between adult and child life.

Just as the family shows no division between ages, the countryside shows no division between nature and humankind. In the countryside, civilization lives side by side with nature, symbolized by the house in the background. As previously mentioned, this card is about harmony.

What better way to illustrate that harmony than with a rainbow, the symbol of harmony between God and creation. The rainbow is also a symbol of creativity and love, two important themes in the suit of cups. The arrangement of the cups in a semi-circle in the rainbow is an instant callback to the Nine of Cups. Whereas in that card, the cups were artificially arranged on a shelf, in this card, they are supernaturally arranged in a rainbow. Their positions recall the divine origin of the Ace of Cups and reveal the supernatural harmony within the card.

Upright meaning

This card often represents emotional harmony, love, and happiness. It suggests that you’re experiencing a deep sense of emotional connection with others and that your relationships are bringing you joy and fulfilment. The card encourages you to appreciate the love and happiness in your life.

Reverse meaning

This card can indicate emotional conflict, disconnection, or a lack of harmony. You may be experiencing tension or conflict in your relationships, or you may be feeling disconnected from loved ones. The card suggests that you may need to work on finding ways to communicate and resolve any issues.

The INDIAN TAROTS – Nine of Cups

June 19, 2023

by Cardzz Solution with No Comment Tarot Meanings

Called the wish card, The Nine of Cups illustrates our fulfilled desires. The gap in the Eight of Cups is filled and the figure sits with confidence and satisfaction. Whenever you accomplish something great, remember to enjoy it.

The figure in the Nine of Cups is the polar opposite to the one in the Eight of Cups. While the previous figure walked away from his cups, this one proudly displays them in the visiting spot of Ajanta Caves (Maharashtra). He sits on a stone bench that was carved thousands of years ago in this UNESCO heritage site, with his arms crossed, exuding confidence. He embraces the cups given to him, without a hint of unsatisfaction.

The red hat that the figure wears is a symbol for his passion and vitality. The white robe illustrates the figure’s purity. Due to the figure’s stance and the trophy-like display of his cups, the card could be interpreted and a depiction of pride. The figure’s robe however complicates that interpretation and suggests that the figure has a healthy amount of confidence rather than ego. The alignment of the cups appears to be a reiteration of the Four of Cups. While in that card, an additional cup was required to perfect the alignment, in this card, no additional cup is needed. All nine of them stand in a symmetric semi-circle, raised as if in a toast.

Upright meaning

This card often represents emotional satisfaction, happiness, and contentment. It suggests that you’re experiencing a sense of fulfilment and joy in your life, and that your emotional needs are being met. The card encourages you to celebrate your achievements and to enjoy the moment.

Reverse meaning

This card can indicate emotional dissatisfaction, greed, or excess. You may be feeling like you’re not getting what you want or that you’re constantly searching for more. The card suggests that you may need to focus on appreciating what you have and finding balance in your life.

The INDIAN TAROTS – Eight of Cups

June 19, 2023

by Cardzz Solution with No Comment Tarot Meanings

Like the Five of Cups, the Eight of Cups illustrates a sense of melancholy. In the card, a figure walks away from the cups, signalling a departure from the previous cards which were all about embracing the cups. As the figure walks into the unknown, so do we as we persist in the Tarot journey.

In the card, a figure is walking away from the cups and towards the adjacent mountains. It is unclear who this figure is. Is it you walking away from the eight cups? Is it somebody else walking away from you? While the figure in the Seven of Cups had a lot choices, this figure abstains from any choice.

In the sky, there are symbols for both the sun and the moon. While the sun typically illustrates our consciousness, the moon typically illustrates our subconsciousness. In the sky together, they represent the paradox of our total psyche.

The mountains (Aravalli and Satpura) depicted on the card represent the difficulties in our journey. The figure in this card seeks to overcome the obstacles in his way.

There is the pyramid of cups beside Luni River that flows near Satpura. There is also a gap between two cups. This gap furthers the sense of loss and unsatisfaction that plagues the whole card. The figure is searching for what is missing.

Upright meaning

This card often represents moving on, letting go, and spiritual growth. It suggests that you’re ready to leave behind something that no longer serves you, whether it’s a relationship, a job, or a belief. The card encourages you to trust your intuition and to follow your heart.

Reverse meaning

This card can indicate stagnation, resistance to change, or fear of the unknown. You may be holding onto something that you know is no longer good for you, or you may be afraid to take the next step. The card suggests that you may need to take a leap of faith and trust that everything will work out.

The INDIAN TAROTS – Seven of Cups

June 19, 2023

by Cardzz Solution with No Comment Tarot Meanings

The Seven of Cups is all about choices. A figure stands before an array of tempting gifts for the figure to choose from. Wisdom and discernment are required to sort the cautionary tales from the genuine treasures.

A figure stands before the cups, shrouded in a shadow. The blankness of the figure allows everyone to see themselves in the shadow. The figure is thus mysterious, yet familiar, like most of Tarot cards. The clouds in this card reiterates the divine intervention of the Ace of Cups and multiplies it by seven. The clouds also reveal that the card lies within the realm of the imagination. It is a dreamlike place where our desires are laid before us.

While the figure is a mystery, the head is recognizable. It is a symbol of beauty and warns against narcissism. The blue head encourages you to see yourself in the figure, not in some artificial form of beauty.

The castle is a classical representation of home and security. While these things are naturally desired, the castle also warns against being out of touch with the common man.

Jewellery is the classical treasure that tempts everyone. Instead of desiring wealth, look for something more substantial, more real.

The crown is a symbol of victory and authority. Kings use to wear them. While everyone desires for success, one must not win the world just to lose your soul.

The dragon might not be what it seems. To a western audience, a dragon is something to be feared. To an eastern audience, however, a dragon is considered good luck. It is unclear which type of dragon this one is. Perhaps the possibilities are too risky.

The Snake is another dragon-like figure. Snakes are seen as conniving and evil. Also, snakes are seen as wise creatures, their skin shedding seen as a metaphor for enlightenment.

The last cup contains something shrouded from the figure, hidden beneath a cloth. While the other treasures are clearly visible, this one is a mystery. Like the figure itself, value is conveyed when one gives it value by uncovering the object.

Upright meaning

This card often represents choices, imagination, and dreams. It suggests that you have many options and possibilities available to you, and that you’re exploring new ideas and opportunities. The card encourages you to use your imagination and to be open to new experiences.

Reverse meaning

This card can indicate confusion, overwhelm, or a lack of clarity. You may be feeling like you have too many options or too many ideas, or you may be struggling to make a decision. The card suggests that you may need to take time to prioritize your goals and focus on what’s most important.

The INDIAN TAROTS – Six of Cups

June 19, 2023

by Cardzz Solution with No Comment Tarot Meanings

The Six of Cups is almost a reverse of the Five of Cups. Whereas that card warns you about the dangers of harping on the past, this card encourages you to remember the good memories. It also illustrates the two states of being: the giver and the receiver. Whichever one you are right now, seek out community with those around you in the spirit of childlike innocence.

The children in this card are from Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh. The boy in the Six of Cups illustrates the part of us who wants to help. He bends over and presents the girl with a cup full of flowers. Such display of love and affection is what the suit of cups represents. The girl in the Six of Cups illustrates the part of us who accepts help. Helping others is a noble thing, but so is accepting help. Recognizing that you can’t doing everything by yourself is the first step to being able to help others yourself. Together, the boy and girl illustrate the community that was first depicted in the Three of Cups.

In the background towards the right of the card, there is a guard walking away. Also, there is the Raam Mandir far away. This shows that the community of the two children is removed from the hustle of adult life. It encourages us to remember our childlike qualities as we grow up. The girl’s head contributes to the many paradoxes that litter the Tarot cards. The girl has a double face due to her hairstyle. Depending on how you look at it, you can see a face to the left of her head or to the right of her head. This is the only Tarot card with flowers in the cups. This reveals the blooming affection between the two children as well as the spiritual growth of the reader.

Upright meaning

This card often represents nostalgia, innocence, and childhood memories. It suggests that you’re feeling a sense of joy and happiness as you revisit pleasant memories from your past. The card encourages you to embrace your inner child and to find joy in simple pleasures.

Reverse meaning

This card can indicate stagnation, resistance to change, or an inability to let go of the past. You may be holding onto old patterns or beliefs that are no longer serving you, or you may be struggling to move forward in your life. The card suggests that you may need to let go of the past and embrace new experiences.

The INDIAN TAROTS – Five of Cups

June 19, 2023

by Cardzz Solution with No Comment Tarot Meanings

The Five of Cups is a card of testing. In the card, three cups have fallen while two cups remain standing. The card asks us if we should be more upset about the fallen cups or more grateful for the standing cups. The Five of Cups is thus a pectoral representation of the age-old question: is a cup of water half full or half empty.

Unlike the lone figure in the Four of Cups, who was in repose, the lone figure in the Five of Cups is in grief. She wears a black veil of mourning and her posture looks like she is sad. The reason behind her melancholy is unclear. A popular interpretation is that the figure is sad at the barrier of the river, unaware of the bridge to the right of the card.

At the feet of the figure are three fallen cups. They represent the figure’s past failures. Because there are more fallen cups than standing cups, the figure might be harping on the past without giving much thought to the present. In juxtaposition with the fallen cups, the two standing cups represent the present opportunities that the figure has. Much like the floating cup in the previous card, these two cups are present yet unseen; in order to move forward, the figure needs to break from the past and acknowledge the gifts around him.

In front of the lone figure there roars a flowing river. Water in this instance acts as a separation. Constantly flowing, the deep river gives the figure a sense of anxiety over her authority. The roadblock this river creates feeds into the themes of the three fallen cups. In juxtaposition with the river, the bridge in the far left of the card represents the figure’s hidden ability to overcome the roadblock. In this way, the bridge parallels the standing cups. The solutions to all of the figure’s problems exist near her; all she needs to do is to look for them.

Upright meaning

This card often represents loss, disappointment, and grief. It suggests that you’re experiencing a painful emotional experience, such as a breakup or a loss of a loved one. The card encourages you to acknowledge your feelings and to work through your emotions in a healthy way.

Reverse meaning

This card can indicate acceptance, healing, or moving on. You may be finding ways to cope with your loss or to let go of past hurts. The card suggests that you may need to focus on finding closure or moving forward in a positive direction.

The INDIAN TAROTS – Four of Cups

June 19, 2023

by Cardzz Solution with No Comment Tarot Meanings

The Four of Cups is a card about decision making and the gifts that pop up in our lives. In the card, a man looks at the three cups before him while a fourth one, like the Ace of Cups, materialises in the sky next to him. Through his meditation, the man must reconcile what he has with what is given to him.

Breaking from the previous incrementation of figures in the Cups suit, the Four of Cups has a lone figure sitting on top of Satpura mountain range (Madhya Pradesh). This green hill, signifies the upper hand of his enlightenment. The figure’s position suggests that he is thinking about something. He might be analyzing the three cups that stand before him. He might be trying to figure out how to add the fourth cup. He might not even be aware of the fourth cup. In any case, the figure is in planning mode.

The fourth cup in the cloud is a clear reiteration of the Ace of Cups. It reminds us of second chances as well as sudden bursts of creative energy. What’s notable though is that it is unclear if the figure can see the cup or not. This encourages us to look out for the gifts in life; sometimes they are floating right next to us. The figure in the card sits at the roots of a tall tree. The tree represents a shelter in the wilderness. It also reveals that in order to meditate and be in repose, one must first satisfy our immediate needs. Meditation is a luxury that we must work hard to achieve.

Upright meaning

This card often represents contemplation, introspection, and emotional stability. It suggests that you’re taking time to reflect on your emotions and your life, and that you’re finding a sense of peace and stability within yourself. The card encourages you to trust your intuition and to focus on your emotional wellbeing.

Reverse meaning

This card can indicate apathy, discontent, or a lack of emotional fulfillment. You may be feeling bored or dissatisfied with your life or your relationships. The card suggests that you may need to explore new experiences or find ways to reignite your passion for life.

Three of Cups focuses on one’s relationship to a community. In the three women’s circle, the women appear to view each other with respect and admiration, mutually participating in a celebration, possibly Annakut Utsav. Such is how all communities should act. Fruits, and vegetables on the ground where the women celebrate; they are planning to prepare food to devote to Lord Krishna and Govardhan Mountain. The abundance of flora represents the harvest.
