Step1

Examine the card for symbols other than the obvious cup on the card.

Step2

Consider the numerological meanings of the number 1. The ace could be a beginning, a seed, or an idea.

Step3

Remember the elemental association of the card as well. Cups, swords, and coins will all have very different meanings.

Step4

Take all of these separate parts of information to create a single meaning that works for you.

Step5

Read the card as it is affected by the cards around it. Major Arcana cards, for example, tend to affect the meanings of the cards around them.

Tips & Warnings

Minor Arcana cards can be very affected by the Major Arcana cards around them.
Use books as guides, but remember that only you can truly understand how the cards are trying to speak to you in your reading.
