The Sage of Cups is courtly and sophisticated, well versed in culture and the arts. He always presents a smooth exterior to the world. But inside, he carries a whirlpool of emotion. He is uncomfortable with his own element, the watery realm of feelings. He keeps them hidden, maybe even from himself.

This Sage is an uncommonly sympathetic person, and can be a skillful healer and counselor. Yet he seems unable to turn an open and loving heart toward himself. This unwillingness to be vulnerable keeps him from fully giving himself to a relationship.

The Sage of Cups may enter your life as a sensitive yet moody person. His appearance also invites you to open up to aspects of yourself calling for expression.
