Cups, associated with Water (even the horse of the Knight has a head which resembles that of a seahorse!), correspond to the emotional plane. It is not a coincidence that common ways of expressing emotional unease are “to be agitated”, “to be shaken”. Moreover, the Moon is the card of the Major Arcana which contains the most liquid, because in symbolism, she is the Lady of Waters, of the body and of the Earth (seas and oceans), she dominates them with a cyclic nature, with individual rhythms in communication with cosmic rhythms. As the Moon is associated with the Mother-Goddess and therefore with life and with the first emotional dependencies of the child towards the mother, thus is explained the relationship between water and this plane
