Ace of Grails
Upright: Love, new relationships, compassion, creativity
Reversed: Self-love, intuition, repressed emotions
Ace of Grails symbolizes new beginnings, opportunity, potential, drive, ideas, inspiration and aspiration. Many times, Aces in a reading indicate that a situation is about to begin or is in the early stages of development. Because Grails are of the more emotional/spiritual nature, a suit of the heart, it is most likely the beginning of a new romantic relationship...or perhaps a creative endeavor. Ace of Grails indicates something that is felt with the heart.
In this image, the cup or grail is filled with new possibilities. It is skull-shaped to evoke Dia de los Muertos symbolism and blue colored with a Pisces/fish handle and stem to indicate the water element. This water element card is representative of the heart or spiritual self. It evokes the things that can be felt rather than seen. Death is seen as the possibility of a new beginning/phase, rather than an end. Ace of Grails also points to faith or belief.
The element of Water is associated with the signs Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces. Water signs are emotional, empathetic, receptive and deeply feeling. Watery descriptions are well suited to this element: fluid, flowing, wavering. Water signs are intuitive and sensitive, and they feel more intensely than the rest. They are emotional and nurturing, and like a river, they run deep. How things feel is what matters, and they base their actions on sense, rather than on logic or intellect.
