Ace of Cupsfor Cancer
"New Love isn't the question. What you do next is."
Six quick picks first, then your reading
Cups represent emotions, love, and feelings. The ace of cups, as the first card in the suit, represents a new love just beginning its emotional journey. Untested, but excited!
You are at the start of a new journey, some form of new love has come into your life (be it a new connection, a new pet, a new lover, or a new take on a love that's existed before). Be open to new things and see the world with rose colored glasses!
You over focused on something new, and neglected your self. You've depleted your own emotional cup and need to spend some time filling it up again. Perhaps a new love did not go as you hoped and you must start the healing process before you begin again.

Ace of Cups for Cancer
The Nurturer
Cancer is a Water cardinal sign ruled by Moon, whose natural subject is home, roots, family, the private interior. Cups are the water suit, so the Ace of Cups sits in Cancer. That makes this Cancer's own card, so nothing in it is being read from the outside, and the flattering interpretation is the one to distrust. What it asks for is the thing Cancer already believes it is good at: say the feeling to the person it is about. Cancer is cardinal: it starts things, and this is a card about starting, so the danger is starting again instead of continuing. Water meeting its own element is amplification, which raises the sign's strengths and its usual failure by the same amount. An ace is a seed rather than a result. Upright it means the thing is genuinely available and completely untested.
