What does the Cups and Major Arcana quiz test?
This quiz checks how you read pairs where a Cups card lands next to a Major Arcanum. You pick which Major card gives a certain meaning and apply a combination to a real-life situation. Each round draws five questions from twelve, and every answer comes with an explanation of the pair.
All combinations come from the card descriptions on Tayna. You do not need to know obscure traditions; it is enough to understand what each card brings to the pair and how two meanings merge into one.
How does a Major Arcanum change a Cups card?
Cups speak of feelings, while the Major Arcana speak of life's big themes. When they meet, the Major card usually sets the direction and the Cup shows what is happening in the heart along the way. The Star next to a Cups card often adds hope and healing, The Sun open joy, The Lovers a choice made by the heart.
There are warnings too. The Moon next to Cups wraps the picture in fog: the feelings are strong, but not everything is clearly visible. The Devil shows where pleasure or care turns into dependence. Judgement brings you back to the past and offers a chance to see it in a new light.
A combination is neither a verdict nor a forecast. It is a hint about what to notice: what to lean on, where to check feelings against facts and which conversation is overdue. The decision always stays with you.
