Description in the booklet: A mask of beauty and joy.
The chalices in general appear to be a positive suit in so far as the Etruscan deck is concerned, although there are a few variations.
Beauty and joy speaks of the Ace, and of all the aces in the Etruscan deck, the Ace of Chalices is the only one which features a woman. In www.fabrisia.com, women were described in this fashion: "The Etruscan women were not restricted to quiet chambers, weaving and child rearing like the Greek and Roman women. They appeared in plain view, openly eating and drinking with their husbands. The Etruscan women had names of their own, unlike the Roman women who had the feminine version of the masculine name. Women could transmit their family name to their children, especially in the highest social classes. Most Etruscan women were intensely feminine. They wore ornate jewelry, owned elaborate mirrors, wore makeup and dressed up routinely in colorful linen tunics. The men wore a cloak thrown over the shoulder, the predecessor to the Roman toga."
In this card, we may assume an element of freedom to be oneself, a starting point for something that would bring happiness and fulfillment. The starting point of course, as in other decks, is the powerful emotion of love. Relationships are usually the main theme of chalices in general and in this case of the Etruscan deck, the chalices are about pain and tenderness, happiness and sadness, blessings and sharing.
Hence, when the Etruscan ace of chalices show up in a reading, it may be a hint that something of great emotion is about to start ... there may be a reconciliation, a building or blossoming of a new relationship, a new connection, the start of a moment of love and tenderness with someone, or even with something. This may also be symbolic of our need to start loving ourselves so that it would be easier to love others, appreciate what others have done and are doing for us, a time for giving and helping and showing support.
