What's with the scenes on the cups? And how would you read this card?
The scenes on the cups are actually SYMBOLS which tells you what it means. Some scenes tell you the reversed meaning of the card. You only read what cup has the scene that most attracted your eyes attention.
Therefore the cup which has the scene of the woman frightened by a spider is what you were at the time suppose to read, not the other cup scenes. Here I quote you.
a woman frightened by a spider (sounds like me)
So you can then ask your self what is it you are frightened / or disappointed of?
committment/relationship
work/job
person
a trip/vacation/travelling
family gathering/meeting your partners family for the first time
I hope this will help you.
