Why This Mapping?
Rose's talk embodies the Page of Cups because it invites us into curiosity as an emotional doorway... leading with wonder, openness, and a willingness to be surprised rather than certainty or expertise.
▶READ MORE ABOUT WHY THIS MAPPING...
The Page of Cups is the archetype of emotional curiosity: naïve in the best way, receptive, playful, and unguarded. In Ignite Your Curiosity, Rose Cain doesn’t argue for curiosity as a productivity hack or a strategic advantage; she frames it as a way of relating to the world. The talk encourages loosening our grip on answers and certainty, and instead listening for what emerges when we stay open... precisely the Page’s posture.
Rather than positioning curiosity as something to master, the talk honors it as something fragile and alive: easily shut down by judgment, fear, or the pressure to perform. That emotional vulnerability is core to the Page of Cups, who learns not through authority or experience, but through attunement... by noticing feelings, questions, and subtle signals before they harden into conclusions.
There’s also a quiet bravery here. The Page of Cups isn’t bold like the Knight; their courage lies in staying soft in a world that rewards armor. This talk invites that same courage: to ask questions that don’t yet have answers, to follow interest without knowing where it leads, and to trust that curiosity itself is meaningful. In Tarot terms, this is the cup being offered... not full of knowledge, but full of possibility.
