Upright

• Seeing the beauty and richness in many things, perhaps even most things; the pronounced ability to connect on such a level.
• Walking in beauty, joy, or bliss.
• Knowing and following one's deepest longings.
• A deep, treasured bond with a true friend, a significant other, or an important family member.
• An artist; a poet; someone with the ability to help others to see the beauty in the world. Someone with the ability to make others feel fulfilled, blissful, joyful, grateful.

The Attainment of Water is perhaps the most mysterious of the attainment cards, even though it signifies something which seems simple enough to understand: finding lasting, deep fulfillment— having one's intentions and actions flow from and in accordance with their most enduring and pervasive longings. Having consistent sources of rewarding meaning in one's life, walking in beauty, perhaps finding spiritual meaning or connection with the divine — however one may perceive it — all are possible ways to embody the Attainment of Water.

This could also represent a very close friend, a best friend, or one's significant other, someone who can bring meaning into one's life.

Emergent

(Reversed)

• A gift, physical or not, which stirs deep emotions, and reveals new details of one's grand emotional mystery.
• A very cherished gift.
• Giving a card or a present, or something else, as a way to foster connection.
• Discovering a moving and beautiful work of art which illuminates part of one's own personal mystery.
• Hitting it off with a new connection.
• Making new connections with great potential depth.
• Matchmaking.

The emergence of Water represents an opportunity to develop the capacity for fulfillment, for the self and possibly for others. It could represent a new opportunity for deep connection, or a the fresh recognition or realization of a long-held desire. As with all Emergent elements, this card most likely represents a proverbial gift from the universe, something new related to the element Water.

In particular, Water Emergent may represent the giving of a gift, or the sharing of an experience which compels deep emotional connection.
