I find the Aces difficult to connect with and interpret. From everything I've been able to gather, they mostly seem like a generic placeholder for the rest of the suit. Whenever I see them, they feel so abstract and impersonal compared to the rest of the deck that I'm not sure how to approach them.
For one example, I was trying out a deck interview spread, and I got "3 of Cups" as a strength and "Ace of Cups" as a weakness. I found this really confusing, because it seems like the 3, along with the rest of the suit, are almost incorporated within the Ace, so isn't it contradictory for it to have the strength of the 3 of Cups if it's weak in the suit of Cups in general? I eventually went with, "Maybe it's telling me it wants to be used with other people, but isn't good at locating my deep-down emotions?" but it felt less genuine than the rest of the reading, if that makes sense. That is just the most recent instance, but I usually feel similarly whenever these cards show up.
How have you been able to connect with the aces, on a level deeper than "vague representation of these concepts"? I hope to get better at integrating them into a reading.
