The Ace of Cups shows a hand holding up an overflowing cup, which fountains forth an endless stream of water, wine, blood, or soma for the people's refreshment and healing. It is an unfailing source of balm for body, heart, and soul.
ACE OF CUPS. Commencement of a love affair.
Two. Opposition to this commencement. Unimportant obstacles raised by one of the lovers.
THREE. Realization of this commencement. The love is mutual.
Pumpkins (in place of Pentacles)
Bats (in place of Swords)

This means that, simplistically speaking, the Ace of Wands concerns new pursuits and ventures in a hands-on sense, and the Ace of Cups concerns new phases in relationships or intuitive inspiration.
