One of four suits in a tarot deck

Answer:

CUPS

Hint:

Think of the suit that represents emotions and relationships in divination cards.

Explanation:

A tarot deck has four suits, just like a regular deck of cards, but instead of hearts or diamonds, one of them is called "cups." The clue is asking for the name of that suit, which represents emotions, relationships, and intuition in tarot readings. It’s a direct reference—no wordplay or tricks—so the answer is simply the plural form of the word "cup." If you’ve seen tarot cards, you might recognize the suit by its images of chalices or goblets.
