Intuition, like first impressions, serves the brain’s need to predict and prepare for what will happen next.
—Psychology Today
The sensitive Page of Cups embodies that tug on the heartstrings feeling. It's no wonder this Page is given a big fish (intuition); his airy nature needs to grow to compensate for his surplus of emotions. Scientifically, intuition is the brain's ability to automatically process information, recognize patterns, and make rapid decisions using past experiences. But it only helps us if we pay attention to it. Jason and Medea are perfect examples of the heart ignoring all reason. Medea gave Jason a potion to help him succeed in all the tasks for him set by her father. Jason is eventually victorious and marries Medea. But later, he desires another wife, leading to Medea poisoning his new bride and his sons. As Alfred Adler said, "Follow your heart but take your brain with you."
