Deck meaning
Ace of Glasses in The Heartline
Ace of Glasses keeps the Ace of Cups backbone: the first seed, impulse, gift, or opening of that suit. In this deck it works through glasses, shared drinks, hospitality, emotional offers, attraction, memory, intimacy, grief, and what gets poured or withheld, so the card should be read through lived scene, action, and consequence rather than as a decorative suit rename.
