A man and a woman face each other. They exchange the Cup they hold in their hands. With their laurel wreath and flowers in their hair, their pretty outfit, they seem to be participating in a union ceremony or a magical ritual. Their exchange is sealed under a Caduceus. The Caduceus is an attribute of the God Hermes. It symbolizes protection, harmony and fair exchange. As with the Map of Strength, the presence of the Lion evokes the sensuality and attraction between the two characters.
Like the Lovers’ Card or the Devil’s Card, the Two of Cups represent a man and a woman and necessarily evokes the notion of a couple. Here, each brings to the other the best they have – the contents of their Cup – that is, their emotions, their Intuition and their feelings.
Here, no pretense. No cheating or artifice. The relationship is based on mutual attraction, deep respect and the need to love, understand and support others. In this Energy, it is a question of shared benevolence and consideration.
In fact, in the Tarot Readings, the Two of Cups is a very strong indicator of attraction and mutual feelings. If the Two of Cups evokes “romantic” love, it can also mean filial love or friendship. The Two of Cups can also evoke a partnership or a project in which you put “all your heart”. In this project or partnership, each party is as involved and “winning” as the other. The Two of Cups sometimes announces an engagement, a marriage or a union. The Map speaks of the commitment that both people or both parties make to each other, that is, the commitment to look after the physical and emotional needs of the other.
The Two of Cups is first and foremost a Card of sharing and partnership. It is therefore to your partner that you must turn to agree on what you want to do with your finances. To reach your financial goals, both of you need to get started and stick to the decisions you make. Be supportive of each other, be responsible for each other, and communicate your fears and successes.
The Two of Cups can also announce a partnership opportunity (investment, business, etc.) with someone you know.
The Two of Cups is an excellent signal in the Tarot Readings concerning Love and the domain of love.
If you search for Love with a capital “L”, the partner you are eagerly awaiting might break into your life. You will recognize this person by the deep emotional connection you share and your mutual attraction. This love affair can fall into place quite quickly because the understanding is harmonious, the communication between the two of you is very fluid. You feel like you’ve finally met the right person. If your relationship started off on a “we’ll see, for now I’m enjoying” mode, things could get a lot more serious quickly.
If your relationship is struggling, the Two of Cups indicates that you both have the cards in hand to mend your relationship, to forgive what needs to be and move forward together again. You are both in a good position to understand the other’s point of view and find harmony.
Relax is needed. Take some time to rejuvenate yourself. Your mental health is as important as your physical health.
