Two of Cups

The "Twos" in the Tarot Deck generally concern aspects of duality - such as communication, dialogue, relationships, and the balancing of opposites.

The Two of Cups often depicts a couple (as in the Rider-Waite and Robin Wood Decks), but may alternatively depict other symbols of duality (as in the Golden Dawn Tarot Deck) - in addition to the two cups that appear on most versions of this card.

This card usually refers to the wholeness that can be found through relationships. This can include our own inner relationship between our masculine and feminine aspects. It can also refer to external relationships between ourselves and a lover, colleague, business partner, friend, or family member.
The Two of Cups can remind us that apparent opposition may be reconciled by paying attention to the feelings of those involved.

 

Keywords summarising the possible meanings of this card include:

  • Co-operation
  • Friendship
  • Good Partnership
  • Harmony
  • Platonic Love.

Remember that all of the Cups cards in the Tarot Deck have some energies in common. These include, for example, the overall association of the suit of Cups with emotional feelings. For further information, also read about the Suit of Cups in general.

Some texts include meanings for "reversed cards", which apply when the cards are shuffled in both order and orientation. This doubles the number of possible "cards" in the deck from 78 to 156. (In terms of the probabilities of obtaining results by chance alone, it is not a simple doubling as once a card has been drawn it cannot be selected again in the opposite orientation in the same reading.)
