2 of Cups

The Two of Cups stands for the meeting of two emotional dimensions. It puts the emphasis on relationship, exchange and reciprocity.

What the card shows

Two covered cups face each other on either side of a central stem that opens into flowers. At the bottom, a crowned shield carries three lily flowers.

Its light

A recognized reciprocity changes the way you work together: you offer more freely, without stepping on each other, and the exchange keeps the momentum going on both sides.

Its shadow

Two cups facing each other can freeze: each expects something else from the other, and the gap only appears when it is time to count. What is given is not always what is received.

Notes on the symbolism

Symbolism TdM. The two leaves the single object behind: for the first time the cups drawing sets two figures against each other instead of showing only one.

What this card invites you to do

Count what you bring and what you receive, without rounding off. Say what you are missing rather than waiting for it in silence.

A card does not decide for you.
It shows you where to look.
