Introduction
The card shows a strong union supported by a steady emotional foundation. If the Majors are the heavy hitters, the representations of big ideas and overarching influences and situations that rule our lives and experience, then the Minors are those concepts showing up in smaller ways in our day-to-day lives. So, I like to think of the Two of Cups as the Lovers of the Minor Arcana.
Partnership and Attraction
It's a card of partnership and attraction, whether that be romantic, emotional or perhaps even in business. The couple is toasting in reciprocity and clasping hands to signify two becoming one.
Symbolism
Traditionally, balance, partnership and communication are also symbolized by the caduceus, but I decided to replace it with a tree to represent the Tree of Life.
Positive Outcomes
If goes well, it will bear fruit and provide shelter, representing the positive outcomes of this union.
Negative Outcomes
If neglected, fruit will wither on the vine. Reversed, the Two of Cups can indicate stagnation or the breakup of a partnership. Struggles in interpersonal relationships can arise from mistrust, miscommunication, or from a lack of self-love.
Encouragement and Advice
The Two of Cups encourages us to look within and pay attention to the energy and the feelings we bring to a partnership, and to evaluate the social exchange we are participating in it. If things are not going well, we must allow ourselves to open up and be vulnerable with the other person, to hear them and let ourselves be heard.
