Visual Description
Seated at a watery doorway, a seeker is seen mirrored in form, offering her heart in the glowing symbol of a cup. This duality reflects the inner and outer spaces that take us along our journey towards Love. Part of this is given to us externally through our connections, while the other flows directly from our own self-love. Spiritual love emerges from both.

Inquiry
Have I learned to appreciate myself - flaws and all? What is my true perception of love?
Affirmations
I deserve Love. I need not bypass my own heart for others.
As a powerful window
As a powerful window into the mechanics of our heart, this card speaks of partnerships, love, and mutual connections with others. The Two of Cups is also a key of new beginnings that shift our view of the world, when budding romance casts a haze of rosy light around us.
Early phase
This may indicate an early phase when two people first meet, lost in a wave of infatuation and longing. It is a dream-like state where the foreseeable path may not be so clear, as we lose sight of our personal goals or ambitions along the way.
Emergence of self-love
On another note, the Two of Cups may also represent the emergence of self-love - in learning the difference between projecting our need for love onto others, as opposed to heartfelt connections that nourish balance and independence. This card may illuminate the need for compromise, or a choice to be made in order to arrive at a comfortable solution between two people or opposing forces.
Reversed
When reversed, the Two of Cups can point to emotional blockages that take up space within ourselves or our relationships. This may be due to unresolved past traumas or experiences that prevent a positive flow of connection. A needed period of adjustment, when some kind of truth must be spoken aloud. Healing. Forgiveness. Sustaining from the heart.
