Two of Cups
A man and a woman face each other and exchange cups beneath a winged lion's head rising from a caduceus of twined serpents. A cottage sits on the green hill behind them.
★ Upright
The Two of Cups is mutuality — a bond where both parties pour and both receive. Upright, it favors partnership in every register: romance, close friendship, a business alliance sealed on genuine respect. Whatever is exchanged here is exchanged evenly, and that is exactly its power.
♺ Reversed
Reversed, the exchange has tilted: one cup always giving, the other always taking, or a small crack in trust quietly widening. It calls for rebalancing the relationship honestly — or recognizing a connection that flatters you but never actually fills your cup.
