Two of Cups

The meaning of the Two of Cups in a Tarot reading, including definitions for both the upright and reversed positions.

The card depicts a man and a woman facing each other, the man’s right hand extended toward the woman.  They each hold a large chalice and a caduceus topped by a winged lion lies between the chalices.

Upright: Two people bonding together as partners.  This may indicate a budding romance or a new friendship with a great deal of affection and warmth.  The caduceus was the symbol of merchants and trade long before it became associated with the medical practice and so this may indicate a particularly good business relationship.

Reversed:  This indicates a relationship that isn’t going to work out.  It may be a temporary, physical attraction to someone, only to discover that you really don’t have much in common.  In business it may indicate a partnership or joint endeavor that never gets past the negotiating phase.

EXAMPLES:  Your best buddy at work, someone who can crack you up with just a smile or a wink and you feel totally sympatico with.

A co-creator or music, art, or writing, a person with whom you can get completely into the same groove or on the same page and create some magic together.
