Two of Cups

Cups

Essence

I am the moment two become one without losing themselves. In my image, a man and woman face each other, each holding a cup, pledging their hearts. Above them rises the caduceus of Hermes - two serpents twined around a winged staff, the symbol of healing and sacred union. The lion head speaks of passion balanced by the wings of spirit. I am love meeting love, equals recognizing equals.

Upright

Themes: Partnership, union, mutual attraction, love, friendship, reconciliation, harmony, equal exchange, soul connection.

I speak with the joy of true connection. I am about partnership in all forms - romantic love, deep friendship, business partnership, reconciliation. When I appear, I announce that connection calls. Someone meets you as an equal. The attraction is mutual, the respect is real. This is not conquest or surrender but meeting. **Themes:** Partnership, union, mutual attraction, love, friendship, reconciliation, harmony, equal exchange, soul connection.

Reversed

Themes: Imbalanced relationships, broken partnerships, miscommunication, separation, unrequited feelings, disharmony.

I speak of imbalance in connection or partnerships that cannot form. Either the attraction is one-sided, the exchange unequal, or two people who should connect are held apart. My reversed message asks: is this truly mutual? Are you meeting as equals? **Themes:** Imbalanced relationships, broken partnerships, miscommunication, separation, unrequited feelings, disharmony.
