Tarot card meaning

Two of Cups

Love, passion, friendship, affinity, union, concord, sympathy, the interrelation of the sexes, and--as a suggestion apart from all offices of divination--that desire which is not in Nature, but by which Nature is sanctified.

Minor Arcanacups

Upright

Love, passion, friendship, affinity, union, concord, sympathy, the interrelation of the sexes, and--as a suggestion apart from all offices of divination--that desire which is not in Nature, but by which Nature is sanctified.

Reversed

Lust, cupidity, jealousy, wish, desire, but the card may also give, says W., "that desire which is not in nature, but by which nature is sanctified."

Reflection

Light
Being drawn to someone Longing for someone or something Acting on your desires Discovering a feeling is mutual Doing what makes you feel good Merging Healing broken ties Admitting two people feel differently about each other and moving on

Shadow
Burning bridges Becoming caught up in unhealthy codependency Shutting out anyone but your chosen few Obsessing on someone who does not return your affections Despairing over finding "The One" Deceiving yourself about your true orientation

Symbolism

A youth and maiden are pledging one another, and above their cups rises the Caduceus of Hermes, between the great wings of which there appears a lion's head. It is a variant of a sign which is found in a few old examples of this card. Some curious emblematical meanings are attached to it, but they do not concern us in this place.
