Tell My Tarot
The interpretation of the Two of Cups card centers on love, emotions and relationships. Drawing this card can confirm the positive things we feel about our relationships, or herald a promising new relationship. The central image on the card, which consists of the couple looking a tone another, shows love at its strongest, when the couple is absorbed in one another and material concerns as symbolized by the house are in order but far from their minds.
The imagery of this card also emphasizes the connection and equality that are essential to a happy relationship. With the couple joined by the caduceus and each holding their cup at an equal level, this couple is experiencing true balance. This image also suggests that having your own cup – your own source of contentment – is important to a harmonious relationship. If you are not in this kind of relationship right now, drawing this card can be a sign that you are ready for one. On a practical level, it can also be an invitation to take the first step to actively bring harmony into your life. You may need to acquire a better work-life balance, get a new hobby or reach out for new friendships.
A reversal of this card turns up the dark side of the perfect relationship. Sometimes we idealize our romance too much and fail to notice the things that are not working. Codependence is another risk of a relationship that grows too enmeshed, creating a lack of balance. In other spheres, a lack of equality may be seriously affecting your emotional well-being.

You feel strong enough to open your heart and start sharing your life path. Don't be afraid, this desire to be part of a couple is natural for human beings.
