Two of Cups — Upright Meaning
Two figures exchange cups under a winged lion, a caduceus between them. The Two of Cups is connection and mutual exchange: a budding romance, a deep friendship, or a partnership built on respect. This is a meeting of equals — and it matters.
Two of Cups — Reversed Meaning
Reversed, the Two of Cups suggests disharmony or imbalance in a relationship. Giving and receiving are out of sync, or a connection is strained. Honest conversation can restore the balance — if both are willing.
