II – Two of Cups♥

Two of Cups is the sacred union of souls, the harmonious blending of two hearts into partnership and mutual support. Attributed to Venus in Cancer, this card carries the title Love—the perfect balance of emotional forces, the alchemical marriage of receptive and projective energies.

The Two of Cups celebrates connection, attraction, and the deep bonds that form through empathy and understanding. Here is the recognition of the beloved in another, the moment when two separate streams merge into one flowing current. This card speaks of all forms of meaningful partnership—romantic love, deep friendship, creative collaboration, or the reconciliation of opposing forces within the self.

In Qabbalistic terms, this card corresponds to Chokmah, Wisdom, in Briah—the first division of the emotional waters into duality, creating the possibility of relationship. The Two of Cups reminds you to honor your relationships and cherish the gift of true companionship. It teaches that love in its highest form is not possession but mutual recognition, not need but willing choice, not dependency but sacred covenant.
