Two Of Cups Tarot Card

The Two of Cups depicts a couple, a man and a woman, exchanging chalices in a happy and content way. It is a mutual exchange. A caduceus is between the couple. (A caduceus is called a “herald’s staff" and is the staff of Hermes, the Greek god of commerce & communication, encircled with two snakes. It signifies commerce and negotiation and emphasizes balance, fair exchange, and reciprocity.) Usually the caduceus has wings coming out of the staff but in this case there is a lion’s head above the staff and the wings are coming out of the lion’s head.

The Reversed Two Of Cups Tarot Card From The Rider-Waite Tarot Deck.

Two of Cups Tarot Card Meanings Reversed- Arguments, disharmony, divorce, inequality, losing friends, breakups, separation, imbalance, end of partnerships, abuse, unhappy commitments, or incompatibility.

The Two of Cups in its reverse expresses an imbalance in life. It may show inequality, bullying, or abuse. In less extreme relationships it can indicate a one-sided relationship or a break down in relationships at work. This disharmony will have effects on all aspects of your life including love, career success, and health.

Love & Relationships- In its reverse this card indicates you are investing a lot in a relationship. If you are committed, it could mean your romance is with someone you are actually not compatible with. The friction between you two could be due to a lack of communication or a lack of mutual respect. Do you ever get the cold shoulder from someone who says they love you so much that they can’t get enough of you? It’s time to look into this further and see if the relationship is worth saving. Additionally, this card can be a warning that one or both of you might be neglecting your relationship. If co-dependency exists in your relationship accept that it has also created resentment.

Money & Career- When upside down the Two of Cups may imply the dissolution of a business partnership. Your finances might lack balance and you’re spending more than you’re earning. In general, you’ll need to shift your focus to these issues and address them before they magnify. A big caveat with this card in its reverse is it pointing out you may be too invested in your romantic relationship, to the detriment of your other relationships and your job. Take a step back and consider what effects your actions are having, such as if you’re calling in sick to spend time with your partner. This behavior can't go on too long without consequences so it's best to address it now.

Health & Wellness- This tarot card when upright insinuates good health and positive outcomes but reversed it predicts the opposite. A lack of balance in your eating, sleeping, exercise, and hygiene habits will have an effect on your overall quality of life. Your lack of balance will be noticeable to others as well as to yourself. At this point, don’t rely on willpower to get you on the right track, rely on processes. Set up a schedule or a routine and stick to it. Finally, one of the health issues noted with this card is chronic fatigue. Take extra care when dealing with this condition and allow yourself plenty of recovery time.

Spirituality- Meditation can help your current search for your spiritual path. Feeling out of touch with your spiritual, or higher, self connotes a disconnect with the greater power of the universe. Try meditation in order to bring your spiritual self back into balance. With enough effort you'll start to reconnect with the positive vibrations of the physical world. This reconnection is essential to restoring spiritual balance in your life.
