Love Tarot

Two is a number of polarity. Here we see this polarity in a kind form: as an attractive force between two opposites. When in a love Tarot spread you see the two of Cups in good company, then romance is in the air.

In the Rider Waite Tarot deck we see a man and a woman standing in front of each other. In the background a house is visible between the two persons. The man touches the cup of the woman. Where the cups touch each other, we see a caduceus with the head of a lion.

The two snakes on the caduceus represent cosmic energy, the kundalini. The head of the lion shows passion. The caduceus is the staff of Hermes who was the messenger of the gods.
Here we can see the caduceus as the messenger of passion and love.
The woman seems to give her cup to the man who accept it. The cup can be seen as the heart of both persons. The man will give also his cup to the woman. Love is exchanged, it comes from both sides.
The house we see on a distance between both persons, shows that it is love with a future. It's not a one stand meeting.
When you look at the card you don't see any other people or possible obstacles. This could suggest that the romance can develop in a smooth way.

When you don't see this card in a love Tarot spread, you must not conclude that love will not be your part. Tarot has many ways to say that you will meet romance and love. The 2 of cups is only the most straightforward card to show this.

Above I explained the two of cups from the point of view of a love Tarot spread. But the card can also represent another kind of relation between two people. It will then show people who like each other, who have sympathy for each other and who enjoy the company of each other.

It can even be explained in a more spiritual way. You could see it as the reconciliation of consciousness and unconsciousness. Or a meeting between the Lower and the Higher Self. Though this is more the realm of the Major Arcana.

It all depends on what the person in question wants to know from the Tarot reading.
