Full Meaning
The Two of Cups is a card about the recognition of love. It is about gazing into someone's eyes and realizing that you have made a deep and lasting connection or even found your soul mate. This card is about an affinity with someone on all levels and the simple union of two people who are very much in love. If you are already in a relationship then you may feel that now is the time to move towards a deeper commitment or even marriage.
Traditional Symbolism
A youth and maiden are pledging one another, and above their cups rises the Caduceus of Hermes, between the great wings of which there appears a lion's head. It is a variant of a sign which is found in a few old examples of this card. Some curious emblematical meanings are attached to it, but they do not concern us in this place.
