Two of Cups
The Card
Two figures face each other, each offering a cup. Above them floats the caduceus of Hermes crowned by a winged lion head. This is the card of mutual recognition — two people seeing each other clearly and choosing each other.
Symbolism
The caduceus (two serpents twined around a staff) represents healing, commerce, and communication — the foundations of lasting relationship. The lion head is Leo, the sign of the heart.
A powerful bond. Two people face each other, exchanging cups — a gesture of equal partnership. This is romance, but also any deep mutual connection: friendship, business partnership, creative collaboration.
Imbalance in relationship, break in connection, one-sided attraction, codependency.
