Two of Cups

Water · Cups
The Two of Cups card from the Rider-Waite-Smith tarot

On the card

Two figures exchange cups beneath a winged lion's head above a caduceus, facing one another as equals.

Upright

  • Connection
  • Meeting
  • Regard

An exchange between two people who are both holding something out. Traditionally the card of regard that runs in both directions.

Reversed

  • Imbalance
  • Distance
  • Broken accord

Read reversed, the exchange is uneven — one cup extended and one withheld, or an accord that has quietly come apart.

About this deck

The artwork is the Rider-Waite-Smith tarot, drawn by Pamela Colman Smith to Arthur Edward Waite's direction and first published in 1909. It has passed into the public domain, which is why it can be shown here in full — but it is her work, and the reason this deck became the one nearly every other deck answers to.
