A reflective starting point
What is Two of Cups — Love asking you to look at?
Meaning changes with the position, the surrounding cards and your question. Take what follows as a language, not a verdict.
Upright
A harmonious union is possible or already under way: cultivate it with openness and reciprocity.
At first sight
Love, friendship, reciprocity, harmony between two people or two parts. It points to a happy meeting, an agreement, a sincere reconciliation.
Within you
The experience of mirroring yourself in another and recognising yourself; the wish to share that comes from fullness, not from lack.
On the path
Water in Chokmah, the original force of love, with Venus in Cancer in the first decan: affection in its tenderest and most protective form. Love is the will to union that precedes every form, the polarity that recognises and attracts itself.
The shadow
Ill-dignified, it signals infatuation, emotional dependence, sentimentality or dissolving into a relationship.
Reversed
In the Thoth tradition a reversed card is read through its dignity with the neighbouring cards; this is its shadow side.
Imbalance in the relationship, expectations not returned, difficulty communicating feelings.
In love, work and spirit
Love. Mutual falling in love, engagement, reconciliation after a misunderstanding.
Work. Happy partnerships, harmonious collaborations, agreements based on trust.
Spirit. Love as law: polarity reconciled into unity.

Crowley's note
In the Thoth deck two intertwined dolphins rise from a lotus and pour water into two cups on a calm sea: love as the harmony of polarities.
