The Two Of Cups Tarot Card Meaning

The Two of Cups in the Tarot is one of the favorite ‘feel good’ cards that exist in the whole deck.

This card is similar to the Lovers card, but just to a smaller or less intense degree. This card is one of friendship, or of blossoming romance. If you have received this card then the energy of love, as a nurturing, spiritual, creative energy is blessing your circumstances. This is a card of fulfillment that is equal to that of the person or situation that you are encountering. More often than not, this is a card that specifically references another person.

A loving embrace, two souls intertwined like ivy - this scared union is the cornerstone of a natural affinity to another human being. Love blossoms, and souls stir with feelings of affection and mutual understanding. Are you nurturing this relationship, could you be doing more? This card revels in meaningful connection - often it’s romantic - but it isn’t always. Feel with your soul the one who makes your heart flutter, who illuminates the best parts of you like a double rainbow lining the sky. Now is the time to extend your hand and open your creative mind, creating and communicating will bring you wonderful things and greater levels of prosperity. 

If you are wondering whether or not the new person that you have just met is going to be ‘the one,’ this card is saying that there is a genuine possibility of a beautiful friendship that could blossom into a romance. With this card, it is saying that you are on the same page with this person in multiple ways. You feel an almost kindred connection to them naturally.

The image on the Two of Cups shows two young people who are making a vow of affection to one another. They each hold a cup that is full of all of the good things in life. What more could a person ask for? This kind of friendship is one that most of us hope to find at one point or another. Some of us confuse the desire for sex with the desire for this kind of relationship, but it is not the same at all. It is somewhat easier in a sense to connect with someone sexually then it is to have this kind of ultimate connection with another person. In fact, many of us are afraid of this very connection.

However, here you are being welcomed to entertain the concept of having a soul mate in your life. This is a relationship to be honored, and it is one that develops over time. The serpent in the card represents the balance between good and evil and above them is a lion which indicates that carnal desires have begun to take wind. Again, this isn’t as obvious as the Lover’s Card, whose Union is unquestionable. This is the card that feels like the beginning of all new relationships. It is giddy, intense and exciting, even nerve-wracking. Together with this person you will achieve a great many things. The feeling of being simultaneously special to someone else is mind blowing. This is a very exciting time for you. Like a sun rise, love is awe inspiring, nurturing and beautiful.

Individually you are a very charismatic, compassionate person; you even understand the importance and healing power that is love especially in relation to other people. Another dimension to this card is its connection to the spiritual universe. When one experiences love, it raises our vibrations up. We get a spring in our step and we become so grateful for every little thing. Connect with Higher Source Energy in love and you will go far.

Some of us do not have an easy time allowing the entrance of someone else into our experience, especially if the relationship has the potential to be something great, worthwhile and fulfilling for a life time. However, choosing to love is an active experience. By recognizing the choices that you have, you are showing the universe what you can handle. Give yourself a chance to be vulnerable with someone, to open up the channels of communication and feel free to explore realms of happiness that you never thought possible.

This card is symbolic of a great number of possibilities; Love, proposals, engagement, marriage, and partnerships. One on one friendship, recognition of interesting and talented aspects of the self. Relationships develop, person to person.

The Two of Cups in Love

The Two of Cups is, in essence, a very loving card. It bares tidings of a lucky romantic future very clearly. This love could range from romantic love to a friend's love, to family love. But in this category, if you have done a reading on love or relationships, you will be happy to know that this bodes very well for you. If this card has arrived it means that if you haven’t met someone that you share this kindred energy with yet, you will very soon. And you will know it when you meet them because suddenly you will connect intimately on an intellectual level, then spiritually and of course physically. But remember, this is not the kind of relationship that moves fast. This relationship is a slow-moving, one that gets better with age like a fine wine. Do not push the envelope, take it slow, and give this experience time to blossom. You deserve to have a lovely experience, so have some fun with it. Be kind, be gentle, and be open and receiving as well as ready for this to potentially become something great.

Two of Cups Yes Or No

Yes or no? In general, the Two of Cups is celebratory - your answer is very likely a yes. In matters of couples and questions relating to another person this answer is concrete and resounding: yes, 100%, yes. The only time this card loses it’s assertion is in matters of the individual. The Two of Cups loves human connection, relationships which run through shared experiences like two magpies flying together. This is why it sometimes begins to lean towards no when your question orbits more individual pursuits.

Two of Cups Past

Experience is our potter and we are the clay, love shapes us more than anything else - and romantic relationships and loyal friendships can have a lasting impact on our lives. Who are the most important people from your past? The ones who helped you grow through their love and appreciation for you. Mistakes are valuable, like streetlights on a dark night, they show us the way - but repeating mistakes render their value nil. Sometimes looking to the past and the lessons we’ve learned is a good way of refreshing our senses so we can act with more purpose and determination in the present. Even for those no longer in your life, we can still recall essential moments like a student retracing an old textbook. 

Two of Cups Present 

The rose opens in the sunlight, its fragrant smell is heightened by the warmth of a spring day, its beauty coming into full bloom as its petals open to the sky.

Forging such a deep connection takes work, but like a welder working hard to produce a gold ring, the effort will ultimately be worth it.

Two of Cups Future and Outcome

Happiness is golden and beautiful, it is a thread through your life, giving the good times meaning - so often, this comes most directly from our relationships with others, and you have one to come! See the love of the couple on this card, the chemistry of their loving embrace as hot and meaningful as the flames of a fire; soon, this will be yours too. If you are already loved up, this card sees a continued and sustained relationships - for those who are single, your soul mate may just be fluttering around the corner. Whatever your situation, this is a beautiful card to see in your future position - it may even signal wedding bells for you or someone dear to you.

Two of Cups Love Reconciliation

For the attached, this card represents just that; the easy and meandering joy of a life spent in love together.

It also brings a soaring sense of calm and peace, any recent transgressions or arguments will be salved by time and love. The relationship will grow once again like daffodils in spring. When love is lost, The Two of Cups often speaks of lingering feelings - an old partner has not moved on, they still dwell in the memories of your good times. Feel the same? Now is the time to extend an olive branch and reconcile in glorious romance and love. 

Two of Cups As Friendship

The 2 of cups Reversed

 

Reversed Two of Cups in a reading

The Two of Cups in the reversed position signifies a need to control your emotions. Right now you are overly empathizing with people or getting stuck in a sentimental mindset that is counterproductive; because it has reached such an extreme that you forget yourself and what you are trying to do. Control your urges to heal and comfort everyone that you run into. Disagreements and misunderstandings can cause an imbalance in friendships or relationships, but that is normal. Do not let your ‘ego’ get in the way of what is right. Pay attention, listen, and don’t be so demanding.

Two of Cups Reversed - Love and Romance

A canyon of unspoken words, communication that’s fizzled away into nothing - how can you solve problems that haven’t been aired? The reversed Two of Cups carries serious news: you have disconnected from your partner. Where mutual love and respect once flourished, now is only resentment and simmering distaste. But the issues arise primarily from the tension of things left unsaid than from the things themselves, you need to sit down and have a real discussion.

Keep an open mind, try to foster genuine compassion via your connection like two wires making a spark. There are no guarantees here; you may find that discussing your issues proves that they are unsolvable or maybe it will be much easier to sort than imagined. Either way, there’s no point in avoiding this necessary next step. 

For those without a partner, the reversal of this card refers to emotional turbulence and stress which may be keeping you from connecting with others. Just like unsaid words, unprocessed stresses can poison the mind and block out the rest of the world; forge friendships, find people to talk to so that you can clear your head and open your heart.

Two of Cups reversed - Family and Home

Family is representative of unconditional acceptance, with the rest of the world you may suffer embarrassment or judgement, but not so at home. And still, it seems you hold back - this reversed card reminds you that repressing feelings or misrepresenting your thoughts causes more problems than it solves. 

Miscommunication thickens sadness so that it becomes harder to combat, sometimes bullying exacerbates this state. Harmony requires equal input from every person, take the time to hear the perspectives of every person within the family unit and set about cooling any anger with the ice of thought-out words. Remember, reserve judgement and instead seek understanding. Love is the foundation of all family, allow it to flow between you and you can find light at the end of the tunnel. 

Two of Cups Reversed - Work and Finances

Like leaves falling in autumn, something that has gone rotten and it's impacting your work. It could be a business partnership, work handled with a colleague or a general sense of lacking comradery that’s fizzled away into something sour. This reversed card warns of disconnect at best and sabotage at worst; someone meant to be on your side no longer has your best interest at heart. Do not respond to aggression with aggression, instead seek out new, healthy working relationships and you’ll find that new seeds can still sprout up in the wake of what has died. Keep a keen eye on your finances, be savvy to scams and avoid reckless spending for there may be changes income for you soon. 

Two of Cups Reversed - Health and Wellness

Your muscles coil with stress, your bones ache and there’s a general sense of disease flowing through your veins. Sometimes the antics of life distract us from our one and essential home: our body. Even the best sports cars need servicing from time to time, now is a good moment to seek out a general medical check; watch out for health issues relating to lost balance like high blood pressure or extreme fatigue. The best technique for remedy is to build healthier habits into your daily life that will enable you to maintain a natural harmony within your health. 

Two of Cups Reversed - Personal Spirituality

The universe opens its arms for you, it has messages of love to whisper in your ear and yet you miss these words of guidance because you are turned the wrong way. You have become unbalanced, if you’re not careful you may fall; reopen your heart, open yourself to the universe and you’ll reconnect with the spiritual path you must walk. Remember this is a natural journey, there’s no need to force it, trust in your destiny and meditative thought are the best way to return to enlightenment.

The Six of Wands

 
 

The Six Of Wands Tarot Card Meaning

Congratulations are in order for a success in your life recently.

The Six of Wands is a card of triumph and victory and says that currently you are in a place in your life where you have the right to feel proud. Of course, too much pride can get in your way, so you want to be sure you aren’t getting over-confident but all in all things are looking up for you. Typically this card will appear in a reading after some sort of test of wills. It is not a fluff card that represents small successes. Rather, this is a time of congratulations on something larger in your life. You can feel proud that you have put forth your best effort.

With the symbolism in the card we get the feeling that it is referring to emotion and material gain in your life represented by the colors green and blue. There is a rider with atop a white horse of victory and even his wand has a laurel tied to the top hanging like a banner. The card announces that you can celebrate in your own right. You are the master of your own destiny and your actions alone have set you on the correct path.

The card is very individualistic with a strong emphasis on what you have done correctly. Now is a time to be proud in yourself but not everything is roses. Understand that your success may attract negative attention by others who are jealous or envious of your achievements. Steer clear from those that would potentially want to see you knocked down a couple of pegs and secretly root for your failure. There is always that one person who is dissatisfied with their own lot in life that will not be happy for you. The Six of Wands serves as a reminder that not everyone around you can be taken at face value.

This is also a time in which you may feel an expansion emotionally or spiritually. You may feel a high from the rush of adrenaline for conquering the issues in your life as of late. Do not allow your confidence and joy to get too carried away. The battle that you have faced is over and you have succeeded. Allowing your exuberance to knock you off your guard in other areas can be detrimental, especially in court or legal battles.

***NOTE: Should you find your victory is related to legal issues specifically be prepared for an appeal or someone that will try to question the judgment in some way. You have a good standing for success but don’t allow communications or bragging to trip you up. Be mindful of texts, emails, letters, and verbal interactions so that they do not get taken out of context later and used against you.

The Six of Wands in Love

The Six of Wands is a great card for love in that it denotes a coming together between two or more people.

Anything to do with celebration, joy, and sharing news of your success is represented by the Six of Wands.

Now is a great time to think about what you want out of a relationship and to vocalize it. The fiery nature of the card does offer a warning about being too optimistic or rushing into things. You are in a good place right now and it’s a great idea to discuss what you want… but don’t put the cart before the horse. Right now it’s simply an idea you are putting out there. Do not expect action right away.

Another meaning that is associated with the Six of Wands is focusing on the positive rather than the negative. In all truthfulness, this lesson is felt in many of the wands cards because it is a fiery and passionate suit. With the Six of Wands, opposed to other cards in the wands suite, the emphasis is on celebrating the good and putting complaints or arguments on the back burner for a while. It can be a sign to wipe the slate clean in a relationship or give a pass to your partner regarding a recent disagreement. Lay down your swords, now is not the time to fight. Find common grounds in your relationship and explore new hobbies or interests together. Focus on the ways in which you and your partner fit and realize the flaws that are in your relationship would probably be in any relationship that you have. The issues going on around you right now are trivial in comparison to the big picture. Don’t allow negative focus to mess up a good thing.

Eight of Wands Tarot Card Description

The wands flash across the sky like arrows, they are a blur of power and radiance. Like the wands, you must move swiftly and decisively. The butterflies that fly about the wands - vivid and free - signify aimless movement, you are an expatriate soul wandering the earth.

This card whispers that travel, fastness, and movement are the order of the day. You have important news on the way and there will be slow but progressive and positive growth in your affairs due to a heightening of your senses connecting both earthly energies and cosmic ones. You are finally about to come to the end of your goals, the end of the journey, and your hard work will be bringing you great rewards.

As we speak, the action is being taken, paperwork is being sorted out, and your affairs are coming to a close in the most efficient and solid way possible. If you have recently had an obstacle come up that makes you feel as though you were stopped in your tracks, it will be transformed for you into something tangible, creative, and productive.

The image of the Eight of Wands is that of 8 staves flying through the air at maximum speed. Having sped through the country, they are going to be able to take their rest soon, having utilized all of their energy. This is symbolic of hope in haste, and sometimes too rapid of an advancement. This can mean that you could be pushing too hard to get something done too fast, and this card is cautioning you to take a little bit more time to make sure that everything is being handled appropriately. Coming news could range from letters of love to news of travel via air.

At this point in time, all that you desire is being presented to you. Draw on the active energy of the staves flying through the air and allow yourself to have enthusiasm about your future and current circumstances. When you are enthusiastic, you get other people excited to help you as well. Your personal freedom of speech and expression are extremely important to you. Consider meditation to calm your larger impulses so that you can wait till you have all of the information before acting. If you take the traits that you are learning about and bring what you already know to the table you will combine your efforts into one harmonious whole. You have a commitment to matters that are spiritual. Pursue this energy and it will take you far.

Through your communication with God or higher source energy, you are able to be moved farther and faster than you ever thought possible. That is why this card is so good for you at this point in time. You have worked hard for a long time, and now you should be able to rest. Resting in prayer and in intentional thought is what the 8 of Wands requests of you. But keep in mind that you do not have to worry about your affairs taking a pause if you do. You have already put plenty into motion and so nothing is going to be able to stop that from happening. In this instance, you just get to rest and you do not have to worry about negative repercussions. The power and connectivity to divine source energy are very common in the suit of the Wands.

Is this a forest fire about to die down, or a situation that’s about to spiral into something much worse?
