Literary Tarot: Two of Cups

“To love another is something like prayer and can’t be planned, you just fall into its arms because your belief undoes your unbelief.” - Anne Sexton

Two of Cups - Partnership, unity, mutual love, support, connection, bonding, balanced relationships, bringing out the best in each other

The Two of Cups represents a bond that is balanced, mutual, and supportive. Romantic, platonic, or otherwise — love requires our trust in its existence. As we learn to trust ourselves, the recipients of our love, and the bond of love itself, we open ourselves up to its bountiful gifts. Love is also an intentional act, a spiritual commitment to fostering the relationship. What we grow with this intention, this prayer, nurtures the bond and sustains all involved.
