Two of Cups upright meaning
Two people turn toward each other and both mean it. The Two of Cups is the card of genuine mutuality — a bond, a truce, a partnership where the exchange runs both ways. It works only between equals, so check that the cups are actually level.
Two of Cups reversed meaning
The exchange has gone one-way, or a bond is out of balance — one side pouring, the other holding the cup still.
Advice of the card. Ensure that your partnerships are built on a foundation of equality. If you find that you are the only one investing effort into a connection, it is time to rebalance or step away.
