Two of cups
The second card in the Cups suit brings the promise of romance, mutual understanding, emotional bonding and love. It’s the card of the blessed unity and more often than not can represent a lesbian relationship.
Two of Cups [Upright]
This card has two people and two cups on it. Older decks have a man and a woman, but many modern (newer) decks have two women, actually undines, depicted on this card, as the Water element is of female modality. There’s also an angel in the form of a lion and he is blessing the union of the two cups (and people) depicted on the card.
The landscape is filed with fertile and pastel colors that bring forth a positive sensation and a promise of a better future that is to come. In the distance we also see a house with a red roof hidden in the green trees, this signifies a safe and cozy atmosphere for the two people at the center of the card.
