The Two of Cups in practice

You look in each other's eyes and you know it. This is it. This is what you've been looking for for ever and now you've found it. This is the unconditional love which all the books that you've been reading were talking about. You give your love freely and expect nothing in return, and because you can not expect anything from the other he/she is able to freely give to you. It keeps your relationship alive.

The deep bond that you are looking for is being made on a deeper level. If you haven't met yet you will do so at a time that you do not expect it (anymore). Stop looking, but take care that you created your life the way it makes YOU happy. Fate will bring you together. It asks faith in the Universe so that it can create the situation in which you can manifest the things you want so deeply.

In a relationship is it of the utmost importance that you learn to stand on your own two feet. It is what the lion over teh two lovers is standing for. Be an individual in connection and learn to love yourself first before you share your love with someone else. The Two of Cups is often seen as THE card of a relationship but it is most of all a card of love for yourself.
