The Two of Cups is wonderland of intimacy. We are not meant to live alone.
Even when we are by ourselves, we are—or should be—intimately connected
spiritually with the Universe (the One, the Creator, God, etc.) But this card
refers more to physical intimacy with the parts of Universe’s creations, rather
than the metaphysical and spiritual connection that we have with The Universe.
One of the harshest punishments that we can deal to other humans (and
indeed, all the Universe’s creations such as plants and animals) is to separate
them in isolation from others. And the harshest spiritual punishment is
isolation from God. That is Hell.
We need intimacy; we crave intimacy; we whither away without it. This is
part of the reason why we feel so badly when an intimate partner leaves us for
whatever reason. That is why we feel so good when in love. That is why we are
so elated when a new intimacy comes into our lives.
When we draw the Two of Cups, it joyfully heralds this new intimacy coming
into our lives. It may be the classic boy/girl romance of cuddles, kisses, and
joining together of mind, body, and spirit, but it also could also herald any
number of other types of intimacy and intimate relationships such as we may
form with people, places, animals, etc.
We are not meant to wonder lonely, alone, and bitter. We need these deep,
intimate, emotional connections. We feel, in these kinds of infinite loving
moments, a reflection of the deeper mystical, metaphysical loving connection
that we have with the Universe that created us and provides us with our forever
home.
