The Two of Cups is a very positive card. While it normally relates to unity and love in romantic relationships it can signify harmony and mutual respect and appreciation in friendships and partnerships.
A strong pair is indicated here, the joy of two becoming one.
The Two of Cups is an exchange. You offer your cup – a container for all the love and pain and mystery in your heart – to someone, to something. In return, you receive their cup. There is so much trust here, so much willingness to be naked in this way.


If the Ace of Cups represents the flow of love from within, the Two of Cups is the flow of love between two people. With this card, you are creating deep connections and partnerships, based on shared values, compassion, and unconditional love.
When the cameras started rolling on Phyllis Papps and Francesca Curtis in October 1970, both their lives and Australia would never be the same.
Fifty-one years ago, the pair made history by being the first lesbian couple to come out on national television, in an interview with the ABC’s This Day Tonight.
“The early 1970s were very, very conservative … Gay women were invisible, because people didn’t think lesbians existed,” said Ms Papps.
The Tarot Card Two of Cups as a person is someone who is very well-balanced and content with their life. They have a strong sense of inner peace and harmony and can bring that positivity to their relationships. They are devoted to their emotions and can express them clearly and openly to those around them.
Ms Papps and Ms Curtis, who are still together and live on Victoria’s Phillip Island, have once again shared their story.
