When people ask about love, the card they want to see is the Lovers card. But the love card I like best is the 2 of cups. Sometimes when we are young, to feel safe, we want the other person to love us more than we love them; or to feel that this is a grand experience, we want someone to adore. But a mature love is when both people put the same amount of energy into the relationship, which is what the 2 of cups symbolizes for me.
Recently I had a
reading where a good man loved my client, but she didn’t love him back, and the
more he loved her, the less she could breathe.
I said that just because someone has feelings for you, you are not
obligated to return them. You don’t have to love someone back. What you do have to do is be kind, and treat
them gently, but their feelings don’t make them deserve you.
That’s why I find
the Two of Cups so beautiful – when both lovers are putting the same amount of
energy into the relationship, creating a perfect balance.
