Two of Cups and Two of Wands tarot card combinations

Cards combination description

Low arcan Two of Cups and low arcan Two of Wands combination - ‘mom and pop’ business, partnership in love and work.

Card 1 - Two of Cups

This card shows an image of a man and a woman that are exchanging their cups in a ceremony. There is the symbol of Hermes caduceus in between which is often related to negotiation, trade, cosmic energy, protection, proper conduct, and duality. The Two of Cups refers to something quite positive, for it is one of the most auspicious cards in the tarot for relationships, whether romantic, business or otherwise. It suggests a new partnership is in the works, and it will be created with balance, respect, and honor. Above the caduceus is a chimera, which symbolizes fire and passion also governs this partnership.

Associations:

Similar or supporting cards:
The Lovers (love relationship) all supporting marriage cards, Temperance (harmonious bond)

Opposing or contradictory cards:
Three of Swords (quarrels and upheaval) Five of Cups (let down or betrayal).    

Two of Cups combinations
For many readers, this is the card of engagement or marriage, although I prefer the Ten of Cups (but this is personal preference, as many see the Ten as happy home life, covered in later section). With the number two I see it as ‘continuation of,’ a progression, but in combination with other marriage cards would form part of that progression and association.

Card 2 - Two of Wands

The man in the Two of Wands is holding a small globe and stands on the roof of a castle, looking out over a vast terrain to the right and an ocean to the left. The globe in his hands represents that the world is his oyster and there is huge potential if he can expand his horizons to encompass broader life experiences. He understands his ambition and knows what must be done. He is wearing an orange tunic, which symbolises an enthusiastic approach to life, and a red hat, symbolising a passion for adventure.

Associations:

Similar or supporting cards:
Two of Pentacles (balancing more than one energy) Temperance (cooperation)    

Opposing or contradictory cards:
nbsp; Two of Swords (stalemate) Hanging Man (non-movement, Three of Swords (separation) Five of Wands (rivalry, obstacles)

Two of Wands combinations
As the card can suggest working with others, watch for Kings or Queens in close proximity to indicate the personality type of the other(s) involved.
