On the card
Two young people face each other and exchange cups as a pledge, beneath a winged lion's head rising above a staff entwined with two serpents.
Upright
This is a card of meeting someone halfway. It speaks of mutual attraction, friendship, understanding and the sweet feeling of being seen. Two people offer something of themselves and receive something back. Notice where a real exchange of feeling is happening and honour it.
Reversed
The balance between two people may feel off. Perhaps one gives more than the other, or desire is louder than genuine care. A misunderstanding could be creating distance. Speak honestly about what you feel and need, and listen for what the other person truly wants.
- Love & connection
- A meaningful bond, a mutual spark or a renewed commitment is highlighted. Treat each other as equals and keep the exchange of care alive.
- Work & purpose
- A partnership or collaboration built on respect can thrive now. Look for people whose values match yours.
- A prompt for you
- Offer your cup, and welcome the one held out to you.
