This needn’t be about another person though – such relationships may also exist between you and something else – for instance a practice, a role, or a place. It’s about that bond of love or friendship that enables us to be truly open and comfortable with someone else.
The number two here is important – this is about an intimate exchange between two people. If you have multiple lovers, it points to your relationship with one person in particular. If you have a partner, this card may be pointing to that relationship.
These are the few tentative and bold first steps into a new relationship built on love and trust. I’ll show you my heart, if you show me yours. Feeling the fear, maybe, but reaching out all the same. How often do we hold back what we really feel, for fear of rejection, or ridicule, or simply not fitting in? How often do we push down what we really feel, unable to accept our own desires? Falling in love is a risk, saying “I love you” is riskier still. Though falling in love is not the only interpretation of this card, it’s a good metaphor for its message. There is so much trust here, so much willingness to be naked in this way. You offer your cup – a container for all the love and pain and mystery in your heart – to someone, to something. To give of yourself, and to receive, too. This is how it feels to open up your heart and offer its contents to another. This is what it looks like to be generous and vulnerable.
