First Decan Cancer, Two Water, Two Cups
Love, Tarot Two Water, Two Cups
Love, first decan Cancer Tarot Two Water, Two Cups, and each of the other minor arcana cards, numbered Two, exhibit qualities ascribed to Chokmah, the second sephirah of the QBL Tree of Life. Tarot card images for the Minor Arcana in Tarot of the Morning Star are depicted as binary code figures.
The planetary quality of Chokmah is Uranus and each of the minor arcana cards numbered “Two” expresses a quality of this planet colored by the card’s elemental suit: fire, water, air, and earth.
In astrology, the energies of Uranus are explosive, electric, and focused on the unusual. Thus resulting in dramatic and original change bypassing the ordinary. Uranus is forward–looking; it resists tradition and celebrates originality and individuality. Uranus is associated with technology, innovation, discovery, and all that is progressive, all of which are attributes of Chokmah.
Water is a fluid element, and Uranus is a planet of change and transformation. This combination could be seen as a representation of the unpredictable and unconventional nature of Uranus. People who are more traditional or conservative may view this as eccentric or strange behavior, as it does not fit within their expectations of what is normal or accepted. The influence of Uranus on Water reminds us to be open to new ideas and perspectives, willing to embrace change and transformation as opposed to obsession with the past.
First Decan Astrological Allocation
First Decan Cancer has the astrological allocation of Venus in Cancer explaining the card’s title of Love. These influences introduce qualities of benevolence and harmony that counterbalance Uranian explosive coloration. Uranian violent explosive qualities will here be experienced as finding oneself swept away by enthusiasm. This is especially true when recognizing the desire for another, romantic lightning bolt syndrome, or the discovery of one’s life purpose. Love at first sight, soul mates, two halves of a whole discovering harmony.
Considerations
Love signals growth and quest. It is not a static state but a dynamic process of becoming. The card symbolizes the desire of two or more conscious entities to merge into a synchronized and vital pulse. It represents recognizing one’s daemon in the physical form of another. It’s not merely about balance; it’s about empathy and a refreshing current of bliss.
This influence can also be experienced as an urge to consume and absorb. Keep in mind that the Archetypal influence behind this card is Chariot.
Decan Signature
When failing to understand what any minor arcana card is saying, we should allow ourselves to be driven back to our specific inner voice of the decan for resolution.
In this example of Two of Water, the conjunction of major arcana cards Chariot and Empress, corresponding to Cancer and Venus is the specific signature of this decan and will be projected through the personality type represented by the Queen of Water. The elemental quality of Queen of Water corresponds to Water of Water. Her tendency is to temper any expressive idiosyncrasies the qualities of this card might encourage.
Each of the elemental Queen court cards corresponds to the Water aspect of their respective elemental suite.
