How would you interpret 2's in relationships, including the High Priestess? If someone wasn't in a relationship and received many twos, would that suggest meeting someone?
There is plenty posted on the 2 of cups, so I am more interested in the others.
Thank you for your help
Okay - lets see 2s in a relationship
2s are about connecting and bonding with someone or something...or not depending on how the card is aspected...
The Flavor of that connection is reflected in the particular suit of the 2...
2 of Swords upright in a relationship...
Making a mental connection with someone, thinking alike or along the same lines...being in tune with someone, agreeing...
Reversed difficulties finding common ground in a relationship, possible indecision about some aspect of the relationship or of those involved...
2 of Wands upright in a relationship...
Connecting with what makes a person feels strong or good in a relationship, Connecting with what gives a person a sense of identity in a relationship
Reversed - one of the parties involved has more power than the other, there is a sense of not belonging
2 of Cups upright in a relationship
Bonding, connecting, go with the emotional flow of what is happening in aspect of a relationship...
reversed...Person or persons involved do not feel able to bond or love or flow, emotional isolation
(Just a side note - the 2 of cups in itself is not necessarily about love or romance - it is about how someone connects or bonds yes but not necessarily in a romantic fashion - it could be describing a bond between parent or child, tenant or landlord, business partners, a person and their work or project, a person or people and a place) This card in conjunction with another or in a certain position inthe layout indicates what a person opens themselves up to and connects with or doesn't...
2 of Pents upright in a relationship
This is the physical give and take in a relationship, how people connect and interact...what do those involved do together, how do they do those things...
In a reversed position this 2 indicates difficulties trying to make something work; awkwardness, feeling unable to take the initiative in activities or not feeling connected to the activities those involved are engaging in....
The High Priestess in a relationship reading
She could be an indication of feelings and emotional ties below the surface... connections a person might feel that are not so obvious...upright those feelings are healthy and productive and serve a relationship...
Reversed there could be things below the surface not said, secrets, thoughts that are not so positive about another person...they undermine the relationship for the way they give service to the shadow side of a relationship...
''If someone wasn't in a relationship and received many twos, would that suggest meeting someone?''
Not necessarily - the cards around those 2s would indicate what the 2s were relating to; the placement in the layout also counts, the questions asked make a difference...how were the cards aspected and so on...
