Fig. 2.2.8 Two of Cups – the interaction of feelings.175

      .

      The defining feature of "Twos" is that emotions and feelings are always directed at someone or something. And if we're dealing with memories, the individual is completely immersed in them, to the point of losing touch with reality.176

      Three of Cups

      .

      – Why do you want to divorce your husband?

      – We have different religious beliefs.

      – Could you be more specific?

      – He doesn't acknowledge me as a goddess!

      .

      "Threes", according to the Kabbalah, represent the system, order, clarity.

      Cups are emotions, feelings, and memories.

      Thus, the Three of Cups is a system, order and clarity of emotions, feelings, memories.

      For example, it may symbolize the theatrical arts, yoga (as a system of regulating emotions), a diary, an autobiography (as a system of remembering).

      The cheapest, most effective and reliable laxative is an unexpected encounter in the forest, tet-a-tet, with an angry grizzly bear.

      "Fours", according to the Kabbalah, represent nature and all things natural, simple forms.

      Cups are emotions, feelings, and memories.

      For example, it may symbolize an involuntary smile, laughter, surprise, joy and other spontaneous emotions, feelings, and memories.
