Two of Cups & Three of Swords
Based on my own practical experience of the Tarot, the Two of Cups and the Three of Swords can be interpreted as complementary opposites.
The Two of Cups often comes up when two people meet each other for the first time and there's an immediate strong mutual attraction. It represents pure heart-felt desire that conforms to no fixed boundaries, limiting mental conditioning, or belief systems, or established social conventions, or 'morality'. It comes straight from the heart and knows no bounds. And therein lies a potential challenge.
The challenge is whether or not the two individuals' mundane circumstances, conditioned personal mind-sets, and social positions are able to accommodate the development of an intimate 'relationship'. If not there may be great frustration and sadness.
The Three of Swords emphasizes the purely mundane elements of a relationship. When it comes up in a reading there is the chance that a separation will occur because of the mundane aspects surrounding the relationship. For example, the two people might discover that they have very different belief systems, or ideas about 'relationships', or that their lifestyles are incompatible. In cases such as these, if the relationship is to survive it must resolve the mental or physical conflicts and therefore evolve into a new mundane form.
Note: Sometimes, but not always, the Three of Swords reversed represents a couple getting back together after a separation.
