Bonding Agent

From Hadar's Le Veritable Tarot de Marseille, the Two of Cups; from the Greek Alphabet Runes, 'Kappa:'

          The two Piscean fish - known for swimming in opposite directions - come face to face in this card. Bursten assigns 'interacting' to the Cups suit and 'dialogue' to the Twos. Those fish are obviously having a positive meeting and a productive conversation judging by the blooms sprouting between them. Yet the covered cup below suggests there is more to come if things keep progressing in this direction. Kappa is a letter used in psychology and psychiatry as a symbol for measuring reliability. In Japanese folklore, the kappa were creatures who were incapable of breaking an oath. These draws imply that this relationship (Two of Cups) hinges on honesty and trustworthiness. Even when two people look at situations from opposite viewpoints, dependability, loyalty, and truthfulness can be the glue that holds the connection together.
