However, if you have been practising single card readings for a while a 2 card spread will be a great introduction into reading multiple cards.

The meaning of the cards will depend on what kind of reading you are doing and the question you asked the deck. This is a guide covering the general meanings of the cards and how they relate to each other.
Common 2-card spreads
Whilst it’s great to know who these two cards interact with each other, it’s important to note that the meaning will depend on the context of your spread
The most common 2 card spreads I recommend to newer readers are:
- The 2 card cross (otherwise known as “The Fool’s Journey”)
- The 2 card “Yes or No”
“The Fool’s Journey”
Setup: The two card cross is where you place two cards face up, one placed vertically and with one laying horizontally over
Interpretation: The 2 cards represent a “situation” and a “challenge”. The first card will describe the situation you are in with the second horizontal card being the “challenge” crossing you (literally crossing you in this case!)
Reading: Using the overviews in this guide is a great way to start. First, look at the meanings of the 2 cards, and see how they might relate either as your “situation” or “challenge”. Once you have that you can look at the general overview for how the two cards interact with each other.
The benefit of this spread is that it can give clarity when you’re feeling uncertain or anxious. Once you have clarity of thought, and a strong idea of what your challenge is you can find solutions to help your situation
The 2 card “Yes or No”
Setup: The 2 card “Yes or No” is where you place two cards face up side by side, whilst asking your deck a “yes or no” question.
Interpretation: Each card in a tarot deck has a “yes” or a “no” meaning. Look at the meanings of each card, and you will have your answer.
The benefit of this is you get a stronger yes or no compared to a single card draw. You may find you often get a mix of “yes or no”, and this is fine. It simply means there is doubt, or things are not yet clear.
Yes or No meaning
Things are a bit tricky for this combination, as 10 Of Pentacles and 4 Of Cups mean different things. The cards are unsure about your question, or the answer to the question has not yet been decided.
The “Yes” and “No” meanings can differ from reader to reader. The meanings here are based on what I believe are the generally accepted definitions.

What does 4 Of Cups mean?
Health: The 4 of Cups Tarot card suggests that there is an underlying feeling of apathy and unfulfillment when it comes to physical health. It may indicate that the subject may be stuck in a destructive cycle of unhealthy lifestyle habits such as overeating, lack of exercise, or even substance abuse. It may also point to feeling unfulfilled and bored with traditional health goals such as weight loss. This card could also suggest that the subject is not taking the necessary precautions to maintain their physical health, and instead opting for convenient but ultimately unhealthy choices.
Finances: The 4 of Cups Tarot card usually portends a state of stagnation when it comes to finances. It can indicate a lack of motivation to increase wealth and financial security, indicating a feeling of apathy when it comes to money. The subject may also be feeling a sense of unfulfillment when it comes to achieving their financial goals. Instead of investing in their own future and security, the subject may be more focused on short-term gains that may not bring about lasting benefits. Additionally, the 4 of Cups Tarot card can also suggest surprise gains, such as unexpected inheritance or other financial windfalls.
Relationships: The 4 of Cups Tarot card suggests a state of apathy and unfulfillment when it comes to relationships. The subject may be feeling bored and uninspired by their existing relationships, or even having a hard time feeling fulfilled in relationships. This can point to a stagnation in relationships, with little effort being put into maintaining and nurturing them. The 4 of Cups Tarot card may also indicate that the subject is having trouble being open to new relationships or experiences, which could lead to feeling lonely and isolated.
