Keywords: stalemate · indecision · avoidance · a difficult choice
What you see on the card
A woman in white, blindfolded, sits on a stone bench, arms crossed over her chest holding two crossed swords. Behind her is still water with a few rocks, and a crescent moon in the sky.
Two of Swords upright
Blindfolded, holding two crossed swords: a stalemate kept in place by refusing to look — remove the blindfold and the way appears
Two of Swords reversed
The deadlock breaks: a choice is forced, and information comes flooding in
In love and relationships
In love, the Two of Swords shows a stalemate: avoiding a decision, refusing to look at something, keeping the peace by not talking. The blindfold is the key. Reversed, the deadlock breaks and a choice becomes unavoidable.
In career and money
At work, it points to a decision being postponed between two options that both have costs. More information will help — and so will admitting what you already know.
As advice
As advice: take off the blindfold. Write down both options honestly with what each will cost you, then choose — not choosing is also a choice.
In a reading, a card is never read alone: its position, its orientation and the cards beside it change what it says.
