Two of Wands

Brief Description

The Two of Wands signifies a yearning for adventure and exploration but also reflects a sense of hesitation and indecision. The figure in the card is deliberative, suggesting that while the desire to explore exists, one's current circumstances may hold them back. When inverted, the card warns of confusion and disorganization, indicating a need to pause and reconsider plans to avoid mistakes that stem from overconfidence or excessive indecisiveness.

The Man's Yearning for Adventure

The man is looking out into the world. It looks as if he’s longing for adventure. Why, then, has he bolted his walking sticks to the wall of his castle? He’s holding a globe, a representation of the whole world, yet he doesn’t seem to be going anywhere anytime soon. It seems to be very conflicting, but I think it’s about deliberation. He wouldn’t be looking out in the world if he were content with his own kingdom. He wouldn’t have the globe if he didn’t wonder what it contained. I think that this card represents hesitation. Sometimes you actually do have to look before you leap. I’m personally terrible at this, but I’ve heard it can be very effective.

Two of Wands Inverted

There is either hesitance regarding plans or disorganization. Either way, you need to take a beat before you rush into things, or you’re going to screw it all up. This card usually comes up right after someone has done just that. Overconfidence or excessive hesitance are both characteristics that diminish our natural talents and skills. If you say, 'I got this,' and then drop the ball, you’re not doing yourself any favors.
