Two of Swords
The Two of Swords represents a forced compromise and the need to accept circumstances as they are. Like scissors with blades facing opposite directions, this card suggests a state of paralysis where action is futile. The situation requires patience and waiting rather than forcing change, as the elements are tightly bound together and cannot be separated at this time.

Symbolism
Scissors with blades pointing in different directions. What can you cut with them? Nothing. This resembles a forced compromise where it's necessary to accept what's happening, since running away or taking action is useless. After all, they are tightly bound together with a screw. You are forced to wait until the situation turns in our favor.
Card's Message
Right now, it's better for the person to take no action, to make compromises, and not seek anything new or try to push against the current. Don't attempt to break connections, but simply wait it out.
Visual Description
A large pair of ornate scissors lies vertically against a yellow wooden background, the blades pointing upward and meeting at the center. The handles are carved in a skull-like motif and show delicate engraved patterns. Teal and orange flowers and scattered petals frame the image along the edges. A cream border at the bottom contains the word "SWORDS" and small numerals "2" at each lower corner.
