Two of Swords
The Two of Swords describes a period of transition and being between two worlds or choices, often involving relationships, jobs, or moves. Upright, it advises following intuition, communicating clearly, and accepting uncertainty while trusting a better future will emerge. Reversed, it highlights feeling stuck, unclear, or lacking information when forced to choose, which can pertain to relationships, family, or career dilemmas. Ultimately the card emphasizes that the asker already has inner resources and intuition to guide the decision, and that clarity will soon arrive if they take action.

Visual Description
A minimalist pink card shows two straight swords crossed at their centers, hilts facing down and elegant swept guards. Above the blades is a half-moon or crescent with radiating lines, and below the swords delicate ornamental dots and pendant shapes create a mirrored, symmetrical design. The words "TWO" appear at the top and "OF SWORDS" at the bottom in serif lettering. No figures are present; the composition emphasizes balance, geometry and symmetry in a restrained palette of rose and muted gold.
