You Have Two Options and Both of Them Are Bad
Crossroads
The Two of Swords is a crossroads. The woman in the card holds two knives crossed in front of her. The tide comes in. She is very still. She wears a blindfold that she could easily cut off. She might as well be stuck at a fork in the road.
Decision Time
The Two of Swords comes to you when you have a decision to make, and you really don’t want to. You don’t like either option. This whole situation just sucks. The blindfold, which this woman has willingly put on to avoid confronting what is in front of her, symbolizes denial. It’s an ableist metaphor; even blindfolded, you could still be considering your options, making a plan, or asking for help. Your vision is not the problem here—the situation and your lack of response to it is.
Pick a Sword
Whelp, you’re not going to like this, but the only way out of this situation is to pick a sword. Maybe you’re in denial, unable to think clearly, or honestly don’t know what the right choice is. Regardless, you’ve procrastinated long enough. Face the situation as objectively as you can. The problem isn’t going to go away just because you ignore it.
