Two of Swords
The Two of Swords represents an internal stalemate and the paralysis of indecision, symbolized by a blindfolded figure holding crossed swords. Emotional turmoil lurks beneath the surface, suggested by the churning waves behind the seated figure, while the crescent moon adds an atmosphere of tension and contemplation. The crossed swords highlight opposing ideas or choices that require resolution; upright, the card urges confronting dilemmas directly, while reversed it warns of avoidance. Ultimately it calls for lifting the blindfold—facing fears and uncertainties to find clarity and make a decisive choice.
