Two of Swords Meaning - General

The Two of Swords meaning in general indicates being caught up in a cross situation. A situation where one needs to make a choice between two opposing people, ideas, thoughts, decisions, options, etc. Or a conflict between one's rational mind and intuitive mind.

In any case, there is immense inertia to make this choice.

It indicates a tendency to want to let the situation slide by and resolve on its own. But this is wishful thinking, because the situation needs you to take an informed call. No matter how hard you try, it is not possible to stay impartial or walk the middle path.

Two of Swords in tarot is about turning a blind eye to the situation and trying to avoid one’s fears. The water at the back represents emotions, and so the card speaks of blocked emotions given that the person is blindfolded and cannot see the water.

The crescent moon in its waxing phase suggests that it is time to take new actions as the moon matures and grows over the next few days.

What one needs to remember is that there are no wrong decisions here. The key is to find courage to make a choice and move ahead in this journey.

Let us look at the Two of Swords in specific contexts of a love tarot reading and career tarot reading. Remember to apply all the above general readings to the below readings as well.

Two of Swords Love

Love Reading for Relationships

Two of Swords in love suggests a totally stalemate situation. Communication is missing and probably you or your partner is stonewalling the other.

Two of Swords could indicate frequent arguments, a need to take a decision on way forward, one way or another. But there is reluctance to do so.

This could be because of fear of the pain such a decision could bring about. But the question is how long can you put off the decision for? Clearly that is not your solution.

Applying the general reading here, Two of Swords in love could also indicate a choice one needs to make between two relationships. Probably you are being torn apart between two people, two relationships.

There is a need to bring in some space and time in your life to weigh the pros and cons of each option and choose the one that is logical and feels rationally correct.

Love Reading for Singles

One of the obvious situations for singles with the Two of Swords is probably a choice to be made between two potential dates or partners.

However, maybe there are deeper issues here. Are you too blinded by fear – such as fear of being single, being lonely. And is such a fear hindering your ability to express yourself, for the fear of being rejected?

Two of Swords also stands for avoidance. So potentially this could indicate someone trying to avoid being in a relationship for fear of getting hurt.

The card could indicate being blinded by fear. Now what fear this is, and what is the choice that is becoming a stalemate, can be answered best by the person themselves.

Having said that, the Two of Swords encourages you to make that decision. You need to own up the consequences, but whatever you choose is going to take you on a life path that is your destiny. Any decision is the right decision, and so there is nothing to worry about.

Two of Swords Career & Finance

Let us go by the general interpretations of the Two of Swords to read this in a career context.

This card could denote someone being torn between two options, people, colleagues, bosses at work. Probably there are two different camps of thoughts or two different points of view, and you don’t want to be appearing to take sides. You wish to be impartial and appear loyal to both camps.

Or maybe there is a choice to be made between two job options, either two new options, or between your current job and new opportunity. Clearly this looks like a tough call for you. So tough that you have blindfolded yourself and are hoping for some divine intervention.

It is possible that in this situation, you do not have all the information to make this choice. The presence of the moon in the card could indicate hidden details. Ask the right questions, get the necessary information to empower yourself to make this decision.

In context of finance, this card could indicate a sense of denial. Probably you are turning a blind eye to your deteriorating financial situation and spending merrily. It is time to tighten your purse strings, downsize expenses. Seek help if required in dealing with the situation.
