The Two of Swords card from the Rider-Waite-Smith tarot deck

Swords

Two of Swords

stalemate · avoidance · a blindfolded choice

Upright

Blindfolded, two blades crossed, back to the water. The Two is a decision being held off by not looking at the information that would make it obvious. The stalemate is being maintained rather than imposed, which is good news.

Reversed

Reversed, the blindfold tends to be coming off — or a decision has been made purely to end the discomfort of deciding, which rarely settles anything for long.

If this is your card this month

What would you have to admit for this choice to be easy?

A card is a prompt rather than a forecast. It doesn't know what will happen, and the useful part is what you do with the question it hands you. We make that case at more length in not a prediction, a mirror.

Where this card came from

If Two of Swords arrived on a postcard, it was drawn for you for that full moon, and the reflection on the back was written from what it means. And if it didn't, well — that's the other thing we do here: a card and a reflection in your mailbox every full moon.
