Two of Swords -

The Two of Swords is for choices—sometimes difficult choices. Though the person on the card is blindfolded, we cannot say whether this was intentional or not. If you think that this blindfold has a purpose, then that would be to keep the person from seeing something, such as the solution to an issue. Avoidance of this issue may be keeping the mind peaceful, but is that the best course of action?

Pretending that the problem doesn’t exist doesn’t mean that it will just disappear. In reality, avoiding problems will only raise more.

Perhaps, the blindfold means that you don’t have all the integral pieces of the puzzle. Perhaps, those issues you are trying to deal with are like rocks in the ocean. You don’t know how wide or dangerous they are when hidden beneath the surface. Thus, you need to look for paths through careful scrutiny and research. Don’t simply rush in and hope all will end well.

As this is the card of stalemate you need to wait until the time is right to decide and move forward. Listening to your intuitive knowledge, trusting yourself, and blocking out outside opinions is key to succeeding.

The two swords on the card mean that you are also seeking more balance in your intellectual pursuits. You may be in an “all work, no play” mode, and this is draining you. Take some time away from your usual thought processes. Seek out that which you don’t know. Look for alternative viewpoints.
