In search of answers to exciting questions, many people turn to Tarot cards. This is one way to look inside yourself and see any situation from various angles.
Short description and interpretation of the map
The traditional image of 2 swords in classic tarot decks: a blindfolded girl holds two swords in her hands. She is completely alone, focused on her inner world, not noticing anything around.
The sacred meaning of the lasso can be understood if you carefully look at the plot of the picture. A person is motionless, which symbolizes stagnation. The surrounding landscape only enhances this impression. In this case, this is not just peace and relaxation, but a stop associated with a lack of understanding of where to go next. Blindfolds indicate the impossibility of a sober look at what is happening. The moon in the night sky personifies intuition. The inner voice is able to suggest the right decision, but the person ignores it. In order to cope with overcoming doubts, he needs to achieve harmony between emotions and reason. Crossed swords symbolize the opposing sides of the person, a dilemma, controversial issues. It will be possible to make the right decision only when he finds balance and harmonizes his internal state.
Card value in the upright position
In almost all matters, the Two of Swords symbolizes duality, doubt, fear, misunderstanding and predicament. Most often, others perceive the person as calm and reasonable. But in fact, this is only the external side; doubts and insecurities overcome him.
Two of Swords (Tarot): meaning upside down
The meaning of this card in an inverted position further aggravates its basic meaning. In this case, a certain hopelessness is felt. Perhaps the person is no longer able to influence the situation, since the circumstances do not depend on him. The decision was made without his participation. But, despite the unpleasant consequences, he managed to see the real essence of what was happening, that is, to get rid of the blindfold.
Also, this minor lasso may indicate some other unpleasant moments: fraud, betrayal from others, deception, inability to concentrate and adequately assess the true state of things. This is only an incomplete list of what the two of swords can tell about. The tarot involves a deep analysis of not just one lasso, but its combination with other cards present in the layout.
Personality characteristic
If in the question of a specific person a card of Two of Swords is drawn, this describes, rather, the state in which he is at the moment, rather than his character as a whole. Arkan says that a man is at a crossroads, faced a dilemma and can not decide. At the moment, it is much easier for him to turn a blind eye to problems than to tackle a decision. Also, perhaps he suppresses his emotions. There can be many reasons: disappointment, fear of the unknown, an attempt to defend oneself from pain, a lack of willpower, a lack of understanding of what is happening, disbelief in oneself and one's strengths.
The current situation affects the character. Qualities such as incredulity, suspicion, uncertainty, isolation and emotional coldness may appear.
In this state, it is very difficult to change, but this is the only way out. If possible, you need to try to look at what is happening from the side and begin to act.
Love and relationships
In matters of relationships, the Two of Swords is far from the best card. She represents distrust, doubt and uncertainty. Temporary compromises are possible, but this does not solve the existing problem. There is no mutual understanding between partners. Between them reigns emotional coldness and indifference.
In some cases, the Tarot card of Two of Swords indicates that people hide their feelings, wanting to protect their inner world from external interference. In addition, a person does not want to understand the position of his partner, preferring to remain ignorant.
Work
The appearance of 2 swords in the layouts associated with professional activity and career portends temporary difficulties. Most likely, we are talking about some controversial issues, dubious projects and lack of information.
In some cases, this card should be taken as advice to find a compromise and try to reach mutual understanding between opponents. If the question concerned the position of the company as a whole, and not relations with competitors, then the lasso speaks of uncertain prospects, instability and temporary difficulties.
Another point that the Two of Swords can talk about is the calm and lack of development. This time should be devoted to organizing affairs. However, one cannot stay in this state for a long time, otherwise inaction will block all possible prospects.
Health status
In matters of physical health, the Two of Swords warns of possible problems with vision, as well as with the cardiovascular or respiratory system. Also, the lasso can talk about psychological problems, depression, apathy and the desire to close oneself from the whole world.
Situation
Two of Swords speaks of temporary difficulties. The questioner (that is, the person to whom the fortunetellers) was in a difficult position and could not find a way out. He is overcome by doubts. The reason lies in a lack of understanding of what is happening. Since a person does not see the whole situation, he cannot decide what is the best way to act. In some cases, this problem can have two solutions, and often radically opposite. The best way is to understand what is happening and, having cast aside all doubts, make a decision. Perhaps the root of the problem lies not in external circumstances, but in the questioner's attitude to what is happening.
In some cases, indecision and procrastination is much more dangerous than making any decision. An attempt to ignore problems does not at all help to eliminate them, but only exacerbates the situation.
Personal growth and spiritual development
In the layouts associated with self-development, the appearance of this minor lasso indicates doubts and hesitations that prevent a person from achieving success. This is a sign that the time has come to decide and make a choice. Achieving inner harmony is the only way to success.
The advice that the lasso gives is to try to take a sober look at what is happening, evaluate your inner state and external circumstances, prioritize and take action. Otherwise, the period of stagnation and doubt will last quite a long time, which can lead to devastating consequences.
Despite the specific meaning that the Two of Swords hides in itself, the value of the card can take on different shades, depending on what kind of lasso it is combined in the layouts. Therefore, you can get a more complete picture only when you analyze the answers and correlate them with what is happening around.
