Tarot cards have been known to mankind since time immemorial. There are still several versions of their origin - from the most ordinary to the mystical. Each person chooses which one to believe in him. But be that as it may, professional magicians and those who do this at home out of curiosity are guessing at the Tarot. In order to know your fate, you need to understand the meanings of each card and be able to interpret them in combination with each other. It is the ability of a fortuneteller to “read” the alignment that determines the volume and reliability of the knowledge gained. Today we look at the tarot card deuce of the Wands.
78 doors: a few words about the deck
The tarot deck consists of seventy-eight cards. Since ancient times, fortunetellers and magicians have claimed that these are not just pictures, but real doors to the other world. Each leads to a certain point of fate, and looking at several doors, you can see a whole piece of life canvas. Therefore, the card dealings on the Tarot have always been in demand and still not only magic service professionals are actively using the deck.
If you give a brief description of the cards, it must be noted that the deck is divided into two groups. They are called lasso and are divided into older and younger. There are only twenty-two major arcana games; fifty-six cards fall into the second group.
Since we are interested in 2 Wands, we will consider minor arcana, to which this card belongs. The group has four suits, which correlate with all the known elements: fire, water, earth and air. Each element patronizes fourteen cards, among them are numerical and court cards. When interpreting the layout, all the nuances of the drawn cards are considered: the element, number or picture, as well as a combination with other cards.
Beginners often complain that the most difficult thing is to determine the value of precisely numerical cards. Since it requires knowledge not only about the Tarot, but also from the field of numerology. Only then the alignment will be read correctly.
The Two of Wands in the Tarot symbolizes fire. Often magicians call Wands Staves or Scepters. Therefore, do not be surprised if you hear exactly that name of the card that has fallen in the layout. In any case, it is true, and the value of 2 Wands does not change from this.
External map description
In the entire history of the Tarot, several interpretations of the images of the deck can be distinguished. The Two of Wands in the Tarot has changed their image more than once, but its meaning has always remained unchanged. Any artist portrayed a man on top of a tower who was looking at his possessions from a height. He stands between two staves, and in his hand holds a kind of globe. Interestingly, in one of the interpretations on the map a beautiful woman was depicted. The description said that she had been awaiting her husband, a wealthy lord, from the war. Along her silhouette, anxiety and longing were read, but the card was devoid of feelings of hopelessness and inaction. Rather, on the contrary, the lady is ready for action and at the given moment is making a clear plan.
Another artist drew on the Tarot card the deuce of the Wands of the lord, endowed with power and in full military uniforms. From it, it blows with the power and strength that the card denotes in many handouts. Moreover, it is interesting that the seigneur himself is facing the fortunetellers. It is as if he had already made some decision and is ready to act. Only one step separates him from descending from the tower and rushing into battle.
In the modern interpretation, the map looks more than familiar. It already depicts a middle-aged man of high descent. He enjoys watching his achievements from the height of the tower. The picture seen wakes up a lot of emotions in him. With one hand, a man holds on to a staff, and in the other holds a model of the globe. This seems to indicate that he is already ready for new achievements and for him there are no barriers to achieving this goal.
On the one hand, the card symbolizes the understanding that a person has already reached all the material wealth of the world. But at the same time, he seems to deny them and is ready to start all over again, which means that both obstacles and achievements await him on this path. It is likely that they will be able to become more significant than the previous ones.
Most magicians believe that in the Tarot deck the two of Wands is one of the most controversial cards. It carries both the potential for new beginnings and a certain apathy. This is the duality of the map and its complexity for interpretation. But we will talk about this a little later.
The main ideas of the deuce
Beginners, who have just begun to study the meaning of the Tarot deck, need to accept a certain idea of each card. Usually it can be distinguished in the form of keywords and concepts. Then the general picture of the meaning will become visible, from which a clearer interpretation in the layout will be built in the future.
If we are talking about the deuce of Wands (Tarot), then such a description as new opportunities, achievements, vanity, ambition and the study of prospects is suitable for her. In a slightly more expanded form, the card carries a certain balance of power, balance and the ability to control itself. Reflections on the need for moving forward can be called her key idea. That is, the time has not yet come to move, but it is no longer possible to rest on our laurels. The map seems to make everything weigh and change the neutral position to a more active one. Often, having fallen exactly in the layout with the card of the day, the deuce of Wands (Tarot) indicates the need for an immediate decision, or, conversely, in combination with another card, stops recklessness, giving time to think and work out the plan.
Card Feature
First of all, when falling out of a pair of Wands, you need to think about the choice that fate provides. Looking at the map from the point of view of its basic symbols, we can say the following:
- it is connected with society and relations;
- the element of fire reveals it as a message to movement;
- two, based on numerology, refers to the elements of water, which in combination with the suit of the Tarot with respect to this card causes some opposition, resistance and delays on the way to the intended goal;
- the zodiac map corresponds to Libra and Aries, which can be interpreted as doubts and reflections on the new torn out;
- astrologically, this map is patronized by Mars, but it regularly comes into conflict with Libra, which in its deepest essence is impossible to be with this warlike planet;
- in one version of the card deck, the two are called Dominion, which indicates strength, the desire for power and determination.
Talk about the general meaning
The meaning of the two of the Tarot Wands has a very deep meaning and is not always immediately accessible for understanding because of its multi-layered nature.
First of all, it portends serious changes and achievements. If you are interested in business matters, then be sure that the card promises success. But only when using all your abilities, skills and abilities. The main thing is not to forget about perseverance and patience. The card highlights these two characteristics.
Often, the two of the Rods that fell in the layout describes the internal state of a person. She shows that he is very smart, has talents and a penchant for science, but does not always get along well with his surroundings. At the time of fortune-telling, conflicting feelings and emotions control him. He is in a situation where it is necessary to make a choice, but there is no perfect solution. Therefore, a person seeks to hide from others and observe the situation, abstracting from it.
Perhaps it is this position that causes laziness and inaction. They lead to problems, since the person at the top, reveling in his power and inner torment, completely forgets about those close to him. At this moment, his relationship crashes, but he does not notice this, considering all the signs of impending disaster imaginary. With this approach, isolation can be delayed, so 2 Wands require breathing new life and boldly go forward, turning your thoughts into clear beliefs.
The essence of the map
When this card appears, you can talk about the test. It consists in a difficult decision that a person needs to make. But up to this point he will have to form an idea and transform it from the realm of images into something real. This process is beyond the power of every individual, since it is very energy-consuming.
That is, on the one hand, a map means a forced stop for thought and awareness of needs. On the other hand, it directly indicates the need for action in spite of difficulties and external resistance. At the same time, it is difficult to predict what awaits a person on his way. Perhaps he will be able to succeed, but there is also a high probability of getting disappointed and surviving a complete collapse.
Direct layout
Fortunetellers always pay attention to exactly how the card fell. Indeed, from its location in the layout, sometimes beyond recognition, the meaning also changes. If it fell directly, then even in combination the two of Wands (Tarot) with other cards will mean courage, decisiveness and recklessness. Many fortunetellers say that it symbolizes the upcoming struggle for their ideals. Ahead are likely obstacles, trials, but any risk will justify itself and bring good results.
Direct alignment indicates the need to respond quickly and not to calculate the possible outcome. If you are in some kind of isolation or thinking about certain events, then you should completely change your attitude to the situation and act right now in spite of everything.
However, it is worth remembering that any efforts should be directed into the mainstream of creation. Only then will they bear fruit, and any obstacles seem insignificant.
Inverted Position
If you have an inverted two of Wands from the Tarot deck, it means that fate has prepared a change for you, but you doubt that you can go all the way. You lack confidence, and the upcoming changes are more scary than joyful. The inverted deuce can mean that a person is afraid of the future, but is even afraid to admit it to himself. Therefore, it experiences strong negative emotions for those who are more successful and openly moving towards change.
In general, the inverted 2 Staffs, or Wands, is not a completely positive and constructive sign. It forces a person to face their fears and see themselves without embellishment.
Love and relationships
For a love relationship, the two of Tarot Wands is far from the most favorable card. Since its very essence testifies to some isolation and loneliness. According to the laws of the universe, only one person can be at the top. And there is no place for affection or love passions.
If you make a deal for a loved one, then the card will tell you about the upcoming check. It may concern relations in general or affect only your partner. Also quite likely is the struggle between two close people among themselves. In this sense, power, money, position in society are meant. Perhaps your loved one will suddenly become your rival at work or take a higher social level that will affect you very deeply.
When the card is turned upside down in love, it symbolizes doubts. They consist in the fact that a person constantly experiences difficulties in communicating with the opposite sex, and therefore considers himself unattractive. In addition, the two Posokhov reveals the deception that a person conceived, having made some promises. Moreover, they are all caused by a thirst for profit and the desire to get profit. However, guided by these intentions, a person loses himself and his inner core.
Business Area: The Importance of the Card
In the dealings on business, the two of the Staves also means change. She says that your daily activities do not carry any prospects. You will not be able to take a dominant position and make the profit you dream of. Therefore, now is the time to start looking for a new place or try to open your own business. Fate will be favorable to you, and you will take full advantage of the chance.
If a person does not listen to fortune telling and does not take actions to change his life, then soon he will be overtaken by complete apathy to what is happening and depression.
Card value in combinations
The combination of Tarot cards with the two of Wands can give a completely unexpected result and push to a complete change in your destiny. For example, falling out together with Lovers speaks of infidelity in a relationship. Moreover, this may concern both the most fortuneteller and his partner. But in combination with the three of Swords, the Two of the Staves is a clear recommendation for breaking the relations that are being laid out.
An interesting combination with 9 Wands. Together, the cards speak of the birth of inspiration. A deuce with 9 Wands promises a creative upsurge, relating to all spheres of life.
If the deuce fell with the Empress, then it is time to think carefully about what is happening. To do this, you can go away or just be alone, but in any case, a thorough analysis of the current life situation is necessary.
But the Emperor paired with 2 Staves means the need to refuse to make a decision. Even if you are clearly forced to take any particular position, then refuse. Any choice will be bad and bring a lot of trouble. You better keep neutrality until the problem is completely resolved.
The jester and deuce of the Staffs promise to reach the summits, but at the very end of the path you will realize that they were ghostly and not worth the effort. Therefore, stop if you saw this combination in the layout.
The tower reinforces the negative value of 2 Staves. This is especially readable in its inverted form. Fortunetellers are advised to abandon any enterprise if both of these cards lay side by side. Regardless of the forecasts, they will bring failure.
