General Meaning
The Two of Swords is characterized by an image of a blindfolded woman holding two swords crossed in front of her, representing indecision, choices, and a stalemate. It often suggests being at a crossroads, unable to make a decision due to lack of information or because of emotional barriers. The Two of Swords prompts individuals to confront their fears, gather more information if necessary, and make decisive choices. Avoidance isn't a long-term solution, and this card emphasizes the importance of addressing issues head-on.
