Two of Swords

SwordsMinor Arcana
Written By Quinn

Traditional Meaning

Mental Balance. The head and heart are in accord. Peace. Truce.

Going Deeper

The two of swords is often shown with a blindfolded person indicating that the perspective may not be clear. Nonetheless, a compromise has been reached, and for now, there is a state of mental balance. If you don't feel this is the case, then the two indicates that this balance will be reached quickly, usually within two days to two weeks. The scales can easily be tipped here, but the fact remains that a compromise is always possible when this card appears. Sometimes, this card will signify indecision and a refusal to make a choice.

Astro Insight

Moon in Libra. This represents a delicate balance between emotions and logic.

Examples With Other Cards

If this card appears with Justice,  any agreements reached will be as fair as possible; it may even be a legal ruling if you have any court dealings going on. With any of the heavier sword cards, it could indicate a temporary stalemate situation. The four of swords would suggest taking time out to do some thinking. With The Lovers, it could indicate a choice regarding an important relationship.
