Two of Swords Meaning

The figure in the Two of Swords sits blindfolded, holding two crossed swords — a picture of deliberate indecision and choosing not to see the truth. You may feel stuck between two options that both seem painful, but you can't keep your eyes closed forever.

The Two of Swords reversed describes a long-postponed decision finally being made, or a stalemate made worse by information overload. The cost of ignoring the truth may have grown heavy; it's time to take off the blindfold.

There's a decision you know deep down but have been avoiding — perhaps whether to stay or go, perhaps whether to admit how you feel about someone. Keeping the blindfold on doesn't make the choice any easier; it only delays it.

You may be caught between two options without being able to tell which is right. To break this deadlock you might need to gather more information or talk it through with someone you trust. Staying undecided is a decision too — and usually the most expensive one.
