Two of Swords †

What the card shows

A blindfolded figure holds two crossed swords. The card points to a difficult choice and the protective pause before deciding.

Give each option an honest look rather than waiting for every uncertainty to disappear.

The suit of Swords

Swords belong to air. They concern thought, truth, conflict and clarity. Swords cards ask how you think, speak and decide, and where the mind could be gentler.
