THE TWO OF SWORDS

TODAY'S CARD IS The Two of Swords. This version is from The Wheel of Change Tarot, by Alexandra Genetti:




For comparison, here's The Two of Swords in the Rider/ Waite/ Smith deck:



THE TWO OF SWORDS: I've wanted for some time to post the unusual scissors version of The Two of Swords above. But some other card kept cutting it out of the first spot in the queue. And now, at last, justice prevails. Or at least what's sometimes referred to as the mini-Justice card. :-)

DIFFERENT TAKES ON THE TWO OF SWORDS:

Judgments about self or others; others may be judging your actions.

Don't cut someone off without very careful consideration.

Conforming to keep the peace.

Temporary peace.

Stalemate.

Someone may cut you out or off.

Someone may appear to be cutting you off, but they may be simply attempting to balance out their lives at the moment.

Indecisiveness; "Six in one, half a dozen of another."

Enough intellectualizing, give over to your intuition (or vice versa).

Balance between intellect and intuition.

Take your time making the choice; listening to both intellect and intuition.

Rising above conflicts.

Here is the place and the time is now; "X marks the spot."

Don't shut your eyes to the imbalance in this matter in your well-meaning desire to be fair. Sometimes one "side" needs to be backed over the other in order to achieve true equity.

Reconciliation.
