“It is our choices that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.” - J.K. Rowling
Element of air power: The Two of Swords depicts two swords pointing in the same direction. This display suggests that two thoughts may be in the forefront of your mind, both vying for your attention at the same time. You may feel confused, unable to decide which idea to choose.
When two thoughts converge, it is not easy to see any outcome. You may literally find yourself caught in the middle. If you find yourself in a situation where you must make a choice, most often you may also feel lost. You may have to choose or move from the one side to the other side to slowly unravel and find the solution that applies to this specific circumstance
This Two of Swords meaning may depict a warning to have caution. Like the woman in the card, you may be choosing to keep the blindfold on, hoping the problem will just go away or you may choose to avoid any issues that you are facing. I find that applying blind objectivity will help to clear up the situation in a natural way. This approach requires absolute trust that the outcome will be satisfactory and that you are guided through all this.
At times of Imbalance: The situation may be a stalemate of a catastrophic kind, where two forces are battling each other. This battle can be representative of internal or external energies or perhaps choosing between two people. If neither person involved seems particularly pleasing to work with, you may find yourself confused when you are forced be the in-between decision maker.
Whatever the situation, when you do make the decision, you will be choosing between two seemingly bad outcomes
Medicine: It is important to know that you always have a choice. This choice may not necessarily be the ideal solution to these particular opposing thoughts, but you can also choose to not do anything about it.
The Two of Swords reminds us of an eternal balance. As opposed to feeling that you can't see the outcome or feeling trapped, visualize the outcome in a balanced way without controlling anything. To balance everything requires you to find your internal balance first, while you are feeling stuck in the middle. Using the overpowering energy from both sides to find the natural balance that will help.
Mantra: I remain internally balanced for an external balanced outcome.
