Two of Swords
สองดาบ
Remember it
A blindfolded woman crosses two swords over her chest, back to the sea: she guards her heart by not looking, but the issue is still behind her.
Meaning · Upright
- stalemate
- indecision
- avoidance
- uneasy truce
- guarded heart
The Two of Swords is being caught between two options and choosing not to look, so you don't have to choose. Two is about balance, but in Swords it is a tense, fragile balance held by force. You may be shutting your feelings down to protect yourself, or keeping the peace by avoiding a conversation that needs to happen. Pausing to think is fine; just remember to lift the blindfold, look at the facts, and listen to your heart too.

My day · Upright reading
You may feel torn and unsure today. No need to rush, but avoiding it forever will not help either; gather a little more information, then decide.
