Two of Swords
The Two of Swords speaks of difficult choices and feeling stuck. The two swords the Pixie is holding represent two choices. One sword will lead them down one path, and the other will take them down a completely different path; it all depends on their actions and which sword they choose to swing.
You could be facing two choices that are both equal in value. You've come to a stand still as you struggle to choose which one to go to. Without some outside guidance, you feel as if you wont be able to make a decision at all. It's possible that both choices could be equally appealing, or equally un-appealing, in which case, makes everything even more difficult for you. Unfortunately, the reality is, is that if we do not make a choice, we will not progress.
Alternatively, the Two of Swords can also speak of balance. Balance in our relationships, in work, in our hobbies, anything. You could be struggling with finding balance between certain areas of your life. Sometimes we do too much of one thing and forget about other important parts of our life. Or we could feel stuck and not be taking part in things we should be.
Sometimes it feels like avoiding things is easier than facing them. We may choose not to see the difficult decisions in front of us. Just know that avoidance never solves anything, only keeps us where we don't want to be. Change can be difficult and uncomfortable at times, but that uncomfortable feeling will not last. Even if you make the wrong choice, it's better than not making any. We can always grow from our mistakes and make the right decision later on. Sometimes we need to make the wrong choice in order to see and understand the right one.
Card in Reverse:
The Two of Swords in reverse tells us of a most extraordinary stalemate. Something that feels impossible. Two paths seem to be clashing in front of your very eyes, and you feel helpless to make a decision. Both pathways do not appeal to you and confusion is high right now. Which path will bring the least amount of damage? Once you are able to make a decision, be it by thinking it through, or running out of time, know that the road ahead may be difficult for a while. But you will be able to overcome these adversities.
