Two of Wands
Two of Wands
The Two of Wands shows us a Pixie who is carefully planning their decision. They see the destination in their globe and have been given two choices. The Pixie holds one hand out, ready to grab hold of the wand to their left, but is looking at the wand to their right to check and see if they are making the right choice.
When making important decisions, it's good to take your time to really consider all the consequences of your actions. It doesn't mean something bad has to happen, but there is a possibility that your goal might not come to you as quickly or smoothly as you had hoped.
Be careful of things that seem too good to be true. You might want to jump on the opportunity, but the Two of Wands is telling you to pause and look things over. Ask questions and weigh your options.
The Two of Wands is also a sign that you are ready to leave your comfort zone and start taking some uncomfortable first steps! Now is the time to move toward your goals. It might seem difficult at first, but the Two of Wands encourages you to keep on going. It will get easier!
Reverse:
Planning, First steps, Leaving comfort zone, Making choices that scare you
Upright:
Bad planning, Playing it safe, Avoiding making decisions, Overthinking
Card in Reverse:
The Two of Wands in reverse can suggest that there has been some poor planning, or perhaps none at all. It's important to plan for the future, even if its something small. We want to make sure that what we care for is taken care of, as well as ourselves. It's easy to look past things when we're feeling comfortable.
Alternatively, maybe you've been feeling a bit too excited and over confident. You may be making tons of plans, but have you been thinking them through? Are they really what's best? Will they benefit you and/or those you care for?

Career
Upright:

Upright: What do you want your future love life to look like? The Two of Wands can suggest that perhaps now is a good time to set some goals for yourself when it comes to relationships. What are you looking for in a relationship? Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
Another question the Two of Wands has is, do you and your potential love/current love have the same goals? Are you both on the same path?
Alternatively, if you are currently in a relationship, maybe now is a good time to make some changes. They don't have to be big changes either, perhaps you plan to have a date night once a week where you don't look at your phones. Or you can plan for something bigger! A trip? A vacation? Or maybe you're looking to move on to the next step of your relationship, whatever that looks like for you.
Reversed: Sometimes things don't always fall in to place. Perhaps something you once had planned for didn't work out. It might be good to take a step back from relationships at this time. It's great to plan ahead, but love takes time. Use this time alone to figure out what path you want to go on and the best way to get there.
The Two of Wands reversed in love can also suggest that you may not be ready to make any big choices when it comes to love. Perhaps you have a few too many suiters, or you're not sure if you want to move forward with the person you're currently seeing. That's okay, if you're feeling hesitant, tap into your instincts and ask yourself what it is you truly want.
Upright: Right now may be a good time to make some plans regarding work. What are your future career goals? What do you need to do in order to get there? How much money will you need to make in X time fulfill a dream?
Maybe right now you're interested in starting a business. The Two of Wands suggests that you should start laying out plans to get it started! Seeing this card tells you that you're ready to take that first step!
Reversed: The Two of Wands reversed in career can tell us that maybe the plans you had in place for work are not going as according to plan. It's possible that some things happened you did not expect, causing your ideas to fall short. Take what you've learned and try planning again.
Alternatively, you could have a lot of ambitious plans that you're excited for, but something is stopping you from getting started. Perhaps there is something you're afraid of that is preventing you from taking that first step. What might be blocking the way?
