Two of Swords

What Two of Swords means

Blindfolded, arms crossed, two swords held perfectly still. You're refusing to choose and hoping the problem gets bored and leaves. It won't, so take the blindfold off and look.

Two is where the Swords suit first has to choose, and this card shows someone declining to. The blindfold means she's decided not to look, her crossed arms guard her heart, and the sea and moon at her back are the feelings she's keeping out of the decision. Traditionally it's a stalemate: two options of equal weight, a fragile truce, or a choice put off because both answers cost something. You'll see it in the job offer sitting unanswered in your inbox, or two friends who each want you on their side.

Two of Swords reversed

Too much information and every option looks worse than the last. Flip a coin and notice which side you're rooting for.

Reversed, the stalemate starts to wobble. Arms get tired, the swords dip, and a deadline or someone else's patience makes the choice for you. Or the pro-and-con lists pile up until you can't hear your own answer.

In love, work and money

Love

Someone's sitting on the fence, and it might be you. If you're torn between staying and going, notice which option you keep defending when nobody's arguing.

Work

A decision is stalled because nobody wants to own it. Find the one fact that would tip the balance and put it on the table.

Money

You're putting off a money choice because both options pinch. Pick a decision date, since waiting quietly becomes a choice of its own.

Yes or no?

It depends. she hasn't looked yet, so the answer is waiting on whatever you've been avoiding finding out.
