3 Card Tarot Reading

The Star Tarot Card Meaning

When the tower exploded in the previous card, something really cool happened: a star emerged from the sky  and started sending you REAL possibilities! 

Lucky you! If the Star card is coming up in your reading then you should feel just a little bit special. The universe shines it light on you through the Star card bringing forth peace, tranquility, and most of all hope. The Star card represents a true connection with the divine and that there are favorable energies guiding you at this time. You are on the right path. You are making the right decision. You must trust in yourself as you already have the answer that you seek.

The symbolism of the Star card tells a story of a woman (or goddess) renewing the land (the material world) and water (the emotional or spiritual world) by pouring from the two pitchers in her hands. The bird above her shoulder is Ibis, a favorable sign from the ancient Egyptians of the God Thoth and he knows a secret. Thoth is good at that. The whole world is still in the moment of twilight as the stars begin to shine. This is a time of wisdom and a time for listening.

Often this card comes up during a time of emotional turmoil where you don’t know which way is the right way for you and you feel overwhelmed or even afraid of making the wrong choice. It’s a card that begs the question: What does your heart tell you? If you listen to the truth within yourself, once you allow it to all be silenced, what answer resounds the most? It’s difficult, because the trick to the Star card is learning how to listen and for most of us, that is the hardest lesson of all. To get there you first have to understand that there is hope in your situation and all is not lost. The solution is not as far away as you think and you are not alone.

The Star in Love

If you are seeing this card there are likely deep questions within your relationship or towards love in general. Now is a time to follow your instinct regarding a partner for better or for worse. If you are questioning fidelity in a relationship, for example… understand this does not mean that just because you fear that they are cheating that it is true. Rather, again you have to remember to remove yourself from the situation. Your current relationship is not your past relationship and often you will find that when questioning that you are not putting true standards up to your current partner. Listen to your instincts, which does not mean listen to your fear. You may find that now is a good time to take a step back in the relationship and look at the positives and the negatives. Most of the time the Star is a good sign for a relationship that tells you that things in a rocky relationship can be mended if you open your heart and allow yourself to be a little more vulnerable.

In regards to being single and looking for love, the Star card is also a positive sign. It usually will reveal a long term relationship growing into more rather than meeting someone completely fresh and new. The Star offers a time to mend old relationships and you may be surprised to see someone from your past coming back into your life. On a more personal note, it can also tell you to take a look at your own emotions regarding love and take stock in areas where you have been hurt in the past. Now is a good time to be open to new beginnings and a reminder that with each new relationship comes new possibilities. It also carries a warning of comparing new relationships to past ones.

The Star As Feelings

The star is always bright and for me, this is the symbol of hope, always guiding towards whatever we strive for, letting us be open to receive positives from all over. The star appears when things are seemily black, there is still a glimmer of light guiding us forward. To those around us, the star represents what we want in life for and the impact we can make in this world - it's a symbol of external love that lies within each one of us. The star stands for: hope, love, strength, ambition and resilience. For feelings the star card reminds us that the person feels you might be “out of reach” that it might not be possible to fully be able to have the relationship that you deserve. That is not to say, it might not happen but from my interpretation of a feelings spread this could be something that is just a wish in the night’s sky.

The Star As Love Reconciliation

If you draw this for a love coming back it is positive. The star twinkles a little hope, encouraging love, and that this love will find their way back to you. When two people part ways again, they are filled with renewed faith that one day they will find a lasting reconciliation. The star has shown love can never truly die; it simply needs time and care to blossom once more.

The Star in Health

What else but good health would you expect from a card that offers hope and renewal? This is a very favorable omen when dealing with health concerns and says that there is a positive energy around you that will help keep you on the mend. It is also a card that reminds you that a healthy body comes from a healthy mind. You need to be sure that you are promoting positive thoughts about your health to keep healing or strengthening your body. When this card comes up it is a great time to think about making a positive change in your health as well – such as starting a new routine that focuses on wellness of both the mind and body such as yoga, tai chi, or eating healthier.

The Star in Work and Wealth

If you are having issues with money the Star card often comes up once everything has spun out of control. Financially it can talk about needing time to recover from a loss, to get unhealthy spending habits in check, and to focus your efforts on charity. The hope in this card clearly shows that there is a path to getting your financial troubles on track. If you are not having financial troubles when this card comes up (which is rare) the Star card acts as a warning card. Now is a good time to seek financial guidance before making a big purchase or taking out a loan. You need to be wary of doing business that requires heavy investments or risk.

On the work front the Star is a good omen that increased work is coming your way. Usually coming up when one feels stuck or in a dead end sort of position, it offers a preverbal light at the end of the tunnel. If you are currently employed do not be surprised if something new arises in small doses like an increase of responsibility or someone important taking an interest in your work. For the job seeker, you are more than likely feeling like your job search will never end. The Star card offers hope that things are going to be changing soon. It may be in your best interest to consult an agency or headhunter – seek assistance to get yourself on track.

The Star Advice/Action

The star in an advice or action position tells me one thing (what action you should take?) drawing this card means that things will get better soon, and that your hopes and dreams will help you to aim forward. There is a "deep guiding" intuition and the advice here is to “look inside” for answers. What is your inner voice telling you? This card also shows that things will be slow to come to life.

If you want to speed up the situation then you need to be positive, but accept that things will take time. The main point here is to “go with the flow” do not make things unnecessary and eventually things will happen. There is a danger to want to push a relationship so it is perfect, and trying to create an “ideal” relationship. Something that you have dreamed of all your life but you need to focus on the here and now. Be honest, pour love without any expectations just be who you are. Give yourself to others and do not withhold anything and shine like the star. 

The Star As Friendship Or Family

This star symbolizes friendship and family, as it radiates in  moments of joy. It may be found in a late night conversation or a shared memory from childhood - just when we need it most, the star is there to guide our path. Each moment, every true friendship brings us closer to unlocking all that life has to offer us, no matter how lonely or isolated we might feel; for when our stars align in friendship or family, a new world will open up before us.

The Star Rervesed Meaning

The star in reversed is a less than a positive card, but before you give up all hope understand that even negative cards or positions are without merit. The Star card emphasizes that based on your current path unwanted changes are coming in one or more areas of your life and that you either need to prepare yourself or take steps to correct the current path that you are on. You are likely to find that you are not adapting to change well, are overly sensitive to criticism, or on edge recently. It is time for you to look at the areas in which things are no longer working for you. Once you identify the things that are causing your unhappiness you need to take steps to remove them from your life. Usually it is time for you to make the needed changes by leaving an unhealthy relationship or workplace. The first step is often the hardest but most rewarding.

When the stars align and reverse themselves, it's like an unexpected opportunity to move forward. It can be a source of inspiration, and a cause to pull focus onto something positive. Instead of looking backwards and dwelling on the tower before, it can be a reminder that there's always something greater out there. Even in the darkest times, stars still seem to shine brightly and offer a voice of hope and courage. Though the stars may be reversed right now, they reveal paths to future realms that many never thought were possible before.

Love and Romance - The Star Reversed

Even when the star is reversed in love and romance, it can carry love; like a star of promises scattered in the night sky. When love is out of balance or stagnates, a reversal provides a unique opportunity. It can guide lovers in the right direction. I always feel when I see this in a reversed reading we are pulled towards that twist or turn in love which can provide insight into creative solutions and inner growth allowing our hearts to expand greater than ever before. This reversed star's beauty radiates throughout each situationship or difficult moment, a reminder that no matter what happens it means love will shine bright again.

Family and Home - The Star Reversed

When the Star reversed cards appears in a reading regarding your family or friends, it reminds us to tap into this source of love even during difficult times. Good family life often awaits when you draw this card for family and home. This is about the beauty of creation this is about seeing things that are amazing. This is about your own place. This card means you are special, and trust me you are special. Maybe you make different decisions from exhaustion than you would from stillness. Discover the difference before the difference finds you.

Work and Finances - The Star Reversed

This is reversed so it looks awful, but I want you to know this is a "growing" time for money right now. If this card comes up reversed it means that things are not empty, but you have still got to work hard. Whether you believe in god or not, this is a chance to remember we are the same thing right now. This card is asking you why you stopped reaching for it. 

Health and Wellness - The Star Reversed

The Star Reversed is an invitation to visit your inner world, discovering what disrupts your peace and how you can meaningfully address it. Amid the joys of life, a wake-up call inviting us to open up to a healthier way of being is always welcomed. This is not just about eating right or finally hitting the gym - wellness goes beyond getting ourselves in physical shape. True health and wellness is an effort that touches our spirits and nurtures our minds. Taking moments for self-care and paying attention to our mental state are essential, journeying inward without judgement, kindness towards oneself being the core goal at hand.

Personal Spirituality - The Star Reversed

This reversed Star has caught you sitting here and not really focusing on YOU - wondering why it isn't enough. Because it isn't enough, it does not feel like enough. So what do you do with what you know? And who are you actually helping? Real spiritual work (the work that changes you) is taking what you know about yourself and walking it out into a world where it's uncomfortably necessary and needed most.

Over thousands of years people have looked at the night sky terrified and hopeful at the same time-and always ended up on hope. That is what the Star's about. Not a guarantee. Not a promise it will work out fine. Just this: There is light, it's real, and it has not gone out. Hold that. And then do something with it.

• The Star is a tarot card that represents hope, guidance, and inspiration
• This card can be a sign that you are about to embark on a new journey
• The Star can also represent your own inner light and ability to shine in the dark times
• If you are feeling lost or confused, the Star tarot card can be a reminder that you are not alone
• Trust your intuition and follow your heart - the Star will guide you to your true path

The Queen of Cups Tarot Card Meaning

The Queen of Cups is an excellent card representing one being in control of her emotions and is a great card regarding emotions and love. More than that she is a wise queen that understands that there is a balance between emotion and intuition and seeking out a common ground for your own inner feelings of peace.

Internally the Queen of Cups shows tender love and can reflect good signs as well for feelings of spirituality and harmony. It’s an excellent time to focus on the goals that make you happy and internal love. Pending the placement of the card, there are aspects of your life that are full and like a tapestry of warm colors adding to your own internal peacefulness. The Queen of Cups is already at her station in life and she has figured out the real and true aspects of her life that are worth her efforts. She understands that not all things no matter how well that they may sound, are good options for her. It can indicate a time for you to look at your life and ask yourself if you are truly happy. You want to be sure that the energies that you are putting out into the world are going to be ones that bring rewards back to you that matter and make you feel like you have done something worth doing.

When the Queen of Cups is present you may also want to be on the lookout for an older female, usually, someone that has somewhat of a mothering personality to her. She often will be lending her assistance while you are working out issues in your life and is someone that you want to be sure to be listening to. This is someone that you can trust and someone that you can know is looking out with your best interests at heart.

The Queen of Cups in Love

In love, the Queen of Cups often knows what she wants and can be a good indicator that it is time to follow your feelings or gut about a relationship or someone in particular. With the Queen of Cups showing up in your love reading, you can breathe easier knowing that there is some fulfillment coming your way. Because the Queen is ruler over the realms of the emotional and spiritual, it is also wise to understand that there is little tolerance in your life right now for not being responsible emotionally.

There is an air of acceptance and empathy around you, but do not take that to mean that you can get away with whatever you want. Right now, the pressure is on your whether looking for love or in a relationship to be the open one and to be honest about your feelings. You are in control. You have the power and direction to make things happen in love at this time.

The Queen of Cups in Health

The Queen of Cups can be a concerning card when it comes to health because she often can be a person showing concern or care. Where concern and care are present, it usually doesn’t bode well for health. Now maybe a good time to get your check-up and just make sure everything is on track. The good news is that water is a healing element and anything you catch now should be early on and easy to heal.

The Queen of Cups in Work and Wealth

The Queen of Cups is often a good card in other areas of life, but not the best indicator for finances or wealth. Think of her as a woman not concerned with money. She likes to be comfortable, but she isn’t going out of her way to make money. For you, this doesn’t mean it’s bad news thankfully… but it doesn’t mean good news either! Now isn’t a great time to be focusing on new investments or growth in this area. The card comes up when you are superficially asking about finances can tell you that it is time for you to be focusing on other aspects of your life.

In work specifically, it is a good indicator that you need to consider what you are doing to make a living. Is what you are doing paying the bills but not feeding into your happiness? If you find that you dislike your job it is a great time to find something that is more suitable to you. Be sure to balance out all of your needs in the long run. It is also good to focus on the other cards including this one in reading to see what direction the reading as a whole is taking. Often when the Queen of Cups shows up it will be when there are concerns about happiness but a requirement is present to balance all of your current needs. Focus on what will fulfill your needs in most areas.

Queen of Cups Advice

The Queen of Cups is a card deeply rooted in emotion and intuition. Seeing it in relation to advice reading is a clear message: now is the time to look within yourself and connect with your feelings. The queen of cups naturally avoids any conflict. They represent one's “loving” side. She is the carer, the nurturer, and ensures that her family is provided for. In my view, for advice, this card is saying to act through love and trust your instincts. Be more in touch with your sensual side. The mind, while useful, can sometimes be corrupting when it comes to decision making - it races and overanalyzes while emotions are pure and true. 

Whatever the scenario you are currently facing, the Queen of Cups is suggesting you trust in the deepest part of your own nature - seek settings which are meditative and peaceful, give yourself the space to access the most compassionate and nurturing parts of yourself. All in all, this card has a message of simplicity - it runs in opposition to the quick-moving power of the mind and asks, instead, that you think with your heart. If you keep working with your natural intuition, you won’t go wrong. 

Queen of Cups Yes Or No

If you’re seeking a yes or no answer in a tarot card reading, then the Queen of Cups isn’t a clear signifier one way or the other. That’s because this card is neutral, its meaning can only be derived by the question being asked. The reader can try and gauge this meaning by reflecting on their question and the general meaning of the card, the Queen is a symbol of womanhood, virtue, and emotional wisdom. The clear link between intuition and this card could be a sign that the right answer lies inside of you. Take comfort in this card, all the seeking you must do is within yourself. Try and let your feelings roll over you, see which way they push you, and you will find the solution you desire. 

Queen of Cups Past

When the Queen of Cups appears in the past position it is a symbol of a deeply important relationship you had with a person in your past. While this can sometimes point to a male figure, it usually signifies a female presence. Whoever the person, they were emotionally intelligent, deeply caring, and played an integral role in giving you a clear sense of your own morality. 

For this reason, seeing this card in the past position could be a reminder to reconnect with those values you of a female. In this position, it can also be a call back to an event or time in your life in which you were especially compassionate or creative - perhaps it is an old hobby or project you were working on? If this resonates with you, then the Queen of Cups is likely signifying the nurturing impact this creative pursuit had on you personally. It may just be the time to think about starting a new creative project!

Queen of Cups Present 

Though the Queen of Cups has a very clear relationship with tranquility, seeing this card in your present position does not necessarily mean you are currently in the midst of a peaceful experience. In fact, conversely, it may be suggesting that you are weathering a difficult emotional period, one that requires patience and reflection. If so, this card is a reminder to connect with your most nurturing side - give all your love, warmth, and kindness to those around you. This is especially true if you have recently found yourself taking on a maternal role of care (this doesn’t necessarily have to refer to your own children, remember). To make the most of this reading, you should look to be proactive in your empathy, try and be observant of those around you and see where you can help. You have a bright light within you, your creativity and compassion may be the saving grace for someone close to you. 

Queen of Cups Future and Outcome

When The Queen of Cups is related to future and outcome spreads, it signifies an upcoming chapter where you will need to draw from your emotional and spiritual knowledge. When the time comes, you will need to muster your strength to say consistent and calm, no matter how trying the situation. The Queen is a symbol of sensitivity, but also composure - she listens and reflects before she reacts. Try and draw strength by practicing your own endurance in even the most difficult and stressful situations. This upcoming period may be hard for you, others around you will likely be swept up in the chaos and become reactive, but if you can remain patient you will be the saving grace of those closest to you. It may not be an easy role to take on, but it is one that will leave you stronger, more mature as well as filling others with a deep sense of gratitude for your unwavering support and empathy. 

Queen of Cups Love Reconciliation

As a card with a clear connection to emotion, the Queen of Cups is generally a positive card to draw in a love and reconciliation reading. If you’re enquiring about a past relationship, it likely points to a nurturing romantic partnership, one in which emotions run deep and are entirely authentic. It is likely you will get back together. If you’re experiencing trouble in your relationship, it suggests that being emotionally open will benefit your mutual development. Now is the time to talk about your feelings and be open to both of your own unique perspectives. 

If you are single, this card is a signal that a loving experience is coming your way. It might be time to start meeting new people and develop new connections. Remember, this card is all about trusting your own instincts and appreciating people fully, not just on the surface level. Don’t be deterred by anything superficial. Instead, seek real emotional intimacy and you might just find your soulmate. 

Queen of Cups As Feelings

Encountering the Queen of Cups when trying to understand how someone feels about you should inspire reassurance. Just as this card is full of gentle feeling, the person you are curious about is brimming with positive emotion, they definitely feel very warmly towards you. However, it is worth noting, that as this card exists primarily in the emotional realm, this person may not be aware of just how deep their feelings for you go. We can store a lot of emotion in our subconscious, but trust that their true sensibilities will make their way to the surface eventually.

This card may also suggest that someone feels protective of you. They see your sensitivity and may interpret this as fragility. It’s true that if your nature aligns with the Queen of Cups you may be best-matched with someone with a strong rational who can balance out your dreaminess. However, never forget to trust in the strength and power of the emotional, creative realm you’re so in touch with. It is fine to trust in a person who wants to take care of you, but be wary they don’t clip your wings or limit your imagination.

The Queen Of Cups In The Reversed Position

Reversed the Queen is still present but lacking direction. In the reversed position she can show erratic emotional states. The emotion is there but there is a lack of control and it will often show that there is a more serious underlying issue at hand. With the Queen not in control there is havoc in the castle and in your own life even you may find that you are surrounded with rumors, innuendo, or dysfunction. Now is a time to be on your guard and to walk on eggshells. Be careful how you react and ponder ways in which you are not being reasonable emotionally. Do not allow yourself to get overextended or emotionally exhausted as it is bound to cause problems in your relationships, friendships, and at work. 

Queen of Cups As Friendship

The Queen of Cups is a great card to see in a friendship reading - it is a card of love and community. It points to the power of embracing friends fully and not being afraid to give them all of your love and support. If your friendship group is feeling shut off at the moment, this card is a reminder that there is no better time to reconnect than right now. If a close friend is going through a difficult period, then the Queen of Cups suggests that you should extend your friendship and use your powers of reflection to offer valuable advice. This is a good time to exercise some selflessness - all the goodness and help you bestow upon a friend will come back to you in the end, anyway. 

Queen of Cups Reversed - Love and Romance

While the Queen of Cups upright highlights the balance and power of emotional tranquility, when reversed it can refer to instability. In a love and romance reading, this is likely to relate to insecurity and jealousy. Are your feelings getting the better of you? Some emotions, such as love and happiness, are very useful driving forces, but negative emotions, such as jealousy or resentment, can cause a lot of harm. This card reversed is a gentle push telling you to reflect on your actions, take a step back, and see if your own behaviour has been fair and measured. If it hasn’t been, now may be the time to make amends by letting go of any feelings of bitterness. Now is the time to focus on your intuition - don’t let your head be clouded with the green mist of jealousy. 

If you are single, the Queen of Cups reversed is a reminder you should proceed with caution. There is an imbalance of emotions in your life right now, and this is not a good state to be in when entering a relationship. Vulnerability can draw in bad-natured people who will see your fragility as a chance to exert power and take advantage of you. If you’re looking for direction, this reversed card implies that time spent restoring emotional balance is important. Seek personal security and inner peace before you begin looking outside yourself for love. The only person who can truly rebalance your feelings within is your own self. 

​Queen of Cups Reversed - Family and Home

Seeing the reversed Queen of Cups in a family and home spread is a prompt to the reader that now is the time to rediscover love in the home. Sometimes, it is easy to forget that love is the core of every family. When you see this card reversed you should take heed: everyone in your home should try and adjust to a more positive outlook. Perhaps the family has become overrun with anger, stress, and instability. This reading may even be highlighting a particular person (possibly yourself), and likely a woman, someone who was once the foundation of the family has become untethered, leading the rest of the family to become insecure as a result. That isn’t to say this woman is entirely to blame for the situation, merely that she has reached her emotional limit. To restore harmony, family members should look to find new ways to express gratitude for each other and display their love. When people feel appreciated it is much easier to overcome resentment which might otherwise seep into the everyday. Female intuition and compassion can amend this and restore harmony in the home.

Queen of Cups Reversed - Work and Finances

In a work and finance context, the Queen of Cups reversed may be highlighting work stress or a burden of emotion relating to your financial situation. You may be overworking and leaving yourself in a fragile emotional state. 

If you’re feeling unsure about your career choices you may also be suffering from indecision, and allowing yourself to become overwhelmed with emotion. Whatever the case, you’re likely feeling unsatisfied. When reversed, this card is a signal that you need to evaluate your situation and your options. Are you feeling stunted creatively? Are the conditions of your work-life leading you to feel stressed? Are you spending money frivolously and then inflicting financial worries? Take the time to fully assess what’s going on in your life and then plan to take action. While you may have been reactive in the past, now is the time to change all that by reflecting deeply and carefully on your career choices and what you can do to make yourself happy and secure going forward.

Queen of Cups Reversed - Health and Wellness

The reversed Queen of Cups in a health reading may be highlighting stress or overexertion. If you’ve been spreading yourself too thin recently, then you should think about taking a pause and giving yourself the rest you need. You may be busy, but in the long run, you’ll only burn out if you keep on at the rate you’re currently operating. Remember that you have to take care of yourself before you can properly take care of others. The result of all this rushing around may also be impacting your emotional wellbeing - when you’re stressed, you’re more likely to be sensitive and if you’re not careful one small comment could be the straw to break the camels back. All in all, the reversed Queen of Cups in this kind of reading is a call to stop and rest for the benefit of your health. 

Queen of Cups Reversed - Personal Spirituality

Seeing the Queen of Cups reversed in a personal spirituality reading is a sign of limited potential. It may be the case that you’ve been ignoring signs to reconnect with your spiritual side or that you have allowed yourself to become so over-saturated with emotions your intuition is not functioning like normal. In some cases, the reversal of this card actually suggests you have psychic abilities that you are not exercising. To remove the spiritual blockage try meditation. Slow down and, with time, you will find yourself back on your predestined spiritual path. 

Queen of Cups and Judgement Combo

Judgment in readings is about letting something go, moving on, even after something that made you feel worthy. The queen of cups indicates that you are seeing things more clearly in a love relationship. Typically under the circumstances, the combination of the Queen of Cups and judgment can indicate that you need to release yourself from a difficult relationship and the advice is that someone will make a difference to your life. That it is important to let your feelings go when you see this combo.

The Two Of Swords Tarot Card Meaning

The Two of Swords is a card that affects most people now and again in their lives and when the time comes it is never a comfortable position to be in.

Nevertheless, sometimes the cycles of stasis inevitably become the reasons that we push ourselves so hard to progress. In this, though the season you are in is difficult, there is an added perspective of necessity in it as well. The Two of Swords is the card of being stuck in the middle and being afraid to move.

There are in fact so many options at your disposal at this moment that you fear making a move in case it is the wrong move, therefore, your hands are tied and you are stuck. Understandably this is not a position in which you would prefer to stay, so you desire with great strength to push out of it, but you don’t know where to start. You desire to have a new approach to life, but your emotions play a large role in your current circumstances and that is making it difficult for you to decide what you should do. You want to be the peacemaker, but you tend to do so at the expense of your own voice or opinions, thereby devaluing yourself. Your need for stability is now in conflict with your need to create change, thus creating the stalemate in that you find yourself in.

The image on the card in the Rider Waite Deck depicts a woman who is balancing two swords on her shoulders, representing the sharp edges she has placed herself against due to indecision. She is blindfolded representing the overall blindness to her life, and the situations that she has gotten herself into. Behind her are rocks in the sea, representing the ease of trapping those who are not allowed room for flexibility in their lives. The New Moon also shines down upon her which shows the tension in relationships, both friendship and other. She has a well-developed sense of balance, but her particular rhythm and ability to hone in on that have been compromised.

At this point in time, the Two of Swords is telling you that there is no confusion present, none that you are not already aware of. You are currently choosing to keep your eyes closed to possibilities so that you do not have to make a difficult choice. Sometimes these choices can come in the form of having to choose between friends, or getting involved in overly dramatic situations. Sometimes you are being asked a direct question and for the purpose of not hurting the person that you are involved with you are just choosing to refrain from a response, which is putting you AND your loved one in a frustrating position. In the attempts that you have made to save yourself from having to be hurt as a result of making a choice you have begun to close off your heart and this is producing deep levels of unhappiness.All of your actions at this time are being influenced not by your meditative and calm self, but by erratic and conflicted emotions, which is never a good position to be in for any long period of time.

Now is the time for you to consider a solution, there is an action that must be taken. You must give in and have faith in your intuition and in a connection with a higher source of energy to get you through this time. When you do this, you are allowing for your inner peace to be restored which will breathe life back into your veins. Consider the fact that you are unable to see your options, so your personal perspective may be skewed. Therefore in addition to focusing on communicating with your higher self, you must also seek help from others who are capable of assisting you objectively. If you do not know someone like this in your personal life, then a professional influence would be equally, if not more so, beneficial. The key is to gather information from varying perspectives so that you can weigh out the pros and the cons of your decision pragmatically. By listening to your emotions, you will know when the time has come to act. In so doing, you will find recognition in your path as well as the success of getting out of the pit of non-movement. While you process this card, consider what it is that you are avoiding, who are you having a hard time reconciling with and what decisions would you prefer to not know about or make?

The Two of Swords in Love

When the Two of Swords presents itself in your reading regarding love and relationships then you will need to make a decision. Right now you have put yourself in the position of consistent indecision which is tampering with your perspective. If you are single then in love this means that you are either avoiding pursuing something for fear of being shot down, or you are pursuing more than one person at a time and you are not appropriately giving your full attention to any one person. You need to choose. You cannot keep going this way. If you are in a relationship that is having problems, then the Two of Swords is showing you that now is the time for you to call those problems out and find actual solutions. The lack of momentum being built between you and your partner is harmful. Seek counseling if you cannot decide what to do on your own.

The Two of Swords in Health

The Two of Swords in Health represents a level of being split in half on how to appropriately care for yourself and others. There is a division in attention span; you are sacrificing too much to give to others who are ill, thereby creating the possibility of making yourself ill. You must find the balance between the two, and even if it is painful sometimes, you need to create time for yourself to process everything that has gone on. You do not want to create a level of sickness for yourself just so that you can get a break. That is not healthy.

The Two of Swords in Work and Wealth

The Two of Swords in Work and Wealth exemplifies the concept of being torn in two directions. What a situation the lady in the picture has found herself in! This is not a great place for anyone to be, especially in a work situation. It is as if she is defending herself, feeling isolated and blinded to the truth. I do like to think that the blindfold is more about meditating of the next move. If her arms move even for a moment she might fall over into the sea behind her. The problem with this card in a career context is that sudden moves may indicate that a person is trying to protect themselves. Either you or someone you work with is “between a rock and a hard place” there is not answer, but this person has two choices to make. In both choices, quiet contemplation is required and a difficult decision is required to move on. As her arms are crossed over the heart chakra it can symbolize a decision with the head rather than the heart. Currently, there is a possibility for you to work in two entirely different venues. You see for yourself a desire to move onto something that is more creatively stimulating, where you might be able to potentially help more people, but you are afraid of making the leap. Consider your options at this time. If making the leap is not safe, financially, then begin taking the steps toward making yourself financially ready for such an experience and that will get the ball rolling for you.

The Two Of Swords in Yes Or No Readings

It feels great to shift your gear away from reality when you draw the two of swords in a yes or no reading. It's telling you that it is a matter of personal preference whether to use two swords. A single sword is sufficient for some people, but others prefer the flexibility and versatility of two swords. Individual comfort level, experience, and skill are all important factors. Before deciding which way to go, it's important to practice both styles and determine which style suits your needs better. In the end, only you can decide whether two swords are right for you. In Yes Or No readings the card tells you the answer is “yes.”
 
The swords you use should be of good quality and well-maintained, no matter what route you choose. When blades are poorly made or poorly maintained, they will not perform or perform as well as those that are correctly made and properly maintained. For the best experience, make sure you understand how to use two swords simultaneously.
 
The decision to use two swords ultimately rests with you. The use of two swords for self-defense and target practice can be excellent with proper practice and maintenance. Practice with different styles and consider your individual needs before deciding.
