Minor Arcana Tarot Two of Swords: meaning and combination with other cards

In the center of the card, attention is drawn to a woman sitting on a stone dais, the woman’s eyes are blindfolded with a white cloth, her face does not express any emotions, her arms are crossed, and the woman holds a sword with each hand. The woman sits with her back to the pond, on the map it is night - this is indicated by the month in the sky, stones are visible in the reservoir, and in the distance on the horizon the land of an island or the opposite shore is visible.

The setting of the card is calm, the only tension can be caused by two crossed swords in the hands of a woman.

Keys to the meaning of the card: quarrels and conflicts, misunderstandings. Balance of power. The situation in the relationship between two people is very precarious, on the verge of conflict. Divorce, division of property. The tension of the situation. Hesitation and doubt. Waiting for something. You need to look inside yourself. Lie. Duplicity, duality, as an option split personality. A break is needed, a pause. Slow motion situation. Temporary solution to the problem. You have to choose from two specific options.

Meaning of direct position.

Direct position keys:

  • balance of the situation due to submission to circumstances.
  • Masculinity.
  • Armament and truce.

There may be a glimpse of tenderness, love, intimacy between two people. The birth of an unsteady harmony. Demonstration of perseverance and fortitude. Inner balance. Willingness to overcome difficulties. Quarrels and conflicts end in a truce. It’s worth taking a little break, the difficult situation is left behind.

A fortuneteller encounters difficulties and obstacles along the way, but thanks to the available strength and resilience, confidence in oneself and one’s actions, and with the presence of internal reserves of the body, one can withstand difficulties and overcome them. Thus, it is possible to emerge victorious from any situation.

Your problems will be resolved as they arise. In this case, peace of mind will not suffer. Difficulties will be successfully passed, problems will be solved.

In conflicts, quarrels and confrontations between two sides, you will be able to resolve the situation, compromise and find convincing arguments for your point of view.

If there are internal experiences and conflict within you, then you can tame your feelings and emotions, take them under control and normalize your state of mind, finding harmony.

The Two of Swords is a fairly favorable card, but you shouldn’t let your guard down. Calm and self-confident and you will be empowered to advocate for yourself when necessary.

Meaning on a deeper level

The meaning of the Two of Swords card on the internal level is the unity and struggle of opposites. A person is not able to see reality in its true light while he divides the world into black and white, day and night, good and evil. The Universe is a holistic flow in which opposites are balanced and dual things interact harmoniously with each other. By cutting the world into two parts, looking at it through the prism of “duality,” the questioner will not be able to advance on the spiritual path and will not gain true knowledge.

Meaning of inverted position.


Upside down keys:

  • two-faced game, forgery,
  • conflict within yourself
  • perfidy,
  • sell,
  • deception,
  • quarrels and conflicts with uncontrolled development,
  • fraud,
  • betrayal.

The fortuneteller lacks harmony with himself, has no stamina and has lost balance - all this unsettles the person, there is no way to concentrate and follow the right path. Conflicts with others have a painful impact on your condition, you are unable to argue in your favor, they don’t listen to you or don’t want to listen. You lack the authority or willpower to present your point of view. Strong feelings prevent you from adequately assessing the situation; uncontrollable negative emotions burst out. At the moment, what you consider to be your strengths, on the contrary, show your weaknesses, and you expose all your weak and insecure positions. Uncontrolled emotions bring destructive moments into the situation; you are not in control of the situation. Your victory escapes you, the confrontation drags on, and conflicts depress and lead to new quarrels and misunderstandings.

Card of the day

If it falls out of the deck as the card of the day, you should understand that now you are not able to make an objective choice, since you do not see the essence and cannot calculate the prospects. Try to postpone making important decisions and do not listen to the advice of strangers. Passivity in this situation will greatly benefit you. The card's advice is to give up struggle and competition.

To get the most accurate guidance from a reading that includes the 2 of Swords, ask questions about existing contradictions: about what you are ready to give up and what you consider as potential risks and threats.

Two of Swords in relationships.


This card literally blocks emotions and the heart. It may indicate a relationship that will not develop further because one person is afraid to experience pain and he covers his heart. The card can also mean that one person really doesn’t want to be in a partnership, while the other is trying to force himself.

If you are in a relationship, the Two of Swords speaks of fighting, bickering and unsettled thoughts, problems and mental disorders that the person does not know how to cope with.

Straight position. Relationships that have begun to find harmony assume balance, and the lost peaceful position is restored. a truce may come, which will give time to accumulate forces. Prosperous development of relationships.

The fortuneteller has certain questions and doubts about his partner. There are also doubts whether it is worth asking exciting questions or whether the answers can be found out in some other way. All doubts and questions relate to the future future together or separately, whether the relationship will exist or is it better to separate.

On the other hand, the Two of Swords can help find a compromise, look at a person from the other side and find common ground, establishing a path to reconciliation. It is worth paying attention to the nearby cards and the general disorganization of the layout.

Inverted position. Your partner does not want to deal with the problems that have arisen, does not want to interfere in your affairs, the same can be said about you. There is no understanding in relationships, partners do not value each other. Now there is a period when everything is quiet and calm and it seems that the problem can still be solved, that the relationship has a future, but in fact, productive dialogue has already been lost, the moment for reconciliation has been missed. The situation is tense.

There is a problem in the relationship and talking about it cannot be avoided.

Two of Swords in Feelings

Arcanum means in fortune-telling a person’s feelings that he is confused, denies something about himself, or feels very contradictory.

He has a conflict between emotions and intellect. He does not want to feel anything and tries to replace sensations with conscious thoughts.

Work and finance

In a straight position

The meaning of the Two of Swords in the professional sphere: uncertainty of prospects, signing a contract “blindly”, a stop in career advancement, fruitless negotiations, professional incompetence, instability in business, forced compromise with colleagues.

In the field of finance, losses, delays in payments, and unforeseen expenses when concluding contracts and transactions are possible.

Reversed position

In the reverse position, the card warns of the receipt of false information from subordinates, intrigues of colleagues, and the spread of gossip that will harm the business reputation of the questioner. Now it is worth considering every word or statement so that it is not misinterpreted. This is not the time to trust business partners; most likely, their true intentions are hidden, they are trying to hook the fortuneteller.

In the field of finance, you should be wary of robbery, money fraud, and the signing of any contracts.

Two of swords at work.

Specialties: ophthalmologist, esotericist, fencer.

Straight position. Honesty and openness in negotiations. There is common sense and a realistic assessment of the situation. A person knows how to resolve conflicts and difficult moments in a team, avoids rough edges and selects the right partners for work. On the one hand, the situation is in balance, but on the other hand, there are questions to which there are no answers yet, there are unspecified points. Temporary agreements and common project with competitors.

Inverted position. Misconceptions in the field of activity. The path is on the wrong road. The wrong direction of development has been chosen. Incorrect information. Closedness, taciturnity, and reluctance to discuss problems can lead to an uncontrollable scandal among subordinates, into which you may be drawn in.

The Two of Swords is about the situation as a whole.


Frozen situation. Two swords are a symbol of two factors, two external problems that prevent you from freely possessing information and acting; these factors block your activities. It is necessary to focus on internal sensations and trust your intuition, since you may not see some moments - this is indicated by the blindfold on the woman’s eyes.

External factors block your ability to act. It is necessary to submit to circumstances. It may be worth taking a wait-and-see approach and waiting for a more favorable moment to take decisive action.

A month in the sky shows that there are hidden opportunities or circumstances, and some information may also have been hidden. All that remains is to install:

- you hid this information,

- They hid something from you.

It is difficult to count on anything while the internal state is unbalanced.

What you should do: stop, pause, take a neutral position.

What you shouldn’t do: plunge into betrayal, be a coward and clothe yourself in duplicity.

Questions to consider:

- what decision can you make, why are you avoiding this problem?

— what contradictions did you encounter along the way?

- what are you ready to forgive or let go of?

— what are you prepared not to see?

- What is an external threat for you? What harms your condition and balance?

-why are you hiding? From what?

Interpretation in the context of personality psychology

The direct lasso Two of Swords characterizes an indecisive and weak-willed person. He gives in to life's difficulties and is easy to subjugate to his will. Perhaps this situation has arisen due to a negative past from which the questioner cannot free himself. There may be suppressive influences from the environment. It is necessary to analyze the influence of loved ones and exclude imposed values.

The inverted Two of Swords shows that a person doubts the correctness of the chosen path of development. Because of his chosen position, he lies not only to those around him, but also to himself. You must learn to look critically at your plans, then the traps of consciousness can be avoided.
