Tarot Card of the Week: Aug 29 – Sept 4, 2016
Two of Swords
Tarot Card of the Week: Aug 29 – Sept 4, 2016This week’s card is the Two of Swords from the Mythic Tarot. It’s a card about difficult choices.
In this card the man and the woman represent choices you may need to make this week. You could find yourself in the middle trying to make a decision that will avoid conflict in your life.
The suit of Swords in the Tarot is associated with action, change, force, power, oppression, ambition, courage and conflict. An action you take could be constructive or destructive.
Swords are tricky as they can also mean hatred, enemies, battles at work or at home.
The Two of Swords therefore serves as a reminder that life’s decisions are frequently quite difficult and raise the possibility of painful consequences.
However, you must “take the bull by the horns” and make your decisions with your best intentions, fully aware of the possible consequences. Avoidance will ultimately lead to a greater conflict.

Two of Swords
This week’s card — the Two of Swords from the beautiful Mary-el Tarot — speaks of striving for equilibrium and trying to balance the opposing forces in your life.
You may feel like you’re being pulled in two different directions, or you may be struggling with an important decision that has been weighing heavily on your mind. The current Mercury and Jupiter retrogrades may also be playing tricks on you, causing you to feel scattered or less able to focus on what’s important.
The Two of Swords can refer to an impasse or stalemate that’s more likely than not a result of your own indecision.
It can refer to a pivotal moment in time where you recognize that the options before you are equally appealing (or terrifying) and that whatever decision you make will have a huge impact on your life.
In this respect it can refer to inaction and immobility. Sometimes this is due to fear: “What if I don’t have all the facts?” or “What if I make the wrong decision?” But it’s just as often related to a desire to not have to choose at all.
