Tarot Card of the Week: Jan 11, 2016 – Jan 17, 2016
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.
