The Two of Swords comes as a reminder that many of life’s decisions are difficult ones and rarely come with clear-cut answers. Again, you can only put it off so long at some point, you have to make a move. Similarly, the Two of Swords can reflect indecision and an impasse on an important matter. Are you trying to hide from a challenging situation or impending decision, hoping that if you ignore it long enough, you won’t need to worry about it? Unfortunately, the issue is unlikely to resolve itself, and the longer you delay, the longer you will prolong this present situation.
