The traditional Rider Waite depiction of the Two of Swords card features a woman sitting on a stone slab and is blindfolded. Her arms are crossed and is holding two long swords, which touch the edges of the card. A crescent moon hangs in the sky, turned inwards towards her. The blindfold symbolizes the need to make decisions without relying on visual cues, suggesting a reliance on inner intuition or judgment. In the background lies a body of water that is sprinkled with large rocks and a mountain in the background. The water looks to be still in this card, serene in its environment. The woman must trust her inner self, combining her head and heart, to come to a conclusion. The woman is often shown seated near water, with a crescent moon in the background, emphasizing the intuitive and emotional aspects of decision-making. The crossed swords represent the need to balance opposing forces or perspectives when faced with a choice. The Two of Swords is associated with themes of difficult decisions, inner conflict, and the need for careful consideration before taking action. The card suggests a temporary state of suspension or indecision, encouraging the seeker to find a balance between opposing ideas or feelings.
In the Mystic Monday’s Tarot deck, the Two of Swords card is depicted as two curved swords, crossing one over the other, indicating indecision and a standstill. The sword hilts are red orange against a purple background.

Complete standstill, time passes by as you struggle to make a decision. Many choices lie before you, however you’re finding it easier to avoid the problem, shielding yourself from any possible consequences. Putting off making a decision will only make it worse. Consult with all the parts of yourself and use your body as a sensor to gauge what feels right. There is constant chatter among the different parts of you, and they are all fighting for your attention. Call a truce until all parties can come to a peaceful agreement. Gather as much information as you can to fill in the blanks to answer any concerns you may have. Balance your wants and needs by weighing the pros and cons of this decision. Ask yourself what the intention of the desired outcome is, trusting that it is for your highest good.
