The lesson of the Two of Swords is that barriers are not the answer. To break it, the "opponents" must come out from behind their swords and listen to each other. When two parties are set in their positions - cut off from each other - there is a stalemate. Every time we close off our heart, we find it more difficult to open again.Īnother barrier between people is a deadlocked situation. Sometimes this action is necessary, but it always comes at a great price. When we cut ourselves off emotionally, we sever the connection that allows our love to flow outward. The most common barrier is a closed heart. She can't look at the truth or even acknowledge that there is trouble. What are you really feeling? Are you resisting tender feelings because you might be hurt? Are you furious even though you're smiling? What are you refusing to look at? Notice the blindfold on this woman. In readings, the Two of Swords often appears when you are not willing to accept some truth about yourself or the situation. In countless ways, we divide off parts of ourselves and try to maintain them even when we know they need to be reconciled. We avoid looking at the truth and pretend that everything's OK. Internally, we block off emotions and refuse to feel them. The Two of Swords is about the barriers we put up between ourselves and others and those we create within ourselves. "Nothing comes in, and nothing goes out," she seems to say. She is fending off any approach from the outside. Her rigid posture tells us of her struggle to keep her feelings under control. On the Two of Swords, we see a young woman who has put a barrier of swords across her heart. Four of Pentacles - stalemate, blockage.Seven of Swords - running away from the truth.Nine of Wands - being defensive, closing yourself off.Moon - self-deception, not seeing the truth.Three of Wands - moving forward, looking at the facts.Justice - accepting the truth, accepting responsibility.Wheel of Fortune - moving, getting things going.At times this can be constructure, such as in moments. ACTIONS blocking emotions denying true feelingsīeing at a stalemate feeling afraid to act The Two of Swords represents an urge to retreat inwards and limit stimulation from the outside world.
