Two of Swords

Today you could be struggling with an important decision that’s been weighing heavily on your mind. 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 make the wrong decision?” But it’s just as often related to a desire to not have to choose at all.

At times like this that may be the best option, especially as Mercury goes stationary retrograde today and brings that whole decision-making process to a halt. Your best move may be to disconnect completely while you gather more information.

This version of the card — from the Archeon Tarot — illustrates that point beautifully. The figure in this card has not only stepped back from the swords crossed before her, but has crossed her own arms in front of her as well.

She’s detached herself both mentally and emotionally while the Swords (decisions) before her take form. Notice that they are polar opposites: One is white with a black hilt and the other is black with a white hilt.

As Mercury goes retrograde today, take some time to step back and think about all of your options. It may not be the best time to make a decision, but it is a good time to think about the choices you’ve already made. It marks a period of reflection and reconsideration, so then when Mercury turns direct again (February 11) you’ll be much better equipped to decide.

The card used for today’s tarotscope — Two of Swords — is part of the Archeon Tarot by Timothy Lantz.
