Are two aspects of your life clashing? – Two of Wands

Two of Wands Upright Meaning

This suit, most often called “Wands” and sometimes called “Rods” or “Staves,” represents initiative, ambition, drive and desire. This is the suit of enterprise and risk-taking.

The Two in this suit, often portrayed as crossed wands, show two separte energies – which may be working cross-purposes and at a deadlock.

These energies could refer to an internal split — perhaps a clash between optimistic and pessimistic parts of your psyche, for example — or another situation where you feel “damned if you do, damned if you don’t.” This could be a standoff with another person or rubbing up against limitations that are currently imposed upon you.

This card points to the possibility that self-doubt is creeping upon you– the kind that arises in a situation where you feel that you are in the deep end and you may have bitten off more than one can chew.

Give yourself a moment to take in the full implications of your situation. Find your bearings again before launching back into action. Deal with real concerns now — before they become regrets!

Two of Wands Reversed Meaning

When decision-making stymies you, look within your Self for the solution. The Two of Wands reversed suggests someone who is paralysed and momentarily stuck in the process of decision making. You feel like you are in an all-too-familiar hall of mirrors, unable to recognize the real doorway amidst the many reflected images of it.

Bear in mind that your future self already knows what choice you made. When you can calm down and access the part of yourself that already knows there is a way out, your options will become clear again.

Two of Wands Advice Position

You must respect your own decision making process. Instead of criticizing yourself for indecisiveness, appreciate the various implications of possible choices. Avoid pushing yourself to make a commitment.

Keep meditating, watching the situation and witnessing the forces at work. At some point you will have enough information to see clearly. The decision-making process will be over and the choice will be clear.
