Tell My Tarot
The Two of Swords being drawn promises great potential and if you are careful to consider it, you may be in store for significant gains. Do not let this card mislead your thoughts, however. The card is a symbol for medication and careful consideration, after all, so rushing forward haphazardly may lead to misfortune.
Note that the depicted woman has not made her decision yet. Her two options, symbolized by the swords she balances, are still equal in her mind. Through a calm and collected mind, she is ready to make the right decision, and she has taken physical measures to ensure she is blind to biases. If you are open and ready to lend the same level of composure to your own decision, you can attain the same sense of contentment and acceptance that she has.
The femininity and tenderness depicted may mean the decision to be made is based in love and relationships, although it is also possible for the decision to be of any nature as long as it is significant. This card can also be greatly empowering, since it encourages the reader to make their own decisions, relying on internal matters rather than on the insight provided by outside forces, be they other people or prophetic cards.
