ACE OF SWORDS This is the card of the dilemma: there’s a choice indicated between two options, both undesiderable. The choice to do nothing can be sometimes a wise one and it’s a decision within itself. Don’t waste energy fretting over the decision, because direction is needed even if only to say one will not choose sides. Reversed meaning Disloyality and duplicity. Beware of emposters or a dormant situation that may begin to become worse. Have sympathy for those in trouble, but don’t compromise or overextend yourself on another’s behalf. |
TWO OF SWORDS Some unpleasant information or unhappy situation may come your way: whatever it is, it will pass as quickly as it came.

Another meaning of this card is the birth of a male child. Reversed meaning This card warns against picking a fight. A confrontation or ultimatum could lead to a disastrous loss.
