Meaning of Two of Swords
The Two of Swords shows a blindfolded figure holding two crossed swords over the chest. It announces a difficult indecision: you block your emotions and avoid looking so you do not have to choose. The blindfold is not protection, it is avoidance. Sooner or later it will have to come off and you will have to decide.
“I take off the blindfold and face my decision honestly.”
