What is two of swords?

According to Trinh, the two of swords card in tarot is often met with feelings of nervousness and uncertainty when pulled, because it often indicates difficult choices ahead. “Some also interpret this card as a balance or stalemate by trying to keep the status quo,” he adds. “And sometimes it points to bad choices or options, like being stuck between a rock and a hard place.”

What it means to pull page of swords reversed

When the two of swords card is pulled in reverse (meaning that it’s upside down instead of upright), however, the meaning transforms. “When this card is reversed, some will read it as a need to take action or to understand that things have already been set into motion,” Trinh says. “Yet there is a need to be mindful that this action is not always correct, like a decision that was made incorrectly which could lead to doubt. A two of swords reversed [like this] can imply a difficult or wrong choice made especially when paired with difficult cards such as death or the ten of swords. However if this card shows up with more positive cards or growth cards like the wheel of fortune or star card, it may imply a change of a situation in a positive direction and may cause less harm than maintaining the status quo.”
