Two of Swords as feelings

Held at arm's length is how these feelings tend to sit. This person may care about you and also have decided, for now, not to look too closely at what that means.

As feelings, upright

Held at arm's length is how these feelings tend to sit. This person may care about you and also have decided, for now, not to look too closely at what that means. You might notice a calm that feels guarded, or answers that never quite commit. The stillness is protective, and it usually takes effort to keep up.

As feelings, reversed

When this card turns over, a feeling that was being kept in check starts to come through. This person may be close to admitting something, to themselves or to you, after a long stretch of saying nothing. It can arrive all at once and feel overwhelming, so a little patience with how it comes out goes a long way.

What it says about love

A stalemate: two people who will not look at the problem, a decision about the relationship you keep not making, a truce that solves nothing. The blindfold is a choice. Take it off.

The person behind the feelings

A careful peacekeeper who would rather hold two sides in balance than choose between them. This person is often calm, fair-minded and hard to provoke, and good at keeping a tense situation steady. They can also keep themselves out of reach by declining to take a position.

Feelings it can stir in you

Upright, Two of Swords is about stalemate, a difficult choice and truce; reversed, about a decision made, information surfaces and the blindfold off. If the question is how you feel, read it as a mirror rather than a verdict.
