Two of Swords in 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.
In love, upright
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.
In love, reversed
A decision finally made, or information surfacing that breaks the deadlock. Something you were not seeing becomes plain. The relationship moves, in one direction or the other.
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. 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.
As a person
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.
As the other person in a reading
They are at a stalemate, holding two things in balance and refusing to look at either. Expect stillness, guardedness and no decision. You cannot choose for them; you can refuse to wait indefinitely.
The other person, reversed
They are being forced to a decision, or have just made one after a long hold. Expect either flood or relief. Give them a moment before you ask for more.
Yes or no in love
Upright, Two of Swords leans a no; reversed, a maybe. Take the blindfold off and look at the water.
