Two of Swords
Swords · Air · II · stalemate · avoidance · blindfolded choice
Upright meaning
Blindfolded, two blades crossed, back to the water. A decision avoided by refusing to look at it. The stalemate is self-maintained — the blindfold is not tied by anyone else.

Two of Swords reversed
The blindfold coming off. New information, or simply the willingness to choose.
Reversal does not flip Two of Swords into its opposite. The same force is present but blocked, turned inward, or overdone — which of the three applies is decided by the cards around it. The keywords shift to decision made, information arriving, release.
In love
Refusing to face what a relationship has become, or a standoff where neither person will speak first.

Yes or no?
No. Drawn in answer to a direct question, this card advises against it — or says not yet. Want it read against your actual situation rather than in general? Pull a card here.
