The Two of Swords tarot card DESCRIPTION: illustration, colors, and symbolism

• The Two of Swords tarot card shows a blindfolded woman.  She is seating, dressed in a white robe, holding two crossed swords in each of her crossed hands. The blindfold over her eyes tells us that the woman is confused. She can see neither the problem nor the solution clearly. She may be missing relevant information that would help her. The swords she holds are in perfect balance. The two swords denote a crossroads. They are suggesting that she is weighing her thoughts and addressing both sides of the situation to find the best solution. The rocky islands in the water behind the woman represent the obstacles that must be faced. The water represents emotions. The Suit of Swords traditionally associates with the mind and intellect. So, the presence of emotions shows that the woman must use her head and her heart to weigh her options. She will have to consider the situation as a whole. Her hair is parted and her third eye is visible as if to tell that the woman sees with her intuition. Also, the crescent moon to her right is a sign that she needs to trust her intuition.
