Two of Swords
argument, disagreement, hostility
Two swords cross in the middle of the card, like two people facing off. This is the card of arguments, misunderstandings and falling out, sometimes with someone very close to you. It also speaks of not knowing which of two paths to take. Nobody gives an inch and the atmosphere turns sour. Before you keep fighting, ask yourself whether being right is really worth it.
In love
Arguments over little things that are hiding something bigger. Pride on both sides. If you're single, you're torn between two people, or between opening up and protecting yourself.
Career and money
Friction with a coworker, a partner or a client. A disagreement that's holding up the work or a payment. Find someone neutral to mediate, and get everything in writing.
Health
The stress of all this conflict is taking a toll on your sleep and your stomach. Step away from the argument for a while and breathe.
Reversed
The end of a fight, a truce, or a truth that comes out and clears the air between you.
As a person
Someone you keep butting heads with, even though you're a lot alike. Also someone indecisive who won't commit and leaves you alone with the decision.
The Two of Swords in a reading
In the past
An argument or a falling out with a friend left its mark. Things were never properly settled, and part of what's happening to you now comes from there.
In the present
Right now you're in a tug of war with someone, or with yourself over two options. Fighting is wearing you out more than it's giving you anything back.
In the future
A disagreement with someone close to you is coming, and it could drag on if nobody gives way. If you're the one who reaches out first, the conflict will be much shorter.
As a yes or no answer
No
No, not for now. The Two of Swords is about two positions that clash. As long as each side keeps pulling its own way, what you're asking about stays stuck in the argument.
