Two of Swords Tarot Card Meanings The suit of Swords represents the realm of the mind, clarity of thought and discernment, but also the flip side of how we can let the fears of our thoughts sometimes get the better of us. In this image the woman’s head is disconnected from her body as it floats in a cloudy sky, with a metal band covering her eyes and two swords crossed before her, as if blocking her path. It can be quite literal to show conflicted thoughts and clouded thinking preventing clear direction when faced with a decision, which also prevents anything happening as the two identical swords of clarity sit poised and waiting in the meanwhile. In readings, the Two of Swords indicates a gridlock situation, everything is stuck and nothing is moving. In relationship readings it can sometimes appear when the couple are both sitting on the fence and neither is prepared to cross the invisible line, and so it continues (noticeable when minor tiffs are also evident). If reversed or ill-dignified, can point to duplicity, disloyalty, or can represent making a breakthrough depending upon context.
