II Two of Swords
The Two of Swords means detachment. It suggests an internal conflict, where you may be wanting to get away from the rush. The problem is becoming too isolated, closing yourself off from everyone around you. Being defensive is one thing, but putting up insurmountable barriers can mean breaking away from reality.
This card says that the best thing at the moment is to find peace and balance and not make hasty decisions. Just as the card suggests an inner conflict, it can also indicate a duel with another person, where each one thinks they are right.
A little more about Two of Swords...
The Two of Swords symbolizes a time of uncertainty and defense. In the card, we see a blindfolded woman holding two crossed swords. She is sitting on a beach, and it is night. It is a card that does not represent movement, as the woman remains seated and seems unable to make an assertive decision. The blindfolded eyes and the darkness that surrounds her suggest that she does not find the answers she is looking for outside, but that the answers are inside her, all she has to do is use her intellect.
The stones in the water represent obstacles and the crescent moon shows a new beginning, arising from the solutions found to the problem at hand.
