Reversed Two Of Wands

The Reversed Two of Wands inspires you to bring your attention inwards and focus on your individual aims. Recognize what is really valuable to you and what lights you up. You may have already headed in one direction, only to realize it wasn’t in full association with your more heartfelt values. This card asks you to go back to the drawing board and connect with your dreams, then make the necessary changes to your plan.

Sometimes, the Two of Wands reversed may symbolize that you have a useful idea, but need a clear plan to move it ahead. As a result, you are working aimlessly and not reaching your desired goal as quickly as you would like. 

If you are at a crossroads about which direction to take to accomplish your goals, be sure what you really want first. Determine what is putting you away from it. You may have been going for the easy path, when it is, in fact, the more difficult one that helps you grow.

Furthermore, the Reversed Two of Wands can hint that you are hesitant to step out into the unknown despite the tremendous potential. Reconnect with your dreams and know that you will need to investigate new fields to be at your greatest potential.
