Two Cards
If you are trying to make a very important decision in your life and you don’t know which path to follow, if you are really doubtful about the consequences the crossroads tarot spread will help you to find your way.
Two of Wands
Upright
Future planning, progress, decisions, discovery
The Two of Wands grasps the sparkle of inspiration from the Ace of Wands and converts it into a definite progress plan. The discovery period is over and now you need to solve out how. You are examining your choices and planning out the route, considering all opportunities and possible difficulties.
When the Two of Wands shows up in a Tarot reading, you are not ready yet to make your progress – you just start to set a clear plan before any action. The Two of Wands is also about exploration, especially as you walk outside your comfort zone. It may take strength, but this card gives you the confidence of knowing yourself.
The Two of Wands shows that you are observing your longer-term goals and are available to design for what you need to do to accomplish them. Now you feel ready for a revolution – this time thinking your long-term future. You also may be considering travel, additional study or an important career change to expand your horizons beyond your current circumstances.
The number Two in Tarot often symbolize decisions. With the Two of Wands, you may make a decision between holding with what you already know or taking a risk. You know the world has something more significant to give you and you must leave your usual life to benefit on this chance.
Reversed
Personal goals, inner alignment, fear of unknown, lack of planning
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.
Two Of Cups
Upright
Unified love, partnership, mutual attraction
If the Ace of Cups symbolizes the love from within, the Two of Cups is the love between two souls. With this card, you are creating deep connections, based on shared preferences, kindness, and absolute love. While these connections are still in the initial steps, they have the potential to grow into something deeply satisfying and rewarding. You have shared respect for one another, and you reach essential planes of knowledge and understanding.
When the Two of Cups card shows up in a Tarot reading, you may enter a new relationship, perhaps with a lover, friend or co-worker. You are both concentrated on creating a mutually helpful relationship.
In a romantic relationship, the Two of Cups shows a new union based on common attraction. There is both a bodily and spirit connection that leaves you dizzy and shaky at the knees. You bring out the best in each other and raise each other to even greater levels of potential. The transfer of emotion is deep, and you are both willing to do whatever it takes to hold one another. In some cases, the Two of Cups can point to marriage or engagement.
In a career reading, the Two of Cups is a symbol you are both on the same wavelength and share a similar vision with your business partner. A business like this – built on trust and mutual respect – is likely to win so long as you proceed to interact with one another and focus on your shared association.
Reversed
Self-love, break-ups, disharmony, distrust
The reversed Two of Cups is about love for yourself. When you love yourself completely, you welcome a life of happiness because you believe you deserve it. When you come from this point of self-love, you will have more fulfilling connections with other people.
Here is the shadow side of the reversed Two of Cups. Before you seek out your Prince Charming or tie the bond with your forever love, make sure you’ve fulfilled your cup with all that love liquid for yourself first. To find satisfaction in your relationships, find the love within you. No other soul, property, or success can do it for you.
The reversed Two of Cups can sometimes indicate a break-up. You are out of harmony with each other and don‘t experience the same loving connection you did in the past. Communication may be limited or delayed, and the energy flow between you extinguished. To change this situation, open up and share, and maintain a safe area for one another to express your feelings.
