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.
Six of Swords
Upright
Transition, change, rite of passage, releasing baggage
The Six of Swords tells that you are in a state of change, leaving behind what was usual and going towards the foreign. You might be moving to another house, ending a relationship, switching jobs, going through a mental transformation. This change may be done by you or made upon you, and you may feel sorry to leave it behind. However, you know this move is necessary for your individual development. The sorrow over what you have released will soon be replaced by higher mental purity.
The Six of Swords asks you to release whatever is keeping you back. Instead, look ahead to your future and choose the approach most in association with your potential. You will need to make difficult decisions and settlements along the way. You are going towards a much better place in life, so long as you are willing to drop whatever you no longer need.
Furthermore, the Six of Swords invites you to think about any baggage you may take as you move from one stage to the next. In the boat, there are six standing swords – a symbol you are still taking a weight, which might delay your growth. These ‘swords’ may be thoughts, connections, customs, habits that are no longer helping you.
Reversed
Personal transition, resistance to change, unfinished business
When the reversed Six of Swords appears in a Tarot reading, you may be going through a passage of spiritual transition so you can leave behind patterns that are not serving you any longer. This is a deeply private journey, and you are working in solitude to make it appear. You have recognized what you must free to welcome new thought patterns and are now making it to success in your life.
Sometimes, the reversed Six of Swords symbolizes that you know you need to make a difference in your life but are unwilling to do so. You may believe that the problem will go away on its own. Or you may try to deceive yourself into considering you can proceed with it, however, you know deep in your heart it is time to move on. That trouble can be a positive indication that maturity is happening, so feel into that drive and let it help you to keep developing yourself.
In some examples, the reversed Six of Swords implies that you are opposing change because you believe that it has been made upon you. Reaffirm to yourself why you require to make this shift and how it adjusts with your own benefits.
If you were trying to move on but you couldn’t, the reversed Six of Swords implies that there may be an unfinished job, unsolved struggle, or lessons which you need to know before you can move ahead in your life wholeheartedly. Find what is holding you back, and try to fix those issues.
Two of Pentacles
Upright
Multiple priorities, time management, prioritisation, adaptability
When the Two of Pentacles card indicates that you are juggling your preferences and responsibilities. In the upright position, this card notes you are doing a good job of coordinating various priorities; but the number Two cautions you that the line between coping with these requirements and missing control is thin. You need to control your resources thoroughly so you do not lose your stability.
The Two of Pentacles often shows up when you are active, hurrying from one thing to the next, with little resting in between. You may think that you haven‘t got sufficient time. However, learn that you don’t have to be busy to complete things. Similarly, the Two of Pentacles can arrive when you are taken up in the daily tasks and losing view of the big picture.
The Two of Pentacles card encourages you to control your time and your preferences correctly. Your workload is huge right now, and to get everything completed, you need to stay concentrated. Essential time management is important to your experience to balance these different preferences. This card also suggests you pay proper attention to your overall management, including handling investments, staying on top of your responsibilities. Be mindful that you do not miss crucial meetings and other commitments.
This card calls your perception of the concept of balance. Endeavor for balance, nothing ever waits in absolute harmony. For example, maintaining your employment and household responsibilities seems excellent, but in fact, your relationships could be more high-priority one week and career the next one. So, the appearance Two of Pentacles in a Tarot reading is a notice to be tolerant and adaptable.
Reversed
Over-committed, disorganisation, reprioritisation
In a reversed position, the Two of Pentacles signals that you are overly active and striving to manage your overloaded agenda or stay on top of your checks. Others might not understand it yet, but the pressure is getting to you and you may even find yourself being anxious and upset. Observe this card’s lesson and get settled. You may need to bring the arrangement to your obligations through planning. Remove tasks that are no longer in adjustment with your purposes.
The reversed Two of Pentacles can be alerting you that you are spending in one scope of your life at the cost of others.
The reversed Two of Pentacles encourages you to reevaluate your decisions and determine where you want to apply your resources. Disturbances are plenty, and it will take your focus to stay true to your purposes. Pick the one thing you need to focus on so you can give it your complete concentration and you will reach achievement.
