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.
Three of Pentacles
Upright
Teamwork, collaboration, learning, implementation
When the Three of Pentacles card shows up in a Tarot reading, get it as a message to cooperate with other people to achieve big outcomes. Each person has an essential role to play, and when they come together as an organization, they can build something much more meaningful than if they were to begin the plan on their own.
The Three of Pentacles symbolizes the value of various views and levels of knowledge in collaboration. Even though their qualifications, experiences are very varied, they can share their perspective in a way that builds synergy and enhances the completed outcome. So, when you work on projects with other people, recognize the importance that each person delivers to the table. You will also discover from each member of the organization when you see their individual participation.
The Three of Pentacles card, like the other Threes in the Tarot, signifies the first steps of implementation that accompany the Ace‘s phase and the organizing step of the Two’s. You know what you want to build; you’ve laid out the ideas, collected your supplies, and arranged to work. Of course, you are not close to the ending yet, but you are making things proceed.
See the Three of Pentacles as a reassurance that you are on the correct path. You are skilled at what you do. Accomplishing important goals, such as constructing a magnificent church, needs accurate planning. This card, accordingly, tells you to design a complete plan and to follow your agenda.
Reversed
Disharmony, misalignment, working alone
Reversed, the Three of Pentacles implies you may be fighting with a lack of unity with your team members and it hard to finish a project together. You’re not on the same page and not appreciating each other’s ideas. If this resonates, you need to reconnect with the fundamental goals of the plan and make new arrangements about how you will operate together to accomplish those purposes. The reversal of this card can imply that you need to make well-organized energy into your job.
There may also be a lack of tolerance between company members, people may be trying to prove themselves and gain an advantage over each other.
The reversed Three of Pentacles can also point out that you are working in a comparatively ordinary job in which your participation and expertise go under-valued. There is not much possibility for growth and improvement, and you feel as if your skills are not being used. It may be the correct time to make career progress and find a company that appreciates your expertise.
Sometimes, the reversed Three of Pentacles can symbolize that you like to work alone and get the work done yourself. You may be tired of waiting for others to complete. However, if you find yourself in striving too hard, be open to seeking cooperation.
Two of Swords
Upright
Difficult decisions, weighing up options, an impasse, avoidance
The Two of Swords shows that you are handling a difficult decision and you are confused about which option to choose. Both possibilities may seem equal and you don’t know about which will lead you to the best result.
In a reading, it may help to draw further cards to show what it is you are seeking to decide upon. You may also like to draw more cards, for the pros and cons of each option.
The woman in this card covers her eyes with a blindfold, showing that she cannot see the whole of her situation. So you may lack the knowledge you need to make the right choices. You may be needing something, such as the warnings or risks, alternative resolutions or important pieces of information that would guide you in a distinct direction.
The Two of Swords could also purposely wear the blindfold to avoid making a choice. Are you trying to hide from a hard situation, hoping that if you neglect it long enough, you won’t need to bother about it? Sadly, the problem is unlikely to resolve itself, and the longer you hold, the longer you will lengthen this present condition.
The Two of Swords appears as a reminder that many of life’s choices are tough ones and rarely come with plain solutions. The message is to make your decisions with your best purposes, fully aware of the potential consequences.
Reversed
Indecision, confusion, information overload, stalemate
The reversed Two of Swords implies that you are encountering a tough decision and cannot decide which direction to take. It seems impossible to make the correct decision as you know either option will lead to negative results. As a result, you are finding yourself feeling stuck, which is just making the circumstance worse.
You may also lack the knowledge you need to make a reasonable decision. You may also be closed off to new information that could solve your dilemma like the blindfolded woman is closed off to the outside world.
The reversed Two of Swords is asking you to listen to your intuition about this tough choice. Believe what you know to be right for you. Make your choices based on your own inner compass.
The reversed Two of Swords often describes a delay. You may reach an obstacle with a friend or a loved one. The problem is that all people involved are declining to see the circumstance from the other’s viewpoint.
The reversed Two of Swords may also hint you are feeling stuck in the center of two opposing sides. You may be trying to play the mediator role, but in doing so, you are just frustrating yourself. Determine whether you truly have a role to play and whether you can build peace between the two conflicting parties.
