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.
Six of Cups
Upright
Revisiting the past, childhood memories, innocence, joy
The Six of Cups is a card that brings you back to past memories. You may just be visiting those memories in your mind. You could go to a high school gathering or reconnect with an old friend. A past lover may show up again. Take this opportunity to see whether you still have a lot in general and if you wish to maintain the relationship again.
The Six of Cups card often signifies an enhanced level of balance and harmony in your connections. You are ready to share, without expectation.
The Six of Cups asks you to connect with your inner child, experience again their fun and innocence. When you give yourself permission to be playful and spontaneous, you relate more with your true self and your inner voice.
The Six of Cups can also refer to children, suggest a pregnancy (it could be twins), birth and siblings. It may also be a clue that you are about to spend more time with junior children.
In a love reading, the Six of Cups card could also refer to a past-life relationship. Your partner could be someone, you know from your previous lives. I some cases, this card could also refer to a third-party relationship situation.
Reversed
Living in the past, forgiveness, lacking playfulness
When the reversed Six of Cups appears in a reading, question whether you’re clinging to the past and missing your present. Nostalgia may bring up positive or negative emotions, but either way, when you are not living in the now, you miss out on the possibilities right in front of you. It’s OK to entertain a little in remembering about the past, as long as you know that true transformation can only happen in the present moment.
The reversed Six of Cups may also be a symbol you have lost connection with your inner child, so your life has become dull. You might be closed off from new possibilities from the Universe because you are taking on too much of the burden and weight. Open yourself to an inquisitive mind as though you were a child again.
The reversed Six of Cups might be a hint that you are taking a private walk at memory road. You may be hesitant to let other people know that you are visiting these old memories, being afraid that they will judge you.
