Two of Swords

The woman in the Two of Swords tarot card is blindfolded, making her choice on instinct rather than objective data she’d gather with her vision. This card is also seen as a truce or the eye of the hurricane when the waters are calm before the storm resumes. If you look at how she is holding her swords, it’s as if she is keeping any enemies at bay who may try to approach while she is vulnerable, allowing her the space to reconnect with her intuition.

This can also be seen as a card of making difficult choices and entering into the unknown. Tempted by conformity and the easy path, the woman in the Two of Swords refuses to take action till she has paused to listen within.

The Two of Swords represents being between a rock and a hard place, but you will make the right choice if you allow yourself to listen to your own voice. Think of Luke Skywalker wielding his light saber while blindfolded… the Force is within you
