Two of Swords
The picture · Bright face · Shadow · Way through
Every card has four faces: what the picture shows, the bright face it turns when the situation supports it, the shadow when the same root is overdone or stuck, and the way through that the picture itself draws.
Blindfolded, she crosses two swords over her heart, sea at her back
Holding balance before deciding
A stalemate kept by keeping the blindfold on
The blindfold is hers to remove — look at the water and it resolves
As your card of the day
If Two of Swords is the first card you draw today, the day leans toward “Holding balance before deciding”. When it tips toward “A stalemate kept by keeping the blindfold on”, remember the way the picture draws: The blindfold is hers to remove — look at the water and it resolves.
