Meanings For Tarot Cards

Minor Arcana: The Twos

When looking at the meanings for Tarot cards in the Minor Arcana, it's helpful to understand the numbers ruling the suits.  

Two the number of growth and union.  It is the blending of opposites to create something new and perfect.  Like in nature, every whole is made of opposites: light and dark, yin and yang.  Two reminds us that sometimes these variations are needed for balance and harmony.


Two Of Wands

Upright:  Power and success in career matters is often indicated by the Two of Wands.  Productive partnerships may form at this point in time, and many positive relationships may develop at work.  Two of Wands can also indicate a successful business man or woman who will act as a guide or mentor, working with you towards greater career achievements.  Agreements in business or real estate will make you more money than you expect, and contracts can be easily negotiated.

Reversed:  Partnerships filled with friction and misunderstands can occur when the Two of Wands is reversed.  Delays and miscommunication in legal matters are par for the course.  Sometimes it is because partners are seeking difference outcomes from their venture; one may want money while the other is searching for creative freedom.  Being inflexible can lead to further misunderstandings.

Meanings for Tarot Cards Keywords: balanced partnerships, productive relationships, work friendships, employment mentors, successful real estate deals, profitable contracts, hollow success, end of partnerships, delays, unexpected expenses, stubbornness and pride


Two of Coins

Upright:  When the Two of Coins appears, you are being given the opportunity to develop new skills.  Even though you may have to perform extra work to get something you want, it's important to see help when it arrives.  You may develop additional skills to open your own business or some overtime for extra cash.  The Two of Coins can also refer an imbalance in your work life.  One day you may be running off your feet, and then next twiddling your thumbs.  Likewise, you may be experiencing financial fluctuations where one month you are scrambling for spare change while the next you have more money than you can count. 

Reversed:  If the Two of Coins is reversed, everything seems out of balance.  Money seems to go out faster than it comes in and trying to sort out looming debts can seem impossible. At first, it is easy to blame your fluctuating moods on your job and money chaos.  Really though, it is important to realize that the common denominator is you.  Once you stop acting aimless, everything else will gain direction and purpose.  

Meanings for Tarot Cards Keywords: financial balance, extra work, new skills, business development, entrepreneur, assistance, balance energies and resources, duality, lack of focus, growing debts, inconsistent action, need for purpose.


Two Of Swords

Upright:  Calm after the storm is signified with the Two of Swords but it is an uneasy peace laced with tension.  A problem has reached a stalemate and while there is balance, it is also clear that there isn't resolution yet.  Relief is in sight so be aware that you won't need to worry much longer.  The Two of Swords can also refer to someone who is willing to maintain peace at any price.  Not liking fights or disagreements, you may hide your own feelings or pretend like everything is okay to keep the peace.  Emotions need to be vented so allow yourself to acknowledge what you're feeling to relieve pressure.

Reversed:  Think twice or even three or four times when the Two of Swords is reversed.  Your advisers, intuition and knowledge are clouded and you are not in the best position to make any final decisions.  Any changes will occur slowly, and honestly, right now that's for the best.  There is an air of deceit the surrounds you and it will be hard find agreements that work to your advantage.  While you'll feel like being impulsive to move things forward, you'll regret anything you agree to now. 

Meanings for Tarot Cards Keywords:Uneasy truce, balance, justice, calm after the storm, uneasy peace, caution, take care, think carefully before acting, lies and deceit, stalemate, slow change


Two of Cups

Upright: When the Two of Cups appears, partnerships of every kind will benefit.  If it is a matter of love, established relationships will become even more loving.  For those who are looking for love, a new important love affair will start.  When a career question is indicated, a strong working relationship or business partnership will started; from the emotional and mental bonds, great things will be produced.  When a friendship is indicated, it will be a strong relationship filled with warmth and fun.  With the perfect balance the Two of Cups provides, every type of relationship will benefit and prosper.

Reversed:  Emotional hardships and imbalance are suggested with the Two of Cups reversed.  It is a time when it seems hard, if not impossible, to understand where others are coming from.  Arguments go around in circle and it may feel like the current situation will never get resolved.  Often, the best thing you can do is to just take a break; give yourself and other time to calm down and then reassess the situation.  It's important to take things slowly and not do anything too rash.  While it may seem hopeless, all is not lost.  There is no need to think of abandoning a relationship completely.  All you need is a little time and understanding. 

Meanings for Tarot Cards Keywords: love, harmony, romantic attachments, working partnerships, fun friendships, social butterfly, emotional battles, misunderstandings, separations, need for a break, dissolution, acting rashly, look for common ground.
