Recognizing your inner strength, being an authority, having the world in your hands, daring to take a risk, having your view on the future, having or developing your own style, accepting the challenge, end of a period where nothing really changed, join forces, from the plan-phase to the do-phase, to be a pioneer, live for the moment, being different than others, taking the bull by the horns, brave, expressing your opinion, being in control.

Meaning reversed

Lack of energy, listless, lack of change, unable to handle a problem, wanting to give up or giving up, self sabotage, losing track of your goal, doubt, hanging on to the past, projects that do not develop as they should, not getting enough cooperation, not feeling up to something, delay, blah!, losing, not being able to compete in the rat-race, not knowing what to do.

The Two of Wands in your reading

With the Two of Wands you had a plan that's now finally starting to manifest itself. You're starting to understand what needs to be done to make it happen. Sometimes it can discourage your a bit. This can cause a feeling as if you're not up to the challenge, but you are. You have to look forward and keep acknowledging your own strengths to make it happen. Now is the time to invest energy because it happens with two's that they can slow down a bit. Don't let anything or anyone get your off your path. The stayer eventually wins.

Still it can feel as if you are at a crossroads and you don't know what to do or where to go. Do you want to go left or right? One road will lead to your goal, but your know you will also have to avoid some pitfalls. The easier road almost leads to your goal and you secretly know that almost is not going to cut it. You are a little bit scared for the difficult path but you know that it will lead you to happiness.

There is a lot of promise in the Two of Wands. If you choose the road that will lead you to your passion you will be happy in the end. If you choose the other path you will also be happy but it's just not what you wanted. It is almost what you wanted.

Strength is an important aspect in this card. Are you able to connect with it and make us of it? Or is someone taking your strength (or are you letting them?). In that case you will have to decide if you want to keep on going on this road or that you are choosing the other solution. Whether you are in control or not, don't let anyone discourage or blind you. Be courageous and make the necessary steps. Keep on going towards your goal and grab the chances that are in front of you. Be creative and go for it.
