Two of Wands
This card shows a man holding one wand in his hand while putting the other aside. It's all about making a choice. Wands are about passion, and the sort of energy needed for passionate decision-making isn't available while you're thinking about two things at once. It clearly indicates that you will be successful if you form a relationship.
The two of wands indicates that you have two options from which to choose. Both seem to be excellent options or at least two methods to get the same goals. There is, however, a limit to how many you may choose from.
The two of Wands denotes the creation of new partnerships or the success of current joint ventures in the near future. With determination and the capacity to make sound choices, you will most likely reap the benefits of these alliances in the shape of financial gain or promotion. Similarly, the benefits mentioned are those that are owed to you properly, so this is better news for people in equitable relationships than for those seeking to profit at the cost of others. This card's appearance may also indicate underlying insecurity or anxiety on your side. Based on the remainder of the distribution, these emotions may or may not be warranted.
In many stories, the protagonist is the one who isn't afraid to attempt something new - to go for that unique idea that no one else has thought of. He'll be the one to fire the gun into the air, bouncing off the flag post and landing on the evil man. She'll be the one to advise charging straight into the enemy and flanking them in an unexpected location. Everyone in the hero's circle believes they are insane. They often remark, "Don't you realize that won't work?" They'll very certainly test the idea anyhow, often with tremendous success. This is the energy of the Two of Wands.
We stand on the wall of what seems to be an observation point in the Two of Wands, with farms, valleys, rivers, seas, mountains, and perhaps a structure or two seen far below and in the distance. The man stands at this observation point, well-dressed and holding a long wand/staff in his hand. He has a miniature replica of the globe in his other hand... he "holds the whole world in his palms." and he is gazing out at all he can see, pondering everything. The vista is breathtaking and he seems eager to put his newfound knowledge to good use.
This card is urging you to take advantage of the present moment. Great ambitions and big ideas are often postponed until tomorrow. We all soon learn that tomorrow never arrives — only now exists. The Two of Wands is advising you that now is the day to do what needs to be done, and you should take action. Do you believe your manager is incorrect? Let him know. Do you think you could take the stage by storm? Go on an audition. Do you believe that the action you wish to take is too risky? That isn't the case today!
The Obstacle is Part of The Path
The Two of Wands may also indicate that you should go ahead with ideas that are a bit out of the ordinary. Your strategy, like the hero in many tales, may not be the most apparent... but it just may be crazy enough to succeed.
The Two of Wands encourages you to take action; here are some questions to get you started. So, what exactly do you want to do? What is it about that one thing you've been putting off doing? What would you gain if you went ahead and did it now? What have you got to lose? Are you brave enough to confront your fears and accomplish what has to be done?
What Two of Wands Means for You Today
The Two of Wands has appeared today to remind you that conflict is best met with gentleness and disengagement. While you may be tempted to use your willpower and determination to power through an obstacle, this can often create more problems. This can show up when you are so fixated on a particular outcome in the future that you begin to neglect the present moment and overlook important details. If you are met with conflict with another person or if you are frustrated that your ambitions are not playing out as smoothly as you hoped, now is the time to disengage and focus on your mental and emotional state of being.
