What is the Meaning of the Two of Swords Tarot Card?
The Sword suit in the Minor Arcana relates directly to our communication, or lack thereof.
The Two of Swords features a woman kneeling with her back to the ocean and two golden swords in each of her hands.
She is facing out to us, but her eyes are blindfolded. She is quite literally turning a blind eye to her environment.
The Two of Swords represents indecisiveness, being held back by fear, and withholding our true thoughts and feelings. Feeling like we’re trapped is a part of human nature.

The Two of Swords is a wake up call. It tells us that we need to recognize when we are the ones holding ourselves back, and encourages us to redirect our thinking in order to move forward.
