A blindfolded woman holds two crossed swords in front of her. You’ll often see a crescent moon in the sky above her. Sometimes you will see the ocean as part of the background.
Swords are the suit most closely associated with intellect, but water (like the ocean behind her) is associated with emotions. When you see the Two of Swords in a reading, you may be in a situation demanding that you choose between your head and heart. Indecision may be paralyzing you. You might also be feeling some deep emotional turmoil but are putting walls up around yourself to keep from dealing with it directly.
