Two of Wands

Upright Meaning

A figure stands on castle battlements holding a globe in one hand and a wand in the other, gazing out over a vast landscape. A second wand is mounted to the wall. This is the card of planning and vision — the moment between the initial spark (Ace) and taking action. You hold the world in your hands, considering your options. The Two of Wands says the vision is real, the path is open, but you must choose a direction. Standing on the battlements forever is not an option.

Reversed Meaning

Reversed, the Two of Wands suggests paralysis by analysis or fear of leaving your comfort zone. You can see the possibilities but cannot bring yourself to step out. Perhaps you are over-planning, or perhaps you are afraid that the real journey won't match the vision. The globe feels heavy. Consider what specifically is holding you back.
