The Two of Swords Tarot Card Meaning

inaction or stagnation ~ withdrawing or running away ~ difficulties and hardship ~

--

The Two of Swords is the card of avoidance, particularly the avoidance of difficult feelings. It represents the state we can find ourselves in when we don't want to face something. We may deal with our difficulties by shutting down inside or by pretending to ourselves and others that nothing is wrong. We may then put on our happy face in an attempt to hide the pain. Unfortuneately, pain and difficulties don't disappear when we run away from them. Life is often painful and to pretend otherwise is to miss out on the opportunity to work through the block and transform ourselves.
