Welcome to part 8 of my 40 part series Minor Arcana Meanings Deep Dives – each week or so we’ll hang out with ONE Tarot card and dive deeply into it’s symbols, meanings and messages – I’ll even give you some journalling questions to help you contemplate and connect with each card. This is similar to my Major Arcana Meanings Deep Dive series and my Meet the Court Cards series.
Today we’re diving into the Two of Wands – a card that reminds you that your point of power is always in the NOW and how you use your energy is the source of your true power.
Suit =Wands
Element = Fire (energy, spirit, action, passion)
Number 2– options, time & space
Keywords:
Contemplation (options), precipice/gateway, space (to think and be), the power of NOW, boldness, claiming your power
Symbols:
-holding the world = the world is your oyster, weighing his options
-two wands = gateway, space, between past and future
-up high, looking out over landscape = contemplation, surveying options, high vantage point
Advice & Messages
When the Two of Wands shows up in your reading, it’s encouraging you to give yourself time and space to contemplate something. Consider where you’ve been (your past) and decide where you’d like to go (future) but know that you’re point of power is always in the NOW.
Two of Wands reminds you that how you decide to use your energy is powerful. Your “energy” consists of things like your time, focus, attention, money, emotions, thoughts and actions. So ask yourself: “where do I want to put my energy next?”
External vs Internal meanings
External = pause and give yourself time and space OR be BOLD in how you decide to use your energy and claim your power.
Internal = contemplate where you’d like to put your energy next…
Reversed
If the Two of Wands appears reversed in a reading, it can indicate that your not allowing yourself the needed time and space for proper contemplation of your life, instead rushing along, always being busy and never stopping to question where you’re going.
Two of Wands reversed can indicate that you don’t realize your own power as you’re unaware of how you use your energy on a daily basis. It can also indicate a refusal to step into your power and difficulty staying in the present moment.
Journalling Questions:
