2 of Swords

2 of Swords

The 2 of Swords shows a blindfolded woman holding two crossed swords. She sits on a stone bench by a rocky sea. She is at a stalemate. She cannot see, and she is blocking her heart (the crossed swords).

It represents indecision. You are stuck between two choices, refusing to make a move. You are blocking out information to avoid making a painful decision.

It asks: "What are you refusing to see?" The blindfold is self-imposed. Take it off. Make the decision. Even a wrong decision is better than no decision.
