II of Swords Spell
Stalemate,
checkmate,
This decision is a weighted wait;
or is it a waited weight?
My eyes are open but shut to what is seen.
Two choices, both good, both bad, both are in between.
I'm betwixt;
I've got it twisted.
The problem's persisted.
If I stay here, my fears will steer.
But, if I go, won’t they just follow?
Which rules: head or heart?
Is this a finish or a start?
My mind is unkind to feelings and intuition;
My heart is apart from thoughts and reason.
Logic versus emotion,
is like a weak potion,
a baseless decision...
indecision, imprecision,
My own prison:
thoughts bashing around without passion.
Both shall be considered
until I'm no longer bewildered.
I can't stay here,
with or without fear,
covering my heart and shielding my mind
with swords that stab each other blind.
My complete self, my wealth, I will find inside.
The answers to my questions
and the questions to my answers
therein reside.
Now, what did I decide?
My eyes are open but shut to what is seen.
Two choices, both good, both bad, both are in between.
STALEMATE, DIFFICULT CHOICES, AMBIVALENCE
All of our choices have a spectrum of consequences. In the Two of Swords, you’re feeling stuck between a crossroads and either path has benefit and detriment. It’s up to you to look within and decide the final outcome. Weighing all the pros and cons of each side can be helpful but sometimes the best decision still ends up harming someone along the way, even yourself. Once you commit to your decision, understand that you only did what you thought was best. Learn from any mistakes moving forward.
Eight’s Wisdom: If you’re feeling completely stuck with a decision, our first thoughts usually were our gut instincts. Go with that. If you keep having the same problem over and over again, maybe a different path altogether is the remedy. You might have to pick the lesser of two evils. You might have to pick what’s worse for you and better for someone else or vice versa. You can’t really hide from this major choice, so just pick the one you hate the least and move on from there. Keep in mind the Rule of Three and you might find some peace.
