- Fragile balance
- General
- Eyes closed, arms crossed. Refusing to choose between two options, holding a fragile balance by avoiding the problem.
- Love & relationships
- Torn between two people, or refusing to admit what the relationship has become. The heart protects itself by shutting down.
- Career & money

Reversed

How the card works
Swords (Air). Air is the mind: ideas, words, decisions, but also doubts and quarrels. Swords cut, clarify, and sometimes wound.
Two. The choice: two forces face to face, a balance to find or a decision to make.
