Two of Wands

UPRIGHT

A man stands on a battlement holding a globe in one hand and a staff in the other, a second staff fixed beside him. The Two of Wands is the long look — the planning that follows the first spark, the survey of the world from a vantage one has earned. The wand is in hand; the question is which horizon to walk toward.

REVERSED

Reversed, the Two of Wands is the view refused, or the plan made and never executed. The card can name fear of leaving the battlement, the comfort of survey turning into the cage of indecision. It can also speak to a horizon chosen for the wrong reasons — someone else's ambition mistaken for one's own.
