Two of Swords upright meaning
Two options, and you have blindfolded yourself rather than look. The Two of Swords is a truce that holds only while nobody moves. It cannot last: take the blindfold off and gather the information you have been avoiding.
Two of Swords reversed meaning
The stalemate breaks — information arrives, or the decision gets made for you because you waited too long.
Advice of the card. Stop pretending that ignoring a problem will make it disappear. Remove your blindfold, gather the necessary facts, and make a firm decision before the situation forces your hand.
