THE TWO OF SWORDS
“The Lord of Mental Equilibrium”
Moon in Libra
DESCRIPTION AND SYMBOLISM
A young blindfolded woman seated on a hard stone bench sits with her back to a choppy sea filled with rocks and crags that present a risky passage to any ship that would attempt to negotiate their waters. A crescent moon behind her rises over a distant shore and in each hand she holds one of two gigantic and heavy metal swords. The swords are crossed in front of her chest and angle upwards. She appears calm and seems for the moment able to maintain them in perfect balance. The lady sports soft yellow walking shoes and is wearing a full length robe. For the moment her situation is under control but she needs to find a way to solve her dilemma before this time of stability and equilibrium begins to slip away.

A balanced and stable mind is needed to resolve the situation or find a solution to your problem. Both the rational intelligence of the intellect and the moral intelligence of the reason must be brought to bear to resolve the present impasse. This state of equilibrium is only temporary so must look within yourself and allow your intuition to inform your consciousness. Only through introspection will you discover a way to solve your dilemma and be able to move forward.
When Appearing Reversed in a Reading
Your affairs will begin to move forward but you should use caution so you don’t wind up going in the wrong direction. Be skeptical about any advice that may be offered by your friends, no matter how well meaning. Remain alert as duplicity, falsehood and dishonesty may surround you at this moment.
THE TREE OF LIFE
“The Sphere of Wisdom”
When confronted with the need to move forward we must never forget that the only true light is the Inner Light that dwells at the root of our being. Only it can provide us with the strength and guidance that we need to help us when we have to break out of an impasse and start moving forward again.
