You may feel like you’re stuck between a rock and a hard place today as you struggle with a decision that’s not going to be easy to make. 

Perhaps this is why you’ve held off in the first place, as the the Two of Swords refers to not just feeling torn between two options but wanting to avoid making a choice between them as well. 

The figure in this card is blind-folded and holding up two sharp swords.  She may be leaning towards one but she’s not taking any steps to act on it. 

In this respect the Two of Swords can refer to inaction and immobility.  Sometimes this is due to fear: “What if I make the wrong decision?”  But it’s just often related to a desire to not have to choose at all. 

You may also find yourself at a Spiritual impasse, torn between two diametrically opposed urges: head vs. heart , love vs. lust, comfort vs. passion, etc. 

The Two of Swords says you’re on the fence about an important decision, weighing both sides of an argument, or looking for ways to reconcile two different but equally valid points.  You’ll need to rise above your personal biases so you can assess your dilemma from an objective standpoint. 

Alternately you may have come to an impasse with someone and are actualizing this energy through passive resistance. 

This isn’t a better solution and it won’t solve anything: you’re going to have to take a stand whether you like it or not.  The inertia that comes from choosing not to choose can prevent you from moving forward. 

It’s going to be critical to weigh your options, make your decision and then stand by it in the end.
