Two of Swords

In the image, we see a woman with blindfolded eyes holding two swords in front of her, blocking the path to the Moon, creating an antithesis to The High Priestess card. This signifies blindly searching our path on the intellectual plane, disregarding our inner intuitions.

The Two of Swords suggests that the querent is in a complex situation where a difficult decision must be made, and finding the best solution requires inner wisdom and balance.
