Refusing to look at the obvious.
Two of Swords upright
- Refusing to make a decision without getting the facts
- Exploring both sides of an argument
- Arguing passionately for what you believe in
- Weighing the issues
- Encouraging the open exchange of ideas
- Discussing political or religious issues without getting "hot under the collar"
Two of Swords reversed
- Rejecting evidence that conflicts with dearly-held beliefs
- Arguing with others just for the sake of doing so
- Nit-picking
- Putting off a decision because you're afraid to face the consequences
- Preventing others from getting the information they need to make good decisions
Two of Swords as a prediction
- Sometimes, the only way to win is to refuse to fight
- You're stuck for now; let time pass before taking action
