Two of Swords/Two of Air

The Two of Swords is often about indecision or two choices where there is no clear “right” path to take.  However, more importantly it’s about willfully cutting ourselves off from emotions, as represented by the blindfold.  The sea behind the figure represents the sea of our subconscious.  The little rocks peeking through are like ideas bubbling to the surface of our subconscious.  However, the figure has her arms crossed over her heart chakra – representative of guarding herself emotionally in order to work to operate purely through logic.  While the blindfold is about intentionally being blind to a situation and how it impacts us emotionally, it can also represent that we can’t understand a problem and the possible solutions clearly.  She’s sitting on a bench, representing a pause in trying to resolve the situation.  Sometimes this pause is necessary in order to gain some perspective and clarity.  Finally, the blindfold can be a reflection of a time when either we try to ignore a problem, hoping it will go away, or a time when we don’t know all the facts.
