A reflective starting point
What is Two of Swords — Peace asking you to look at?
Meaning changes with the position, the surrounding cards and your question. Take what follows as a language, not a verdict.
Upright
Allow yourself a truce: the present balance lets you clarify your ideas without hurry.
At first sight
Peace regained after a conflict, balance between opposing forces, reconciliation. It points to a temporary calm that allows reflection before acting.
Within you
The mind finding quiet by suspending judgement; the ability to hold opposing viewpoints together without forcing a choice.
On the path
Air in Chokmah, with the Moon in Libra in the first decan: lunar gentleness in the sign of balance. Peace is the intellect in its original form, before division becomes conflict: a fragile calm, because Air by nature moves.
The shadow
Ill-dignified, it signals indecision, stalemate, an apparent peace that puts a problem off.
Reversed
In the Thoth tradition a reversed card is read through its dignity with the neighbouring cards; this is its shadow side.
A fragile peace that cracks; prolonged indecision, conflicts avoided instead of resolved.
In love, work and spirit
Love. Reconciliation, calm after an argument; take care not to avoid important subjects.
Work. Agreements, mediations, a pause in professional conflicts.
Spirit. Mental stillness as the door of meditation.

Crowley's note
Crowley crosses two swords joined by a five-petalled blue rose, against a geometric background: harmony born of the tension of opposites.
