In classic Rider Waite Smith tarot decks, Two of Swords shows a woman sitting with two swords crossed over her chest. She struggles with being in her head all the time and now the situation has gone so far that she is forced to look inward. She has a blindfold. Behind her the moon shines yellow, even her shoes are yellow. It is a symbol that she is connected to her intuition. Behind the woman is water with many cuts. A symbol that boats cannot get through the water, that the road is blocked and dangerous for the boats to get through. The card stands for a big blockage where you don't get anywhere physically until there is inner clarity. Water is a symbol of emotions and Two of Swords indicates that you have a blocked Sacral Chakra (emotional imbalance) as well as a blocked 3rd Eye Chakra (unclear visions) – you cannot see clearly what to do, emotions do not provide guidance – only the intuition (the moon). When we close our eyes, we go inward.
