Two of Wands: tarot meaning, upright and reversed

A figure holds a globe and looks outward between two staffs.

Upright

planning · perspective

Consider the wider field before committing your resources.

Reversed

fear of change · limited scope

The familiar may constrain a plan that needs a broader view.

In a reading

The position gives this card a particular task: a description of the situation, a challenge, or guidance. Read its image and meaning alongside the other cards and the question that brought them together.

Golden Dawn correspondence

Mars in Aries, 0–10 degrees. This is the attribution in Book T.
