Two of Wands Tarot Card Description

The Two of Wands shows a well-dressed man standing on the battlements of a castle, looking out over the fertile landscape below. He wears a red hat and holds a small globe in his right hand. The red hat is a symbol of his prosperity and intellectual capabilities. The globe he holds represents everything he has achieved so far.

The battlements are decorated with an equal-armed cross, two red roses and two white lilies. The roses represent passion and desire, and the lilies purity of thought.

This man has achieved security and prosperity. We see him as he contemplates reaching beyond what he has already achieved.

What The Two of Wands Means In A Tarot Reading

The Two of Wands is about having everything but still wanting more. You have achieved so much and now you’re considering what your next move should be. You’re not content to simply sit back and enjoy a peaceful and serene life. You know there’s more out there – more abundance, success, excitement, adventure – and you’re at the point where you’re considering your next move.

If you’ve recently started a new business, then you can expect early success. It will be possible for you to build on this and be even more successful, but you’ll need to move beyond your comfort zone to do so.

You have big ambitions. Here we see you planning and strategizing how you can achieve those ambitions.

The Two of Wands Love And Relationships Tarot Meaning

You’re in a really good place. However, whether you’re in a relationship or not, you know that things could be better.

It may be that you’re getting a little bored with how things are. If you’re otherwise happy in your relationship, then now would be a good time to spice things up a little, or to reconnect with your partner. Something as small as committing to eating dinner together once a week and cuddling up to watch a movie afterwards can bring you closer to your partner and might be just what you need.

If, on the other hand, you’re not in a relationship at the moment, then the Two of Wands indicates that you’re keeping your options open and considering the possibility of getting involved with someone new.   

The Two of Wands Career Tarot Meaning

You’ve already achieved a lot in your career, but you’re ambitious for more. You realize that there’s a world of opportunity out there and you’re setting goals and laying down plans for your future. You’re aware of possibilities available to you and with careful planning you’ll be able to set out and achieve your dreams.

This will mean going beyond what is familiar to you, but that won’t be a problem for you. Trust your instincts and have faith that the universe has your back.
