Two of Wands, being the second card of the Wands Suit, carries all the qualities of number 2, which in a psychic reading translates to reflection, balance, opposites, decisions, duality, union, difficult choices, offers.
Two of Wands Meaning
When drawing tarot cards, usually they are put in a vertical setting, spread on a timeline of the past, present, and future. In this kind of drawing, the Two of Wands may come up upright, as well as reversed. Some psychic readers like to read reversed tarot cards.
Some don’t. Either way, the other tarot cards in the drawing will make up for the way the psychic reader conducts their readings, because a Tarot Card deck is connected to the energy of the psychic reader, so it ‘talks’ to them.
Upright Position
Merging the qualities of number “Two” and the qualities of the “Wands Suit,” the Two of Wands card would represent:
| Commanding attention and respect | Being an influencer |
| Showing authority and being a leader | The world is in your hands |
| Taking life as it comes | Daring to take risks |
| Standing your ground | Seizing the day, facing your fears |
| Doing what others won’t dare to | Having your style |
| Taking on a holistic approach |
Reverse Position
In a reverse position, the Two of Wands would mean precisely the opposite of its core qualities, bringing in the drawing:
| Being afraid to make your own choices | Not being fulfilled by your reality |
| Wanting to go, but having to stay | Your options are not in your hands |
| Someone else is directing your future | Your road is blocked |
Horizontal Position
There are also spreads where the tarot cards pulled are placed on vertical as well as horizontal positions. If the Two of Wands would sit in a horizontal position, it advises you to be in your presence. It may come as a result of you being indecisive, too emotional, or just wanting to choose a path or a line of working just because everyone is doing it, and not because you want it.
It says that you don’t have your steps figured out, you don’t really know what you want, so instead of messing around and losing even what you possess at the moment, it would be wiser to be in the present, and figure out your situation later, when you are not in your head or heart that much.

Upright Position
If you pull the Two of Wands upright, it is not one of the best cards to pull in such questions, because it means that your partner wants out of this relationship and is considering leaving you.

In this case, you want to pull more cards to clarify the answer.

It is an excellent card to pull when you want to move forward with your dreams because it means that you will also succeed. It may even mean that even though you have not thought about changing jobs, an event will present new opportunities to you, or you may be obligated to find another job, but it will work out well for you.
This could also mean that you will soon be doing two jobs or having multiply sources of income.
What not to do?
The Two of Wands in an upright position would mean not to take the road less traveled, to hold back on the adventure you’ve planned for yourself, because this may not be the right time, or you may not have everything figured out.

Two of Wands – Timing
When will something happen answer?
If it is a question that involves around the timing of an event and you pull the Two of Wands, this would mean that whatever you desire or wonder about will manifest pretty soon. How soon is that? It would be kind of complicated because it would mean springtime, of a Zodiac Sign season Aries, Leo, or Sagittarius.
It would also be counted in days or months, which would mean one month later, or around the 2nd, 11th, 20th, or 29th of the upcoming month.
The way you want to interpret this is keeping in mind that whatever you are asking about is coming pretty soon. From there, you would figure out the time. For example, if it is summertime when you are doing the reading, it would not indicate that your desire will manifest in spring. The highest possibility is that it would manifest during Leo Season or the upcoming month.
Other times that is much easier than that because you are pulling the number “Two” it would mean in 2 days, in 2 weeks, or 2 months. In Tarot or any other divination works, it is rare to foretell the future in years because the choices we make along the way alter that future a lot.
