While the Aces symbolise potential and new beginnings, the Twos in the Tarot relate to the need to strive for balance.
A solitary spark has evolved into duality.
Duality creates opposites and choices, which are reflected in partnerships, decision-making, planning and multi-tasking.
The High Priestess in the Major Arcana quietly watches over the Twos of the suits and influences them in a subtle way.
The underlying message of all the Twos is the need to follow your gut instinct to a certain extent in order to move forward from a perpetual balancing act.
Two of Wands - planning, risk-taking, making preparations, collaboration at work, travel, seizing an opportunity, seeking a new adventure, restlessness, investing for growth.
