February asks you to resist the temptation to force things prematurely. The Two of Swords reminds you that some decisions require more thought.
This month, look at your options carefully and with curiosity. In moments when you feel an urgency to make a decision, ask yourself: Why do I feel this urgent need? What is at stake that depends on this immediate decision?
Singles: The Two of Swords brings a particular energy this month. You may find yourself torn between two people you are interested in. Or you may be debating internally whether you are really ready for a relationship or if you prefer to continue prioritizing yourself.
Couples: For those in a relationship, the month of love may bring some challenges. Some couples will experience communication challenges, creating misunderstandings. Others will encounter situations where their points of view clash.
The key will be to understand how to adapt both perspectives and not fight over who is right.
February may bring some doubts about which career path to follow. Two job offers will be on the table, so it will be an internal debate whether or not to stay in your current position or venture into something new.
Finances: During this month, the temptation to shop, considering it “therapy,” could put you in a bind. The Two of Swords appears when there are important monetary decisions that should not be taken lightly. Therefore, February calls for caution. Create detailed lists of pros and cons for any important financial decisions.
This month, mental health takes priority. Look for activities that calm your mind. Five minutes a day of conscious breathing can make a big difference in helping you refocus. This card also warns against rushing into drastic changes related to your physical appearance. Extreme decisions are not welcome under the energy of the Two of Swords.
Guidance for this Month
February gives you the opportunity to take your time to decide carefully and conscientiously. Remember that not all decisions need to be made now, and trust that some of your best decisions were made because you took the time to make them.
