The essential meanings of this Minor Arcana card from the Rider-Waite-Smith deck.

Upright: The Two of Wands upright is about planning and making decisions for the future. It shows that you have initial success or inspiration (from the Ace) and now you're looking out at the possibilities, considering the long-term path. This card encourages strategic thinking, exploring your options, and perhaps stepping out of your comfort zone to expand your horizons. It’s a sign of ambition and the need to make choices that align with your goals.

Reversed: The Two of Wands reversed indicates indecision or fear of change. You might be hesitating to move beyond your familiar surroundings or feeling uncertain about which opportunity to pursue. It can also suggest poor planning or overanalysing that leads to stagnation. The reversed Two of Wands urges you to trust yourself – at some point, you must choose a direction. Avoid getting stuck in doubt; even a small step forward will provide more clarity.
