A key aspect of reading your own tarot is interpreting cards. For a beginner interpreting a single card can be fine, as there are plenty of resources to help you out, however interpreting two or more can be very tricky.
However, if you have been practising single card readings for a while a 2 card spread will be a great introduction into reading multiple cards.

The meaning of the cards will depend on what kind of reading you are doing and the question you asked the deck. This is a guide covering the general meanings of the cards and how they relate to each other.
Common 2-card spreads
Whilst it’s great to know who these two cards interact with each other, it’s important to note that the meaning will depend on the context of your spread
The most common 2 card spreads I recommend to newer readers are:
- The 2 card cross (otherwise known as “The Fool’s Journey”)
- The 2 card “Yes or No”
“The Fool’s Journey”
Setup: The two card cross is where you place two cards face up, one placed vertically and with one laying horizontally over
Interpretation: The 2 cards represent a “situation” and a “challenge”. The first card will describe the situation you are in with the second horizontal card being the “challenge” crossing you (literally crossing you in this case!)
Reading: Using the overviews in this guide is a great way to start. First, look at the meanings of the 2 cards, and see how they might relate either as your “situation” or “challenge”. Once you have that you can look at the general overview for how the two cards interact with each other.
The benefit of this spread is that it can give clarity when you’re feeling uncertain or anxious. Once you have clarity of thought, and a strong idea of what your challenge is you can find solutions to help your situation
The 2 card “Yes or No”
Setup: The 2 card “Yes or No” is where you place two cards face up side by side, whilst asking your deck a “yes or no” question.
Interpretation: Each card in a tarot deck has a “yes” or a “no” meaning. Look at the meanings of each card, and you will have your answer.
The benefit of this is you get a stronger yes or no compared to a single card draw. You may find you often get a mix of “yes or no”, and this is fine. It simply means there is doubt, or things are not yet clear.
Yes or No meaning
Things are a bit tricky for this combination, as Ace Of Wands and 9 Of Swords mean different things. The cards are unsure about your question, or the answer to the question has not yet been decided.
The “Yes” and “No” meanings can differ from reader to reader. The meanings here are based on what I believe are the generally accepted definitions.

What does 9 Of Swords mean?
Health
The 9 of Swords Tarot card represents nightmares, anxiety, grief, and depression, all of which can have a debilitating effect on physical health. Nightmares can cause physical exhaustion, which can lead to regular fatigue, physical pain, and a weakened immune system. Anxiety can cause headaches, chest pains, stomachaches, and difficulty breathing. People who are in a state of grief or depression can lack motivation and energy, leading to decreased physical activity, skipped meals, and unsound sleep habits.
Finances
The 9 of Swords Tarot card implies a period of financial hardship due to insecurity and fear. When people are in a state of psychological distress, they may become overwhelmed with worry and fear, making them prone to reckless or impulsive spending. With stress and depression, people tend to put their own needs and wants aside, leading to neglect of important financial matters like paying bills. Finally, depression and lack of motivation can disrupt work life, leading to a decline in job performance and potential lost opportunities.
Relationships
The 9 of Swords Tarot card signifies a period of discord in personal relationships. People in a state of depression may withdraw from their relationships and become less attentive to the people they care about. This can cause hurt feelings and resentment, leading to a breakdown of communication. Anxiety and depression can also lead to irrational responses and arguments with friends and loved ones, further hindering the relationship. Finally, people in a state of grief can become overwhelmed with self-pity, and become unable to focus on those important to them.
Conclusion
Understanding how the meaning of a reading changes once you start involving more than one card can be tricky. This will come with time and practice, however I hope this guide on what your cards might be telling you when you draw Ace Of Wands and 9 Of Swords has helped you.
