Drawing The Empress Card And 2 Of Wands Tarot Cards Together | What Do They Mean When Together? | A Complete Guide

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.

As you’ve found this page, you’re probably wondering how to interpret the The Empress card and 2 Of Wands card together in particular.

The The Empress card and 2 Of Wands have unique qualities and will interact with each other in different ways depending on what kind of reading you are doing.

What does The Empress and 2 Of Wands mean together?

The Empress tarot card is all about creation and fertility, while The 2 of Wands is about waiting for results and making choices. Together, these two cards suggest that you may be considering starting a family or expanding your current family. This is a time of abundance and fertility, so if you are thinking about starting a family, now is a good time to do so. However, you will need to be patient and make sure that you are making the right choices before you take any action. The Empress tarot card also suggests that you may be pregnant or about to become pregnant. If you are, then this is a time of great joy and expectation. Be sure to take care of yourself during this time and listen to your body. The 2 of Wands tarot card suggests that you may be considering traveling soon. This is a good time to do so, as you will be able to see new places and experience new cultures. Just be sure to plan your trip carefully and don’t take any unnecessary risks.

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 The Empress and 2 Of Wands 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 The Empress mean?

The Empress Tarot card is a very positive card when it comes to health. It suggests that you are in good health and have plenty of energy. This is a good time to start a new diet or exercise regime, as you will have the stamina to stick to it. The Empress also indicates that you are fertile and able to conceive, so if you are hoping to start a family, now is a good time to try.

This is a good time to invest in property or long-term savings. In relationships, The Empress signifies harmony and bliss. If you are single, you may meet your ideal partner now. If you are in a relationship, it will be a happy and supportive one.

What does 2 Of Wands mean?

Health: The 2 of Wands Tarot card means that you are waiting for results, make a choice, and have travel plans. This suggests that your health is generally good, but you may have some minor health concerns that you are currently addressing. These health concerns are likely to be resolved soon, and you should feel generally healthy and fit.
