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 9 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 often associated with good health, abundance, fertility and parenting. For pregnant women, The Empress can represent the creation of new life and the nurturing of new life. The Empress can also represent financial abundance and success. In relationships, The Empress can represent the need for patience, compassion and understanding.

What does 9 Of Wands mean?

Health: The 9 of Wands Tarot card means that you need to take care of your health and maintain boundaries in order to stay healthy. It is important to eat healthy foods, exercise regularly, and get enough rest. You may need to cut back on alcohol or caffeine in order to maintain your health.

Finances: The 9 of Wands Tarot card means that you need to be persistant in order to financial success. You may need to work hard and make sacrifices in order to achieve your financial goals. You may need to be disciplined with your spending in order to stay on track.

Relationships: The 9 of Wands Tarot card means that you need to maintain boundaries in your relationships. It is important to communicate your needs and boundaries to your partner. You may need to set aside time for your relationship in order to keep it strong.

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 The Empress and 9 Of Wands has helped you.
