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 Magician card and 2 Of Swords card together in particular.

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

What does The Magician and 2 Of Swords mean together?

The Magician is all about focused creativity and taking action to turn your visions into reality. The 2 of Swords is about compromising and making decisions. When these two cards come together, it means it’s time to focus your creative energy on making a decision that will benefit your health and relationship. This could be something as simple as deciding to eat healthier or exercise more, or it could be a more difficult decision like deciding to end a toxic relationship. Either way, it’s important to listen to your heart and intuition and make the best decision for yourself.

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 Magician and 2 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 The Magician mean?

For health, The Magician Tarot card means that you have the power to heal yourself. You are the creator of your own reality, and you have the ability to manifest your desires into reality. If you focus your energy on positive thoughts and actions, you will be able to create a healthy and prosperous life for yourself.

For finances, The Magician Tarot card means that you have the power to create your own financial success. You are in control of your own destiny, and you have the ability to manifest your desires into reality. If you focus your energy on positive thoughts and actions, you will be able to create a financially prosperous life for yourself.

For relationships, The Magician Tarot card means that you have the power to create the relationship of your dreams. You are in control of your own destiny, and you have the ability to manifest your desires into reality. If you focus your energy on positive thoughts and actions, you will be able to create a healthy and loving relationship with your partner.

What does 2 Of Swords mean?

When The 2 Of Swords Tarot card appears in a reading, it generally signifies a need for balance and harmony in one’s life. This may be needed in regards to one’s health, finances or relationships. In terms of health, The 2 Of Swords Tarot card suggests that now is the time to find a balance between work and rest, activity and relaxation. It is also a good time to reflect on one’s eating habits and make necessary changes in order to maintain good health. Financially, The 2 Of Swords Tarot card indicates that it is time to take a close look at one’s budget and make adjustments where needed. This may require making some difficult choices, but it is important to find a balance between spending and saving. In terms of relationships, The 2 Of Swords Tarot card suggests that now is the time to find a middle ground between giving and taking. It is also important to be honest with oneself and others in order to create and maintain healthy relationships.

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 Magician and 2 Of Swords has helped you.
