There is a lot of power in this card. It encourages you to get in touch with your inner power, your power to choose, your right to live your life according to your rules and your great potential to be able to counsel others based on your own experiences. What do you have to teach those around you? Which lessons can you utilise in order to make a transition smoother for someone going through a similar issue? Do you trust your own advice? Do you advise yourself enough or are you always directed by others? Why might this be? Do you fear having no one to blame but yourself? Do you recognise that motive as an unhealthy one?
Sometimes this card appears when a querent may feel trapped, pressured or overwhelmed by the opposing wills of other people. Its presence encourages them to consider what they themselves believe and tune into their own ideas instead of absorbing quite so many outside influences. I've always felt that the Two of Wands can sometimes point towards an 'aim to please' personality type - someone who wants to do the right thing by everyone all the time, and so finds themselves unable to progress in the way they want to. Wands are the suit of spirit, drive, passion, energy and the core self. When we lose touch with who we are and what we want, we suffer. A card from the suit of Wands may be asking you to ground yourself and become one with your own needs, pushing other people's insistence and pressure into the background. Teaching is a strong theme. Sometimes the card denotes a person whose inner teacher is coming to the surface - someone who finally recognises their own ability to impart knowledge and wisdom to others. At other times, it represents a chance to be taught something valuable by someone else. Either way, often this card has arrived to remind you of one thing: with great power comes great responsibility.
