As a card of decisions, the Two of Wands may indicate that you’re facing a choice related to your love life.

If you’re in an LTR, you may be facing a change to the structure of the relationship itself. Perhaps you’re considering “next steps,” such as cohabitation, marriage, a baby—but you’re also feeling outside pressure to move in a direction that doesn’t 100% suit your soul. The Two of Wands urges you to slow down. Make this choice with thoughtfulness and patience rather than rushing into anything that comes with great responsibility. As you relax, a creative solution may emerge.
