What does The Two of Wands tarot card mean?

The Two of Wands reveals itself as your life begins to fall into place.

Unlike the Ace of Wands which indicates it is time for you to trust your intuition and rediscover yourself, the Two of Wands tarot card tells you it's time to place your future in your own hands.

When this card is dealt upright, you are ready to put your plans into action.

It’s time for that idea you’ve been mulling over to be put aside as you set out to achieve it.

You’re beginning to understand your long-term plan, and you are ready to move forward and take new and exciting risks.

Almost in distinct opposition, the reversed Two of Wands card suggests you need to formulate a long-term plan for your life.

It’s time to ask yourself what is important to you and what you value or anticipate for your future.

The Two of Wands tells you to put together a plan that will get you to that place of peace and happiness.

This card says you’re impatient with your goals and aspirations, and you’re showing overconfidence in what the future holds.

If you don’t begin to reel in your emotions, this card suggests you may feel a sense of disarray in your path moving forward.

What does The Two of Wands tarot card look like?

The Two of Wands card is part of the major arcana deck, and like all other tarot cards, each aspect of the card symbolizes what is considered important.

The man holding the globe signifies that he has the world in his hands and can achieve anything he wants.

It represents his readiness to pursue his ambitions, but upon closer inspection, you'll notice he remains within the confines of his castle which reflects his hesitance to leave his comfort zone.

The land in the background shows a mountainous terrain as a symbol of the endless possibilities, albeit with challenges; if he only reaches out to grab them.

This tarot card aligns with the Aries star sign as their confident and passionate nature leads them to a fulfilled future.

This card reflects the relentless determination of the Aries who prefer always to have a plan.
