78 doors: a few words about the deck

Each leads to a certain point of fate, and looking through several doors, you can see a whole piece of life's canvas. Therefore, Tarot card layouts have always been in demand and not only magic professionals are actively using the deck until now.services.
If you give a brief description of the cards, it must be noted that the deck is divided into two groups. They are called arcana and are divided into senior and junior. There are only twenty-two major arcana, fifty-six cards fall into the second group.
Since we are interested in 2 of Wands, we will consider the minor arcana, to which this card belongs. The group has four suits, which correspond to all known elements: fire, water, earth and air. Each element patronizes fourteen cards, among them are numerical and court cards. When interpreting the alignment, all the nuances of the dropped cards are considered: element, number or picture, as well as a combination with other cards.
Newbies often complain that it is the number cards that are the most difficult to determine. Since knowledge is required here not only about the Tarot, but also from the field of numerology. Only then will the alignment be read correctly.
The Two of Wands in Tarot symbolizes fire. It is not uncommon for mages to refer to Wands as Staves or Scepters. Therefore, do not be surprised if you hear exactly this name of the card that fell out in the layout. In any case, it is correct, and the value of the 2 of Wands does not change from this.
External map description
Throughout the history of the existence of the Tarot, there are several interpretations of the images of the deck. The Two of Wands in the Tarot has changed its picture more than once, but its meaning has always remained unchanged. Any artist depicted a man at the top of the tower, who looks over his possessions from a height. It's worth itbetween two staffs, and in his hand he holds a kind of globe. Interestingly, in one of the interpretations, a beautiful woman was depicted on the card. The description said that she was expecting her husband - a rich lord - from the war. Anxiety and melancholy were read in its silhouette, but the card was devoid of feelings of hopelessness and inaction. Rather, on the contrary, the lady is ready for action and at the moment is making a clear plan.
Another artist drew on the Tarot card a deuce of Wands of a senior, invested with power and in full military uniform. From him it breathes power and strength, which the card denotes in many layouts. Moreover, it is interesting that the seigneur himself is turned to face the fortune-tellers. He seems to have already made a decision and is ready to act. He is only one step away from descending the tower and rushing into battle.
In a modern interpretation, the map looks more than familiar. It depicts a middle-aged man of high birth. He enjoys watching his achievements from the height of the tower. The picture he sees awakens a lot of emotions in him. With one hand, the man holds on to a staff, and in the other he holds a model of the globe. This seems to indicate that he is already ready for new achievements and there are no obstacles for him in achieving his goal.
On the one hand, the card symbolizes the understanding that man has already achieved all the material goods of the world. But at the same time, he seems to deny them and is ready to start all over again, which means that both obstacles and achievements await him on this path. It is likely that they can become more significant thanprevious.
Most of the magicians believe that the two of Wands in the Tarot deck is one of the most controversial cards. It carries both the potential for new beginnings and a certain apathy. This is the duality of the map and its complexity for interpretation. But we will talk about this a little later.
The main ideas of the deuce
Beginners who have just begun to study the meanings of the Tarot deck need to accept some idea of each card. Usually it can be distinguished in the form of keywords and concepts. Then the general picture of the meaning will become visible, from which a clearer interpretation in the layout is built in the future.
If we are talking about the Two of Wands (Tarot), then such a description as new opportunities, achievements, vanity, ambition and the study of prospects suits her. In a slightly more expanded form, the card carries a certain balance of power, balance and self-control. Its key idea can be called reflections on the need to move forward. That is, the time to move has not yet come, but it is no longer possible to rest on our laurels. The card seems to make everything weigh and change the neutral position to a more active one. Often falling out in the layout as the card of the day, the two of Wands (Tarot) speaks of the need to make an immediate decision or, conversely, in combination with another card, it stops from recklessness, giving time to think and work out a plan.
Card Feature
First of all, when the two of Wands fall out in the layout, you need to think about the choice that fate provides. Looking at the map withfrom the point of view of its main characters, one can say the following:
- she is associated with society and relationships;
- the element of fire reveals it as a message to move;

Let's talk about the general meaning
The meaning of the two of Tarot Wands has a very deep meaning and is not always immediately available for understanding because of its multi-layered nature.
First of all, it portends major changes and achievements. If you are interested in business matters, then be sure that the card promises success. But only when using all your abilities, skills and abilities. The main thing is not to forget about perseverance and patience. The map highlights these two characteristics.
The two of Wands, which often fell out in a layout, describes the internal state of a person. She shows that he is very smart, has talents and a penchant for the sciences, but does not always get along well with his surroundings. ATthe moment of divination he is possessed by conflicting feelings and emotions. He is in a situation where a choice must be made, but there is no perfect solution. Therefore, a person tends to hide from others and observe the situation, abstracting from it.
Perhaps it is this position that causes laziness and inaction. They lead to problems, since the person at the top, reveling in his power and inner torment, completely forgets about his loved ones. At this moment, his relationship fails, but he does not notice this, considering all the signs of impending trouble to be imaginary. With this approach, isolation can be prolonged, so the 2 of Wands requires you to breathe new life and boldly move forward, turning your thoughts into clear beliefs.
The essence of the meaning of the card
When this card appears, we can talk about a test. It is a difficult decision that a person must make. But until that moment, he will have to form an idea and transform it from the realm of images into something real. This process is far from being possible for every person, since it is very energy-consuming.
That is, on the one hand, the card means a forced stop for reflection and awareness of needs. On the other hand, it directly points to the need to act in spite of difficulties and resistance from outside. At the same time, it is difficult to predict what awaits a person on his way. He may be able to succeed, but there is also a high probability of getting disappointed and experiencing a complete collapse.
Direct arrangement in layout
Fortune tellers always pay attention toexactly how the card fell. Indeed, from its location in the layout, sometimes the meaning changes beyond recognition. If it fell out in direct form, then even in combination, the two of Wands (Tarot) with other cards will denote courage, determination and recklessness. Many fortune tellers say that it symbolizes the upcoming struggle for their ideals. There are likely obstacles and trials ahead, but any risk will justify itself and bring good results.
Direct alignment indicates the need to react quickly and not calculate the possible outcome. If you are in some kind of isolation or are thinking about certain events, then you should completely change your attitude to the situation and act right now in spite of everything.
However, it is worth remembering that any efforts should be directed towards creation. Only then will they bear fruit, and any obstacles will seem insignificant.
Reversed position in the layout
If you get an inverted two of Wands from the Tarot deck, it means that fate has prepared changes for you, but you doubt that you can go all the way. You lack confidence, and the upcoming changes are more frightening than they bring joy. A dropped deuce inverted may mean that a person is afraid of the future, but is afraid even to admit it to himself. Therefore, he experiences strong negative emotions towards those who are more successful and openly move towards change.
In general, the inverted 2 Staves, or Wands, is not a very positive and constructive sign. She isforces a person to face their fears and see themselves without embellishment.
Love and relationships
For a love relationship, the deuce of Tarot Wands is far from the most favorable card. Since its very essence testifies to a certain isolation and loneliness. According to the laws of the universe, only one person can be at the top. And there is no place for attachments or love passions.
If you make a deal for a loved one, then the card that has fallen out will tell you about the upcoming check. It can relate to the relationship in general or affect only your partner. It is also quite likely that the struggle of two close people among themselves. In this sense, power, money, position in society are implied. Perhaps your loved one will suddenly become your rival at work or rise to a higher social level, which will affect you very deeply.
When in love layouts the card falls upside down, it symbolizes doubts. They lie in the fact that a person constantly experiences difficulties in communicating with the opposite sex, and therefore considers himself unattractive. In addition, the deuce of Staves reveals the deceit that the person conceived by making some promises. Moreover, all of them are caused by the thirst for profit and the desire to gain benefits. However, guided by these intentions, a person loses himself and his inner core.
Business area: map meaning
In the layouts for business, the deuce of Staffs also means change. She says that your daily activities do not carryno prospects. You will not be able to take the lead and make the profit you dream of. Therefore, now is the time to start looking for a new place or try to open your own business. Fate will be favorable to you, and you will make full use of the chance.
If a person does not listen to fortune-telling and does not take action to change his life, then soon he will be overtaken by complete apathy to what is happening and depression.
Meaning of the card in combinations
The combination of Tarot cards with the two of Wands can give a completely unexpected result and push you to a complete change in your destiny. For example, falling out with Lovers indicates infidelity in a relationship. Moreover, this can concern both the fortuneteller himself and his partner. But in combination with the Three of Swords, the Two of Staves is a clear recommendation to break the relationship that is being de alt with.
Interesting combination with the 9 of Wands. Together, the cards speak of the birth of inspiration. Two of the 9 of Wands promises a creative upsurge in all areas of life.
If the deuce fell out with the Empress, then it is time to think carefully about what is happening. To do this, you can go away or just be alone, but in any case, a thorough analysis of the current life situation is necessary.
But the Emperor paired with 2 Staves means the need to refuse to make a decision. Even if you are clearly forced to take a certain position, then refuse. Any choice will be bad and will bring a lot of trouble. Do you feel betterremain neutral until the problem is fully resolved.
The Jester and the two of Staves promise to reach the heights, but at the very end of the path you will realize that they were ghostly and not worth the effort. Therefore, stop if you see this combination in the layout.
The Tower amplifies the negative value of 2 Staves. This is especially readable in its inverted form. Fortunetellers are advised to abandon any enterprise if both of these cards lay side by side. Regardless of the predictions, they will bring bad luck.
