Love and Relationship (Reversed)

There are a lot of interpretations, when the two of wands appear reversed, in terms of a relationship.

Travelling is also hinted at through this Minor Arcana card, which means you or your partner wants to move overseas, but the other wants to stay. This can ultimately lead to a breakup. But there is also an alternative interpretation, which is of you feeling your partner is getting detached from you, this card coming up means that your partner wants to connect with you again. If you are single, you will have two options, one to stay single, or two, to get back with your ex.

Finance (Reversed)

The Two of Wands reversed tarot card is an indication to stay aware of your financial situation. Your financial situation is going to be somewhat unstable if this card shows up.

It means that whatever you had planned regarding your finances is not going as you want, which in turn can become a critical time for you.

Don’t make any investments or make a large purchase during this time. Instead, study your current situation and think about what you can do to improve your financial situation. This tarot card (reversed) suggests that you shall be successful in your efforts soon. The only thing you need is the right frame of mind and better understanding of the existing scenarios.

Career (Reversed)

Two of wands reversed can mean two different scenarios. The first is, that you have been planning a lot about what your future is going to look like and what are you going to do. But as the time has arrived when you have already set everything into motion and are waiting for the results, things are not going as planned. You are not liking the results of your hard work which is frustrating you. This could indicate that you must have missed analysing a point or two while planning, which has turned out to be the obstacle in your plan.

The other interpretation of this card coming up is that you have done your research thoroughly, made plans by considering everything, and there are no plot holes. But the thing that is holding you back from taking the step is your fear. You are too scared of the result. Try to let loose a little and stop overthinking. It is time to take the first step and just go for it because one cannot prevent every mishap, and failure is a part of life.

Health (Reversed)

The appearance of Two of Wands tarot card (reversed) when reading a health card means that two options should be taken under consideration while deciding on health and treatment. This, in simple words, means that there is other information that has not been revealed yet regarding your health and you need to listen to a second opinion, to fully evaluate the situation.

It could be that you already have a consultant and they have given you their opinion. But that should not be the only guide you follow as you choose the option. Try consulting with a different source, and equally think about both the things they have said. Only after thorough consideration of both opinions, go forward with the treatment. Moreover, the Two of Wands says that you must not act carelessly around things that give you not-so-good vibes as it may be true and might make you suffer from troubles (health-related) later.
