Two of Wands Description and Symbolism

A man stands looking out to the sea. He is holding a globe in one hand and a wand in the other. The second wand is bolted to the ground. He cannot move it. The wands seem a little unstable as both of them need help standing. These wands are not firmly rooted in the ground. The man is facing the sea and the mountains, as if he is surveying more territory he would like to conquer. This indicates that he has a vision that he wants to pursue.

Both the globe and the two wands are reminiscent of the Emperor’s ankh staff and his orb. The gives the man depicted in the Two of Wands a king like quality. It is no coincidence that Aries rules both the Two of Wands and The Emperor.

The orb was often used in coronation ceremonies that would grant the monarch rulership over his kingdom. The man in our Two of Wands depicts rulership, dominion, and authority over his empire.

The globe is round and fertile, which infers nurturing an idea. The globe is symbolic of having “all the world at your fingertips.”

In relationship to the Tree of Life, fire is at home in Chokmah/Wisdom. We have stable and wise energy.

 

Two of Wands Astrology: Mars in Aries

The Two of Wands encompasses the number two, fire, the planet Mars and the sun sign Aries. This is a good combination of elements. Every one of them is happy. Mars rules over Aries, so we have a natural allegiance for this card. Wands symbolize fire and this completely complements Aries and Mars’ fiery nature. The Two of Wands really gets the ball rolling in the most productive way. This guy knows what he’s doing, he just may need some time to think and reflect about it. He’s in the part of the story where he is writing the end of the business plan and about to make a decision about his next move. Some of the tasks have already been implemented. Here is a picture of a man who has a solid to do list.

 

Two of Wands Interpretation and Divination

The Two of Wands is a moment of pause and reflection. You are unsure about someone or something. You most likely have two roads you can go down. What makes this decision hard is that both decisions are good.

You could be preparing for a journey, partnership or acquisition. You have applied the raw power, you just need to make a decision and go. This card comes right after the aces. Now that you’ve realized that you have the power to do something, you are cautiously preparing for it, whether it is writing the plan, organizing the team, designing a new home or even redecorating.

The Two of Wands may indicate real estate. You could be in the process of looking for houses or new property to buy. There is a likely chance that this will be an investment home. You might be thinking about rent a basement apartment or knowing that the equity will send your kids to college. The fire in the Two of Wands definitely indicates foreign property or traveling somewhere exotic. You have many options, but you are being careful. You prefer to think things through before making major financial decisions.
