Using Two of Wands in a three-card reading

Read the card’s theme alongside its position. In “Where you are”, consider whether it describes something you recognize. In “What deserves attention”, use the reflection question to examine an assumption. In “A possible way forward”, consider whether its suggested action would be useful in your situation.

The card is a prompt, not evidence about your future or another person. You can set aside an interpretation that does not fit. This library covers upright meanings; it does not provide a separate reversed interpretation.
