What does Two of Wands reversed mean?

Fear of leaving what works. Planning that never becomes movement.

Or plans made without the information to make them, which is the opposite failure and produces a confident decision about a place nobody has visited.

The commonest reading is playing small: an ambition scaled down until it is safe, described afterwards as realism.

Long-range planning, weighing options, deciding to expand.

You have proved the concept. Now choose a direction and commit resources to it, which is the step this card describes and the one that gets deferred.

In an advice position it favours the larger world over the comfortable one, and it is honest that the comfortable one is genuinely comfortable. This is not a card about escaping something bad.

Upright: planning, ambition, decision, expansion, foresight

Reversed: playing safe, indecision, poor planning, fear of change

• What am I staying with because it works, not because I want it?
• What does the version of this that scares me look like?
