Two of Swords
stalemateavoidancetrucechoice
Upright
The decision is being held in suspension on purpose.
The temporary truce is useful, but it is temporary.
Refusing to choose protects you from a wrong answer and also from any answer.
Gather the two facts that would settle this, then decide.
Neutrality here is a position, not an absence.
Reversed
The standoff is breaking and the choice can no longer be postponed.
Something you avoided is now visible and demands a response.
Pressure from outside will force a decision if you do not make one.
Choose the lesser loss deliberately.
Stop pretending both options are equally fine.
Original Chinese reading
Upright: 僵持、回避抉择、暂时平衡
Reversed: 打破僵局、被迫面对、信息浮现
