The Valley of the Lambs Tarot

Two of Wands

A lamb in lordly attire stands on his castle walls, overlooking his vast domain and gazing at the distant ocean. Holding a globe-like sphere in his right hand and resting his left hand on a wand, the other wand is secured to the wall with an iron ring. The crossed white lilies and red roses on the wall symbolize the balance between pure thoughts and passion.

Upright Meaning

The lordly lamb’s gaze is complex; he appears to survey his impressive domain while also studying the globe, pondering and planning. Standing at the top of the world, he still experiences a sense of melancholy. The Two of Wands reflects both success and emptiness, representing decisions, typically physical ones like moving, changing jobs, or making concrete life changes. It symbolizes the evaluation of choices before action, representing a choice between familiar things and desired things.

Keywords: Authority, courage, planning, decision, choice

Reversed Meaning

Reversed, the Two of Wands indicates a loss of power and courage, resulting in poor planning and unsuccessful outcomes. The lamb might feel frustrated and dissatisfied but is afraid to face new challenges. Conversely, it can also mean that the lamb has finally decided to stop contemplating and take the next step. Prolonged hesitation in a familiar environment might stem from an unwillingness to take responsibility for one’s actions, often forcing life to change.

Keywords: Confinement, frustration, idle talk, waiting, dissatisfaction
