This will help you better show up for your partner

November 19. Today, the reversed card "Two of Wands" fell out for you

The reversed Two of Wands weaves a tale of fear. This is fear of the unknown that stems from poor planning or lack of vision. So what does the card mean when it urges you to show up for your partner? It means that you should stop over-planning the future. Instead, fully arrive in the present moment with them. Yes, the card knows how much you love worrying about where your relationship is going. However, it’s time for you to let go of the need to control the long-term outcome. Just think ahead a few steps now. That will put less strain on your SO. 

When it comes to love, the reversed Two of Wands speaks of a person who is physically present but mentally distant. They are lost in their anxiety, trying to keep in mind all the “what ifs” of the future. Help them bridge that internal gap. Make them share their fears about the future instead of hoarding them. Start small, like making a small, doable plan for the next week instead of the next decade. Show your SO that you are emotionally present and that they have your undivided attention.  

The reversed Two of Wands as a feeling is that restless anxiety that comes when you stand at a crossroads yet are too afraid to choose the path. Your energy is getting scattered in dozens of directions. You are left drained and paralyzed. Yes, this is what is happening to your partner right now. Make sure to show them that whichever path they choose, you’ll walk it with them.  

As for a yes or no, the upside-down Two of Wands is more inclined to say yes. “Yes, you should show up for your partner. This will improve your relationship.” And why wouldn’t it? Shifting your focus from controlling the future to investing in the present is exactly the thing you both need to release that anxiety.  After all, the greatest gift you can give your SO is not a promised tomorrow, but a fully engaged today.
