Wigglestick oh wigglestick answer me this: After 4weeks of lazy trench digging I've gotten around to completing a fairly whimsical footpath entrance to my backyard granny flat. Then today a friendly landscaper has offered a sweet deal to replace it with sturdier pavers suitable for an elder’s walker. What should I do? A time to commit to wiggly hobbling fun or to invest in reliable stewardship for generations to come? Surprise me out of this classic binary quandary of our time ..

Manifestation, financial opportunity, skill development.
Two of Swords
Difficult decisions, weighing up options, an impasse, avoidance
Tough to weigh up the two options before you,
Blindfolded, binary crossing, confused.
Behind you, the water, the night, and the moon:
Signs your subconscious intuits the truth.A deal that’s this sweet? You refusing this offer?
Everyone, someday: in need of a walker.
Trenching’s a skill you can transfer; hold onta’…
But what’s in your dreams? Is it whimsy? Or profit?
Another possibility suggested by the “impasse” of the Two of Swords might be that they’re equally good options and you should just choose both. Two swords, two “passes” to the granny flat. If I was you I’d find it real painful to erase good work done and negate sweat spent.
But yes, as the Tarot often likes to do, it’s answered your question with “You already know the answer… just stop avoiding it.” (Which could go either way from my perspective.)
Let me know what you think!
And meanwhile, dear reader: do you have a question? Leave a comment! I’ll try to answer every single query posed.
It strikes me this could be a fun way for both of us to learn Tarot, y’all. Why not sign up for updates?
Yeah that resonates well, Wiggle. The Two of Swords shows there is more moon mystery hidden behind the conflict. Cool to have the moon energy embodied by Page of Pentacles -Financial Opportunity?! Hmmm. Leaving the door ajar for airbnb, VRBO, cool house sitters ready to help with rent? Considering now mutual paths made for Walkers and Fairies
