The figure stands blindfolded, swords crossed, suspended in a moment of stillness. Above, an alien ship hums, a reminder that decisions are not only of this world but ripple outward into the unknown. At her side, Bonnie the cockatoo tilts her head, feathers slightly raised, watching carefully.
Bonnie reminds us that indecision is not weakness—it is part of the process of weighing truth. A cockatoo does not leap without first testing the branch beneath her claws. She whispers that the blindfold is not a punishment, but a tool: when vision is obscured, the heart and intuition have space to speak.
Her advice is simple:
• Listen inwardly. The noise of swords clashing and ships hovering can drown out your own knowing. Trust the quiet voice that rises when you sit still.
• Do not fear the pause. Just as Bonnie pauses before taking flight, you too can take time. Action made in haste often tangles the wings.
• Balance requires patience. Two swords cannot be swung at once without harm. Allow the scales to settle before choosing a direction.
The Two of Swords is not about finding the “right” answer immediately, but about allowing clarity to unfold. Bonnie urges you to remember: silence and stillness can be a form of wisdom.
