Step 3 of 8 · When to Wait, When to Move
2 of Swords
Why this step
Waiting also happens in the mind. The card names a hard decision between two real goods and says the work is choosing, not hunting for a third option. Its reversed reading describes analysis that has stopped adding clarity and only delays commitment. The tension starts here: the last two entries argued for waiting, and this one asks when waiting has become avoidance.
