The "Twos" in the Tarot Deck generally concern
        aspects of duality - such as communication, dialogue, relationships,
        and the balancing of opposites. 
        In many decks (including, for example Rider-Waite and Robin
            Wood) the Two of Wands depicts
          a figure watching and waiting. This may be why the theme of this card
            is often described in terms of the need to watch and observe in preparation
            for a new business or other enterprise - this can be thought of as
            "responsible research". 
        This card may invite the seeker to take stock of his/her situation,
           resources available (personality, finances, connections, knowledge,
          skills, and so on), and how best they may be used. Especially in the
          cases of the Rider Waite and Robin Wood Decks which include an image
          of a figure holding a globe in his right hand, some readers interpret
          The Two of Wands as holding the whole world in one's hands. That is
          - it may suggest that that there is freedom to make our own choices.
