2♠ - Two of Spades
the card of friendship
The 2♠ is the card of business partnership and friendship. Fears are generally characteristic of the Twos, especially the fear of being left alone. And the 2♠ is no exception. Many people with this Birth Card are willing to do anything to maintain company. They are particularly deeply hurt by the betrayal of friendship or trust. The Karmic Card of the Spade Two is the Six of Spades, one of the most powerful Karmic Cards, giving the fate of the 2♠ a special fatality. Due to its influence, the life of the Spade Twos periodically enters a well-trodden rut, from which it is very difficult to get out. The same impact brings health problems; however, the majority of the Spade Twos are not prone to bad habits, which helps them resist illness.
The double connection of the 2♠ with Uranus in the Main Spiritual Set indicates that representatives of this card are gifted with great intuition. But to realize this potential, the Spade Two must be genuinely interested in the spiritual side of life; and Spade cards, as a rule, ignore it in favor of professional or career interests.
The Spade Twos are distinguished by good mental abilities and developed logic. These qualities contribute to success at work, but in personal relationships they can sometimes be an obstacle. Many Spade Twos are so absorbed in work and fascinated by the power of their own logical mind that they try their best to avoid situations associated with trials in these areas, and marriage relationships are among such situations. The Spade Twos are very talented and capable of achieving a lot in social life, but the Three of Hearts as the Pluto Card indicates the skeptical and indecisive attitude of these people towards love relationships in particular and towards anything that could disrupt the usual way of their life in general. But in general, the life path of the Spade Twos is smoother than that of most cards, and people with this Birth Card do not allow themselves to become lazy and relax in vain. They often marry for money.
Many Spade Twos achieve fame and even glory in life. Men born under the influence of this card achieve particularly notable successes and often find themselves in leadership positions. The Clover as their second Karmic Card indicates the innate leadership abilities that very easily and naturally manifest themselves in the right situation.
If the 2♠ turns to the spiritual side of life, it will show great progressivity, flexibility and efficiency in work to harmonize the surrounding world. This is the card of cooperation and brotherly love - the card of the Aquarian Age, which humanity is currently entering. In this respect, the Spade Two can serve as a model of friendship, which will be destined to determine the relations between people for the next 2000 years.
The Spade Twos have perhaps the best "marriage karma" among all the cards in the deck. But they enter into a happy marriage, as a rule, in the second half of life - after resolving the problem associated with indecision and fear of love relationships. Often their love life is based on alternating attraction and repulsion. They either let the partner get close to themselves, or push him away, afraid of excessive closeness. The 2♠ is an extremely logical card, which is also reflected in its ideas about love. People with this Birth Card analyze various concepts related to married life and try to develop some logical conclusions that allow them to guide their relationship with their partner. But in reality, love life is the realm of emotions, and the Spade Twos tend to neglect emotional issues.
The good karma of the Spade Twos is explained by the fact that in their past incarnations these people were generous with their partners, and now it is time for them to reap the fruits of this selflessness. The Spade Twos are excellent husbands and wives, they are faithful and devoted to their spouse. In their love life, there may be long periods of calm, but the Spade Twos should blame only themselves for this. Fears and doubts often prevent them from starting new romantic relationships, and work on their emotional problems can help here.
The main culprit of the indecision of these people in matters of love and marriage is the 3♥ as the Pluto Card. The Spade Twos too often try to rationally "calculate" love and marriage - and as a result begin to "walk in circles", not understanding that all their disappointments are caused by an inner fear of the future. In other cases, the 3♥ simply repels their chances of a happy love. And again, the Spade Twos do not realize this, since they pay too much attention to the rationalistic left hemisphere of the brain.
The Spade Two-men are happy with the Hearts women. All 2♠ strike up an excellent friendship with the Clubs women. The Spade Two-women dream of love with men of their own suit, but they are attracted rather by the Diamond men. And the Clubs men often consider the conquest of the Spade Two-women a worthy task.
As a classic example of the Two of Spades, I would like to cite a person who was born on May 4 and fits perfectly into the type of hardworking and rationalistic person that most people with this Birth Card are. This person is a programmer who has achieved great success in his profession. He works for one of the thriving computer game production companies. Florence Campbell in "The Sacred Symbols of the Ancients" writes that all Twos, as a rule, are afraid of loneliness. Our Birth Card, like the sun sign in astrology, represents the energy that we tend to almost completely identify with our personality. Therefore, Twos usually consider themselves half of a partner pair - in contrast to the Aces, to some extent perceiving themselves as individualists and loners.
One of the most important values in the life of the Two of Spades is friendship - both with men and with women. They prefer to work together with other people. Even when alone, they constantly talk on the phone with friends. Almost always there is someone from their friends in their home or they themselves sit as guests at their friends' place. The Two of Spades spends a lot of effort to have time to do all the joint things with other people. Friendship is much more important to them than to the average person. For the Spade Twos, friendship means joint activities, and not just communication or business, as in the case of the Two of Clubs or the Two of Diamonds. In the field of love relationships, everything is somewhat different. It happens that the Two of Spades is already almost ready to get married, but does not reach the altar. Either he is attracted to women who do not want to marry him, or he himself does not want to tie his life with them. Despite all his powerful logical mind, the Two of Spades often finds it difficult to make a final decision on the issue of love and marriage.
The strong point of the Spade Twos is that they are the best friends in the world. All of Paul's friends love and value him; he is able to maintain friendly relations with women who were his lovers in the past. The only vulnerable point of the Two of Spades is that it experiences severe pain if a friend leaves it.
