In the Rider-Waite-Smith Tarot, the 2 of Wands shows a well-dressed man standing on a balcony, overlooking the water. In his right hand, he holds a globe.
He literally has the world in his hand as he gazes out over the bay. His choices are wide open, and his vision, limitless.
This card indicates a chance to get a peek at the big picture, to see an overview of a situation, and to figure out what it is that really matters in your life.
It also points to fresh starts, and the fiery motivation to start taking action.
The first step in the process is to make a choice, and the globe is there to help map out your course.
This is a day for looking forward. You’ve got some time and you’re in a good position to look around and see what you want to do next. The world is literally in your hands and it’s up to you to decide the next move.
What is it that makes you feel most in control of your domain? What is it that makes you feel you’re really doing what you’re supposed to be doing?
Don’t rush this – it takes some serious consideration. Use this time to start getting a grip on your destiny. You’re in charge of this one. Don’t be afraid to take control. Your option is to let someone else.

It’s pretty certain Adam Winrich wasn’t thinking about the 2 of Wands when he made this Whips and Harmonica video. But that’s what I thought about when I watched it.
The two poles in the background make an obvious connection to the Smith Waite card. But instead of a globe in his hand, Winrich cracks some whips as a sign of his power.
They reminded me of the dorjes on the Thoth 2 of Wands, as well as that card’s key word of ‘dominion’.
Wands are about the spirit, and this two can be about finding dominion within yourself through balancing your spirit and your physical reality.
With his unlikely pairing of harmonica and whip snapping, Winrich seems to have found such a balance.
