Six of One

From the Mandela Astrological Tarot, the Two of Swords; from the Sabian Symbols, 'Scorpio 7:'

          Six of one, half a dozen of the other; between a rock and a hard place. These phrases describe the perfectly balanced opposition of ideas of the Two of Swords. Venus is the planet of love and relationships while Libra is a sign of peacemaking and a refusal to rock the boat. No wonder a decision can't be reached with all that people-pleasing hovering in the background. The Sabian Symbol describes deep-sea divers using special equipment to explore the depths of the ocean. It implies that a fresh, innovative mind needs to be employed in order to see reality objectively. Emily P. Freeman states, "We may call it 'people pleasing,' but it is entirely self-serving because it is really all about keeping myself comfortable." Discomfort is what it will cost to bring some creative thinking to the table.
