Two of Wands

44. Kou / Coming to Meet
14. Ta Yu / Posession in Great Measure
The Two of Wands is a card of strength and domination in pure aspect — a selfish power will lead to destruction as leading inherently involves the needs of others — guide openly and purely and you will bring your followers to the good (that which you know to be healthy).
The first hexagram (#44), describing our current state of affairs, warns that “coming together must be free of dishonest ulterior motives, otherwise harm will result.” The second hexagram (#14) describing the recommended course of action, states, “The sun brings both evil and good into the light of day… Possession… must be administered properly.” Both our card and the two hexagrams deal clearly and directly with power and its dual aspect (good and evil, destruction and prosperity). Whatever projects or leadership are under your power this week, it seems plain that they should be executed “by virtue of unselfish modesty.”
