Two of Swords

CourageFriendshipConcordAffection

Upright

Conformity and the equipoise which it suggests, courage, friendship, concord in a state of arms; another reading gives tenderness, affection, intimacy. The suggestion of harmony and other favourable readings must be considered in a qualified manner, as Swords generally are not symbolical of beneficent forces in human affairs.

Reversed

Imposture, falsehood, duplicity, disloyalty.

The picture

A hoodwinked female figure balances two swords upon her shoulders.

Older readings

Gifts for a lady, influential protection for a man in search of help. Reversed: Dealings with rogues.

A. E. Waite, The Pictorial Key to the Tarot (1911), Part III §4. Waite collected these and says they often disagree with the main meanings.

Waite wrote in 1911 and some of his meanings show it. Tarot is a tradition of reflection, not a prediction, and no card decides anything for you.
