The Two of Bells is Ether (places, space, journeys) related to peace, harmony, and balance, which are indicated by the number two. It signifies a time of convalescence and distance, perhaps a reprieve after arduous conflict or illness. This time to rest and collect oneself, and perhaps reflect on all that has happened. The air clears to create a serene space to find peace and understanding. Here one may be relieved of many burdens.
