In this particular instance with thoughts and feelings as the context, I'm still leaning more towards toning down anger in order to sort things out. Or maybe a better one I read about would be using compassion and understanding instead of hostility or antagonism. I also read that it could stand for friendship.
Another card from a different reading that's related to the same subject that I'm having a hard time with is 2 of Wands as a result of renewing a friendship. I initially interpreted it as the friendship could go either way, good or bad. I think there's something a little deeper to that, but I'm not sure.
I'm not sure about toning down anger, hostility and antagonism but in my deck that card ('Lust') is about the 'redirecting and transformation' of energy. One of the key aspects seem to be about NOT repressing the animal drives and even perhaps psychological 'drives' but utilising them, in this case, under the direction of the forces represented by the woman in the card. The beast has 7 main qualities, skills, modes of operation or expressions - heads- he brings to contribute.
The two of wands is about your individuation, or your 'psychic energy field' or individual energetic space - your dominion; where the power of your will circulates or a realm subject or area that you have control of and how you deal with influences coming into that.
Sometimes we find we come up against a wall ... nothing seems to work, but when the particular RIGHT solution or way of operating is found, resistance can easily melt so what is being done can appear magical, effortless but has great power in its own right.
