The directive property of magnetism states that when a magnet is suspended in air, it's N and S (north and south) axis's will remain in the same direction as the earths magnetic meridian.

I.e. It will continuously point north and south. If you were to mark one side red and one side blue and spin the magnetic 6 times it would still resort back to the original direction it was in.

What will happen to poles in a magnet when you cut a magnet in two?

Nothing happens, except that now you have two magnets. The poles of a magnet are not actually localized at the two ends of the magnet but are inherent to the magnetic properties of the magnet. As the magnetic properties are not altered by a modification of the magnet such as cutting it in half, there will be no effect on the poles of the magnet.
