TWO OF PENTACLES

A young man, in the act of dancing, has a pentacle in either hand, and they are joined by that endless cord which is like the number 8 reversed. Divinatory meanings: On the one hand it is represented as a card of gaiety, recreation and its connexions, which is the subject of the design; but it is read also as news and messages in writing, as obstacles, agitation, trouble, embroilment. Reversed: Enforced gaiety, simulated enjoyment, literal sense, handwriting, composition, letters of exchange.--A.E. Waite

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

At times the card means juggling life itself, keeping everything in the air at once. ... Like so many Pentacles, the card implies a hidden magic in its ordinary pleasures.--Rachel Pollack

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In readings, the Two of Pentacles lets you know that you will be able to juggle all the demands of your situation. In fact, you will relish the excitement of every hurdle, maybe even creating some for yourself simply for the joy of sailing over them. If you do not feel this level of confidence right now, the Two of Pentacles asks you to believe in your own abilities. Š Know that sometimes a sidestep, or even a backstep is the surest way forward. Š It is definitely a high-energy card.--Joan Bunning

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A young man maintains a pleasant, alert outlook as the pentacles balance back and forth in the symbol of the harmonious universe. Finance and projects are difficult to develop; however, the budding plant in the foreground promises things will blossom soon.--Susan Hansson

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[The two Pantacles] thus represent the harmonious interplay of the Four Elements in constant movement.--Aleister Crowley

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

What's important in these situations is understanding that the physical interplay between two unlike things always creates friction, and through this friction something new will come into being. Š Therefore, now is the time to define your role in relation to everything around you and to think about the interplay between opposing and complementary forces.--Alexandra Genetti
