Today's Card: Two of Pentacles

 

The Two of pentacles is about balance.  It is about judgement of one's own actions.  It is about paying attention to the details and being bright eyed and vigilant in order to keep all of the balls being juggled in air.  The form in the picture essentially is juggling his worries, his problems, his concerns and managing to keep things in balance.

This card signifies success through careful action and through flexibility.  It tells us to be confident in our own abilities to keep the 'balls in the air'.  We have the tools to manage our own concerns successfully, but we must be able to move when the balls move, change our course to keep them moving, as any good juggler understands.  We must learn to trust in our intuition and make decisions almost without thinking in order to catch the balls before they drop.  Although we rely on ourselves, we take our cues from our surroundings and learn to adapt to them.

The Two of Pentacles also symbolizes movement and energy, vitality and even a bit of fun, as he is in fact a juggler.  What is more entertaining and fulfilling then a good busker who can keep multiple flaming torches moving while balancing on a tiptoe over a pool of water.  We love it, and he takes his energy from our adoration.
