Two of Pentacles

 

  

  

The Two of Pentacles indicates a balancing act, often relating to practical, financial, or material matters. You may find you're juggling your time or money to maintain balance. This is usually a phase that will pass once you have made certain adjustments in your life.

 

The number two represents balance and harmony. Duality and opposites are significant here, suggesting that too much of one thing or another can tip the balance and cause stress and worry.

 

Pentacles are related to finances and practical matters, so when this card appears, it could indicate that your income and outgoings need balancing to maintain financial stability. You may need to work extra hours to cover repayments on a loan, or you may need to cut out luxuries for a while until you get back on track with your finances.
 

It could also indicate that you're working long hours, not spending enough time with friends and family, or not getting enough time to rest yourself. Now is a good time to assess where adjustments are needed in your life and find a healthy balance between work and play.

 

Instability in our lives can have a significant impact on our health. This card can often relate to self-employment and the fluctuation of income and outgoings. Careful planning and preparations are necessary to bring harmony into our working lives.
 

When this card relates to relationships, it can suggest that you are going through a turbulent phase of highs and lows. Like everything, this will pass, but you must look at where the imbalances lie and adjust the issues accordingly.

 

It could be that you are spending too much time socialising and spending money that you haven't got, and it's causing arguments with a partner. Whatever the imbalance is in your life, you have the power to make changes to bring balance and harmony back.

Reversed

​

When this card is reversed, it can suggest that you may have taken on too much, leading to burnout! Be realistic over what you can handle and make the necessary changes to restore balance. It may also suggest that poor management or reckless decisions may be causing more stress and dysfunction. Look to the changes that are in your control and make amends.
