Known also as the Lord of Harmonious Change, and aligned with Jupiter in Capricorn, the Two of Pentacles represents balancing resources and the constancy of change. Jupiter brings luck and expansion, not only materially but also expanded interests and understanding. Placed in Capricorn it means you will experience more stability and security because of additional resources that come to you. There is a need to seek balance in your life, which means that you are trying to do too much of one thing and too little of something else, otherwise you are trying to do everything equally well. Something has to give. A lack of balance in your outer life is a sure sign that there is an imbalance in your inner life. Taking quiet time for yourself to regain your equilibrium is advised - try meditation or going for a long walk in the woods or along the beach. It will restore your inner sense of peace and tranquility. There are financial fluctuations indicated, leading to you seek to supplement your current income with a secondary source. You may also be offered an opportunity to earn a modest supplement to your income. This card often appears when we have been resisting change because we relate it to a threat to our security. Sometimes what we have become accustomed to is no longer good for us, yet we stick with it because at least it is familiar. And still we resist change, thinking it must be bad because we don't understand it. It is a reality based on fear. But you need to step out into the unknown sometimes, and often your present circumstances just become more and more uncomfortable until it it imperative that something changes. And then you discover that what you have been resisting is what you have been yearning after all, but you must cross that threshold. The conflict you have felt has stopped you from making this discovery. If you can tap into this new energy, then your whole life will change. “If you're are paralyzed with fear it's a good sign. It shows you what you have to do.” ― Steven Pressfield Image from "Sacred Rose Tarot" © Joanna Sherman.
