The Two of Pentacles

Since The Two of Pentacles usually symbolize positive things, what the jester is doing is effectively juggling two different positive influences. The modern day idea of this would be choosing between two things that would be very good for you, but being unable to actually do both well. In the end, you may tire, or you may have to let one drop, because they cannot be juggled forever. Choose whichever one is the most positive or whichever one makes you happiest and stick by your decision.

If The Two of Pentacles is applied to your romantic life, what this probably means is that you are trying to handle two different aspects of your partner that are both good, but that you cannot handle all at once. A good example is the idea of wanting a partner that is both gentle to you and yet a savage lover in bed. It is hard to get both of these aspects and hard for him or her to know when you want what mood. Eventually you may just have to choose one, so make sure that you make the right choice. If you are not already in a relationship, this juggling match could be between two potential partners. You are unsure of which one you want to stay with overall.

In the career slot for a spread, the two of pentacles would imply that you are struggling between choosing two different jobs or two different career paths that would both be very good for you in the end. You want to be able to know which one will be most rewarding and are weighing the pros and cons but you will eventually need to just choose one already. Of course you should be scrutinizing and tough and know what you want but you should also make sure to make a fast decision or both opportunities may pass you by.

If you are getting the two of pentacles on the area of your spread that has to do with cash flow, then you will probably be seeing two different sources of income coming your way. If you already have a source of income, then this number will be three. You will not be able to balance all of the opportunities though without great difficulty, so play your hand well or things could end disastrously for you unless you make a definite choice.

Seeing this card representative of your future health, means you will probably eventually have important choices to make to take care of your body. This may mean choosing between two different diets, different personal trainers, or even two different medications that your doctor can prescribe. Make an intelligent decision or you might find yourself in a sticky situation. Your personal health is the last thing you want to take a gamble on, so make sure you are informed and that you decide early on what you really want out of your treatment or exercise plan.
