II Two of Pentacles

The Two of Pentacles basically means duality. Maybe you need to find balance in some relationship, or you have a choice to make or two problems to solve. On a smaller scale, it can mean that you are involved in two tasks or decisions.

Two projects to execute, two meetings, two issues to deal with, or a choice, for example.

The card carries the infinity symbol, indicating that the things you resolve now will directly influence your future. So the advice is to do everything honestly and fairly so that positive energies return to you.

A little more about Two of Pentacles...

The Two of Pentacles symbolizes the juggling that we often have to do in many situations and even in life, in the midst of responsibilities, commitments, and tasks. In the card we see a man holding two pentagrams joined by an infinity-shaped string, suggesting that the choices we make now will reflect sometime in the future.

The man seems focused on his current task, which is juggling to keep the balls from dropping. These balls symbolize our worldly diverse affairs. In the background, two ships cut through the rough sea, meaning the ups and downs of our lives and the obstacles we need to face throughout life.
