2 Pentacles

The Card: A young man dressed in red and brown is standing with two pentacles in his hands. The pentacles are surrounded by an 8-shape. He is standing with his back towards the sea where two ships are sailing the waves. Both the sea and the sky is blue.

Interpretation: Our young man seems to be an entertaining juggler, but he himself has become aware of what he is juggling with: Energy and matter, spirit and the material. He is looking at them, feeling as if he has to choose one or the other. But the band holding them separated in a loop of infinity merely has to be twisted a quarter turn, then they are in the same space, free to merge. There is no dilemma.

Right now his mind is in the same state as the ships behind him, up and down, up and down. But he has turned his back on the sea, thus he can not see what he is caught up in. In spite of his indecisiveness he is in some kind of equilibrium, riding the waves of life. Perhaps he has got to turn around now, going deeper in the act of facing the sea.

Prediction: There is doubt, I will now have to face the constant change and become at ease with it. To ride the waves of life with grace and flow. One side doesn't outweigh the other, they are part of a whole.

Keywords: Dilemma, at ease in ups and downs, sidestepping the minds illusions, finding flow, yin and yang.
