Monday Monday: Two of Pentacles, Embracing the Challenge

from learntarot.com:

In the film First Knight, Lancelot takes on a challenge - to move down a line of swinging blades crossing in front of him at random intervals. He succeeds because he is alert, agile and patient. He knows when to move and when to stay still. He glides through the dangers enjoying every moment of this deadly obstacle course. Lancelot has tapped the energy of the Two of Pentacles.

There is nothing quite like the feeling of being graceful and effective at the same time. On the Two of Pentacles we see a young man dancing as he juggles his worldly concerns. The infinity sign loops around the two pentacles to suggest that he can handle unlimited problems. In the background we see two ships riding the waves easily - cruising the ups and downs of life.

In readings, the Two of Pentacles lets you know that you can juggle all demands made upon you. In fact, you will relish the excitement of every hurdle. If you do not feel this level of confidence right now, this card asks you to believe in yourself. You have all you need to meet your every goal and more. Embrace the challenge.




The Two of Pentacles also reminds you to be flexible. Lancelot could not have navigated the swords walking in a straight line. He had to move freely and lightly in all directions as needed. You too must be supple if you want to prevail. Don't force your way through or you will be cut down. Now is not the time to be rigid. Know that sometimes a side step, or even a back step is the surest way forward.

The Two of Pentacles is also a symbol of fun, laughter and good times. It is definitely a high-energy card. If you are feeling tired or depressed, this card may be a sign that greater vitality will be yours. If you are feeling revved already, the Two of Pentacles could be a warning against overstimulation. Be sure you get the rest you need so that you can enjoy the up energy of this card.

Aquarius is humanistic in nature, so don't be surprised if you feel the need to connect and socialize with friends this month. Under the influence of an Aquarius moon, we also feel a strong need to be involved in humanitarian causes. Consider helping others and volunteering your time and talents to a worthy cause," says astrologer Maria Shaw, author of Soul Mates and Cell Mates.

This meditation comes during a waning moon in Aquarius, as the above was found. The key lies in Robert Wang's Jungian interpretation.

"... a highly original and organized restructuring, a change which is thoughtfully and intelligently administered.

" Accepted authority is challenged: outworn structures are reshaped and replaced." ... The Age of Aquarius, so to speak.




"This is a very strong card which describes change without values implied. What emerges is not necessarily better--it is simply different from what it replaced."

This may also be "fundamental and positive" change. It does point to the fiery New Moon in Aries come 5 April.
