Direct card position

Changes that are not always pleasing. This is how the direct position of the Two of Pentacles is briefly characterized. The appearance of a sign in a reading indicates unexpected turns of fate: a sudden move, a change of job, or type of activity. Remember, the simpler you approach life, the easier the period of adaptation and getting used to in a new place will be.

Reversed meaning

In an inverted meaning, the card promises the questioner disorder, chaos and destruction. But don’t be afraid of the forecast; take the upcoming changes philosophically.

• Don't take on new projects in the near future. There is a high probability of financial loss.
• In matters of health, the inverted Two of Pentacles promises a strange, incomprehensible state. You are not sick, but you don’t feel well either. Exacerbation of chronic diseases, loss of strength, somatic problems.
• Pointless, unpromising acquaintances and connections. Don't waste time on unnecessary people. Mouse fuss at work, loss of interest in what you love.

Having received a warning in the form of an inverted 2 of Coins, think about whether you are setting your life priorities correctly. Don't try to change your position right away. Patience and endurance are the motto for the near future.

Much comes easily to him thanks to his innate intuition.

Meaning when divining relationships

When guessing about relationships, remember the duality of the card’s meaning.

Two of Pentacles from the Psycho Tarot deck

• If we are talking about an experienced married couple, then the card means the absence of a stable, serious relationship.
• The card is a symbol of infantility in the union of a man and a woman. Life “on a cloud” will sooner or later fail. If you want a strong family, run away from your current lover.
• The map may indicate that you are being used as an alternate airfield. The partner cannot make a choice and keeps the questioner nearby just in case, so as not to be left alone.
• Arkan says that the husband or wife is indifferent to the other half. They don’t care how the situation in the family will develop further.
• If you are guessing about a partnership, then the card indicates calculation and a desire for profit.
• Another meaning is possible betrayal on the part of a husband or wife. It’s as if a person is comparing partners, but doesn’t know who to choose.

Having pulled out 2 Coins from the deck, think about whether it’s worth complicating your life. Flirt, make new acquaintances.

The Two of Pentacles advises single people to refrain from hasty marriage. It will not bring the desired happiness. The time to start a family has not yet come, do not rush things. If your relationship with the opposite sex has reached a dead end, look at the neighboring cards, they will tell you the reason for the situation.

Inner meaning

Ability to maintain balance in any situation. The art of balancing act, only in life. Joy and sadness, success and failure, bankruptcy and prosperity, spirit and body - all these pairs cannot be broken, but a middle ground can be found.

Every rise is followed by a fall for a fool - this is enough to get stuck in self-pity, despondency and inaction. The sage knows that after the fall there will be a rise, so he lets go of the past and prepares to ride the wave of luck.

The ability to feel the changing times in life, to act in accordance with the cycles. Adapt and find benefit even in this.

2 Dinariev promises joy, good news, good luck, fun.

Surrounded by gloomy cards, it warns that one will have to sacrifice one thing in favor of another. The prospects are vague. Complete uncertainty in the planned business.

Even under good circumstances, difficulties will arise. Result is uncertain.

People and places

The card characterizes a person as an opportunist and an egoist. He has an excellent sense of humor and knows how to find answers to complex questions. Such natures move through life easily, playfully, and are difficult to confuse or confuse. Be careful if you come across such a fellow traveler! Do not take his words on faith, do not be tempted by promises. 2 Coins shows an enthusiastic but fickle nature.

When divining places, the Two of Pentacles means places of entertainment: casinos, nightclubs, vacation spots.

Two of Pentacles - a card of money and more from Elena Remneva:

Human consciousness and two coins

Today, man is in a state of weightlessness. It is surprising for him that after many years of heaviness, burden, yoke around his neck, he can breathe a sigh of relief. This is such a strong feeling that for some time it can shake a person’s resilience and even lead to an emotional crisis.

But if a person is not particularly susceptible to such stress, this will mean relief, the end of a period of failure. If the attribute is surrounded by negative cards, then the situation should be regarded as a manifestation of infantilism, the person constantly complains, constantly feels misunderstood, which irritates others due to the fact that he constantly accuses them of lack of attention.

Interpretation in layouts:

All twos in the deck indicate precariousness and instability of positions. The Two of Coins is a very mobile, mutable card; it is greatly influenced by other cards in the layout, and it can change its meaning from positive to negative. But, although with a different shade, doubts and hesitations always remain with the 2 Pentacles. You will definitely need resourcefulness and dexterity to keep things at least at the current level, and not allow them to slide downhill. Of course, when the mind is preoccupied with doubt, this is very difficult to do. Moreover, this is most likely caused by the first signs of deterioration in your affairs. You have become worried and are now frantically looking for a way to improve the situation. And here, of course, the main advice is not to fuss, so as not to mess things up. A state of stress and panic has never helped anyone make the right decision.

• With the Magician (1st Arcana) – successful financial manipulations.
• With Lovers (6 Arcana), as well as with the Three of Swords – adultery, betrayal, separation.
• With the Wheel of Fortune (10 Arcana) – winning, playing on the stock markets, betting.

General meaning of the suit of Pentacles in fortune telling:

Interpretation in the Direct position

The meaning in the layout depends on the influence of neighboring cards, on the situation and area for which the layout was applied, as well as on the layout itself.

The generally accepted interpretations in the direct position are as follows:

1. Balance, the result of skillful balancing. Like a tightrope walker, a person balances opposites, reaching the golden mean. Makes ends meet, having difficulty finding solutions in a difficult situation, but the ends meet in the end.

Achieving inner harmony through complex, painstaking work on oneself.

Stability based on constant perseverance, work, and the search for the right solutions.

This is a delicate balance that requires concentration. Even a feather falling on one of the scales can upset the balance.

Inner peace, lack of haste and fussiness will lead to achieving your goal.

1. Everything flows, everything changes. Difficulties and problems are replaced by a time of calm, relaxation and vice versa. “And all this will pass,” says the book of wisdom of Solomon.
2. A person is absorbed in the routine of everyday affairs. Behind many small insignificant troubles, he misses something important and valuable. He scatters attention and energy in vain, forgetting about the main, eternal things, and does not find the strength for the main thing.

The minor arcana advises turning your attention to the intangible areas of life. Strive for spiritual growth, self-realization, especially creative, pay attention to communication and relationships with people.

1. Activities related to finance, business trips, contracts, letters, agreements and other documents.

Ability to benefit from change. For example, enrichment from differences in exchange rates.

1. Change of situation, change. Their character will be suggested by the neighboring arcana. Usually there is a struggle of opposites. If it was good, it will become bad and vice versa.
2. Sometimes it indicates a change of job, home, or moving. In this case, surrounded by good cards, changes will be for the better.
3. May indicate spinelessness. A person accepts the point of view of the majority, says what is expected to be heard from him, and does not have his own opinion. Plays along, adapts, adapts.
4. A second wind, a surge of strength, irrepressible energy, optimism, good mood. Ability to perform multiple responsibilities simultaneously.
5. The Two of Pentacles carries soft feminine energy. It may be about a woman who plays a key role in the matter being asked about.

The card favors strengthening friendship and partnership. Cooperation will be favorable.

Combination with cards of the same suit

• Ace is a good sign. You deserve a rest and you will get it.
• Three - give yourself the opportunity to bounce back. Put things aside.
• A four next to a two. Try to preserve what you already have. Don't chase dubious prospects.
• A five of the same suit dropped next to the Two of Pentacles warns the questioner: financial collapse is possible. Blame yourself for failure.
• Six indicates unexpected, pleasant monetary support.
• Seven says it's time to get to work.
• Eight characterizes the questioner as a person of a free profession, a freelancer. Perhaps you should think about starting your own business.

Symbolism of the card

The symbolism of this minor arcana is associated with mythology and astrology. The card shows a guy who looks like a jester. In his hands are two coins, tied with a ribbon in the shape of a figure eight, an infinity sign. Behind the man is an endless ocean on which ships sail.

Reading the meaning of the card is difficult. The endless sea indicates information, ships symbolize intrigue and passion. The hero himself is indifferent to them. He is only interested in coins. This is where it is necessary to delve into astrology and mythology. The infinity sign drawn in the form of a ribbon is time. Playing with coins is busy. Busy time is a cycle with ups, downs, and changes.

In astrology, this is an indicator of adaptive character traits. The ability to find a balance between the spiritual and material, and any external conditions, is determined by the presence of a strong patron - the Moon. A person builds his work with profit; the Denarius suit itself characterizes material well-being.

The infinity symbol is associated with mythology, which points to the image of Ouroboros - a snake eating its own tail. It symbolizes knowledge of oneself and eternity. In life, this often brings a lot of trouble. A person does not develop spiritually and strives for financial well-being.

The meaning of the card when divining health

In the upright position, the card indicates that the person is cheerful, cheerful and does not pay attention to annoying little things. He is not worried about his health, chronic diseases do not worsen and do not affect the usual course of life.

In a reverse position, the Two of Pentacles symbolizes instability of well-being. Today you rejoice at the new day, tomorrow you cannot get out of bed. If this card appears in an inverted position in a health reading, try not to delay your scheduled medical examination.

The card can be described as positive. She advises to take a simpler approach to life. Don't take defeats to heart: everything passes.

Inverted position

In an inverted position, the lasso completely changes its meaning. Ostentatious calmness and carefreeness harbor a desire to give up everything and get away from problems. Dissatisfaction with life, confusion in yourself and in your affairs, constant fear of receiving unpleasant news - all this puts pressure on the psyche, takes away strength and pushes into the abyss of depression. If the lasso falls out in this position, leave the problems for later, take a break and rest.

Consciousness

A period of troubles, obstacles and negative influences finally gives way to a period of relative peace. The scales swung in the opposite direction. It is important to maintain balance and gain strength before changes for the worse replace the long-awaited peace.

May indicate a complete optimist with rose-colored glasses. He is so unprepared to see the naked reality of this world that he is afraid to make a decision. It seems to him that a wrong step could destroy his Universe forever. He indulges, standing on the edge.

At the same time, the Two of Pentacles is a symbol of wise simplicity and meekness.

Personal relationships

An easy relationship, not burdened with obligations or deep feelings. There are you, me and this wonderful sunset. We'll think about the rest tomorrow. The situation is not certain. A person is searching, but is not ready to immediately accept the burden of a relationship. It takes time to understand whether there is a need for a person. And here and now two souls are resting from loneliness.

It may indicate a situation where one of the lovers deliberately keeps silent about a closer and more important person in his life in order to have a good time and then return to the arms of another lover.

For a married couple, this is a period of balance, peace and absence of conflicts.

The inverted position speaks of meaningless meetings that do not involve relationships, of a lack of intention and desire to build a personal life.

In the vicinity of good cards - flirting, sympathy, easy falling in love.

Next to lasso 0, “Jester” is a person with frivolous intentions, you cannot rely on him. There is no trust or stability.

Two of Coins with “Devil” – outright manipulation, lack of respect.

If the Seven of Swords is nearby, the relationship is insincere, often betrayal.
