Two of Pentacles

Gilded Tarot Information:
Author: Barbara Moore
Artist: Ciro Marchetti

A man is juggling two pentacles, with one in each hand. this suggest a search of trying to eqaul out two different things. However, a rainbow arches between his hands as well, which gives the idea of peace, a kind of positive force. With those two ideas put together, they suggest a positive outcome when trying to balance or juggle two things in one's life.

Because the man is standing on a shoreline, the water meeting up with the land suggests a meeting or joining of two things. Two things are coming together and conencting. The shoreline symbolizes emotions (water) and the physical world or money (earth) coming together.

However the question of why is the man juggling these two things still exists. For some reason, these two things, represented by the pentacles, are unbalanaced, and are causing strife because of it.

In the background, a dolphin is leaping out of the water. Dolphins are known as playful and social creatures.

This card, when putting all these ideas together, could represent the joining of work and play (one's social life included in said 'play'). Or maybe it is the coming together of work and play that is creating the unbalance and strife and so one must find a way to give equal time to all things in order for one's life to obtain the balance.
