Two of Pentacles




     The Two of Pentacles is one of the cards of the Minor Arcana. Depicted on this card is a young man dancing with two pentacles in his hands surrounded by a cord in the shape of the sideways eight or infinity. Two ships are riding atop of stormy waves in the background. This card like the other two's in the minor arcana represents a harmonious balance despite odds that may be stacked against it. This particular card when it comes into the spread indicates to me that correct and frugal choices are iminent in maintaining stability financially or in employment.
