Life can be quite the juggle, and the Two of Pentacles certainly displays that quite clearly. Especially in todays day and age, where you are trying to keep a work-life balance and maintain family, friends and love one’s relationships in the process. We are in an age of information where you are constantly bombarded from every angle with messages and social media. The juggler however maintains his balance, just as the ships behind him stay their course even on the ups and downs of the sea. This card reminds us that it takes skill to balance so many priorities without dropping at least one of them.

How can you organize your schedule to keep it streamlined, and make sure you are makjng the most of your time to keep up with all these tasks? Do we need to step back and take a break, or do you feel ready to dive in and take more on in this moment? This card usually shows up when you have a LOT on your plate at the moment, and reminds us to keep our eyes on that balancing act to make sure nothing is slipping between the cracks.

On a deeper level, it can also speak of balance in our life. Sometimes we need to keep our knees unlocked so when the waves hit us we don’t topple over, remain flexible and go with the flow. Life will always have different ups and downs but it’s up to us to rearrange our schedules to best fit our priorities, so that we are living up to our highest potential.

Oftentimes, as with many tarot cards, I really feel reading this card has a lot to do with the cards surrounding it. Is it beside the tower? Perhaps you are taking too much on and you’re balancing act is unsteady, and it’s about to all come falling apart if you don’t take a break for you. Is it beside a card depicting a happy family? Maybe this is exactly where you want to be right now, balancing lots of priorities and living the life full of events and happenings, or maybe it wants to shift your focus over to remind you that you wanted to do more with your family and take a break from work.

The juggling act we play every day is different for everyone, but it is helpful to reflect on our priorities so we are living up to our highest selves, and create the lives we desire.
