On the Two of Pentacles tarot card, a man standing by the waves of the sea, deftly juggling two pentacles that represent juggling different situations in life (for example, work and home). It is about choices and priorities. You might feel as if you don’t have the heart to choose one thing over the other. You might choose to focus on one thing and ignore another temporarily, keeping both alive. However, this allows neither to thrive.

Sometimes, juggling two things can also be a lifesaver, allowing you to have a failsafe in the event things don’t go your way.

The Two is, as always, bound up in the forces of change, and of balance. Like its brothers, the Two of Pentacles can mean good or ill, but it as a strong indicator that the status quo will be disrupted. There will be challenges in your future, but your fate is largely in your own hands in the sense that the final outcome depends own how you respond to these challenges. The suit of this card suggests your best outcome is one that can be reached through prioritization, time-management, multi-tasking and careful planning.

On the Eight of Cups tarot card, a man has abandoned eight cups to turn toward the moon. This is the morning after a night of excess. It is now time to realize that you may have squandered your emotions on something or someone and it wasn’t justified. You need to head for a place or state of being where you can throw off your reserve.

It is time to nurture the things or individuals you hold dear, whether or not they have satisfied your desires. A new dream is calling you – it may have been doing so for some time, but finally you are aware of it.

The Eight suggests that there is stability and security in your life, but at a personal cost. You are probably unfulfilled by your current life need to make lifestyle changes. Depending on the rest of your spread, it may be a strong push for the abandonment of something and that you to move on, and find the courage to strike out new directions. You will have to look closely at your work, your relationship, and your own beliefs to identify the source of your dissatisfaction, and then decide if you are willing to withdrawal and set aside some of your life’s stability in order to find happiness.

This week we are guided by the Ace of Swords

The image of the sword piercing the crown represents your awakening mind and your realization challenges need to be faced. It’s now easier to think and see things clearly. You might want to find somewhere to vent and need someone to talk to. If you can’t immediately find someone you trust enough, you might be tempted to put your feelings into writing, perhaps in an internet forum.

The card suggests a breeze wafting through the trees, rattling the eaves as it passes through. It indicates a new idea, a new concept providing that refreshing aha! moment. It shows a time of new ideals and sheds light on a new way of doing things. The sword is lifted and you are eager to test it and see how sharp its edge really is.

The Ace of Swords is, like all of the Aces, the purest embodiment of its suit. It symbolizes breakthroughs and mental clarity. In relation to your personality or the action you take, it implies a strong element of focus, determination, and an intellectual capacity. It may suggest change through conquering internal forces, leading to new beginnings.
