The card shown here is the 2 of Pentacles from the Rider-Waite deck. The Rider-Waite deck was the first Tarot deck to have each Minor Arcana card illustrated. Traditionally, the cards would look more like the one shown in the 3 of Pentacles - simply the corresponding number of the suite.

When the 2 of Pentacles comes up in a reading, it tends to show that the querant is ‘juggling’ something, usually their finances or some other practical, tangible aspect of their lives. This is a card about ‘doing’, rather than ‘feeling’ (Cups), ‘thinking’ (Swords). There may be a decision between two jobs or financial opportunities, or as we have all done at one stage, borrowed from Peter to pay Paul and vice versa the next month. Whether this is a temporary or ongoing situation depending on what is show in the other cards accompanying.

Three of Pentacles

The card depicted here is the Ace of Pentacles from the Robin Wood deck. It’s a beautiful deck and well worth looking out for.

When the Ace of Pentacles appears in a reading, like the other Aces, it tells me that something is about to happen. It’s a card of a new beginning, espcially in regard to work and money. Think of the Pentacle as being a coin, or currency, and you are off to a good start. In the Ace, a job offer or promotion might be in the wings, extra money may be coming to you, or an opportunity to make some extra money.

Let’s move onto the Two of Pentacles.

I reshuffled the deck really, really well and pulled out another three  Ace of Wands, Ace of Pentacles and the Knight of Cups.

Did it again twice and got the 3 of Cups and 2 of Pentacles both times. Go figure.
