TarotCraft Lesson 205.02: The 2 of Pentacles

The 2 of Pentacles Tarot card from the Universal Waite Tarot deck.

The appearance of the 2 of Pentacles reminds you that you can have anything you want, but not everything you want!  You may be dealing with many things at once while weighing up options, deciding how best to allocate resources, money and effort.

TarotCraft Upright Meaning

The appearance of this card reminds you that you can have anything you want, but not everything you want!  You may be dealing with many things at once while weighing up options, deciding how best to allocate resources, money and effort.   
 
As the dates related to this card incorporate 25 December, I call this the “Jesus card”. It indicates the multiplication of material blessings when you share your resources with others. It also represents personal sacrifice for the greater good.
 
This is not the time for fantasy and wild dreams. Following a proven path will bring success now.
 
In love, there may be stress from trying to allocate time to developing a relationship due to other demands at present. This is a temporary situation.
 
TarotCraft Reversed Meaning

If the card is reversed or negatively aspected, it’s time to stop multitasking and do some delegation.  
Don’t try and do everything yourself – you don’t need to be a martyr.
 
In love, romance is being put on hold while other priorities are dealt with. 
 
TarotCraft Gift, Invitation, and Challenge
 
Gift 
 
Infinite possibilities are available to you now. Have confidence and belief in yourself. Surrendering to the flow will take you in the right direction.   
 
Invitation 
 
You are invited to go with the flow and respond to circumstances with flexibility and a light touch.  
 
Challenge 
 
It’s time to embrace and accept the need for change. Holding onto the way things are will only cause upset and stress. If something is moving away from you, it’s for the best.
