THE TWO OF PENTACLES

img66.jpg

“The Lord of Harmonious Change”

Jupiter in Capricorn

DESCRIPTION AND SYMBOLISM

A young man stands alone and tries to balance two Pentacles that float within an infinity symbol. The jugglers left foot is raised and his head is tilted as he stares at the Pentacle which he holds in one of his hands. He is clothed in earthen colors and wears a conical red hat while standing on a solid, gray concrete walkway under a clear blue and cloudless sky. Two ships in the background struggle to stay afloat while sailing the rough seas of ever changing circumstance.

ASTROLOGICAL ASSOCIATION

The expansive spiritual power of Jupiter illuminates the earthy sign of Capricorn enhancing the good fortune that is traditionally associated with this planet  as we try to keep  the ship of self afloat in the turbulent waters of daily existence. The spiritual light of this powerful planet is the beacon which pierces the darkness of time, shining forth and illuminating the successful path through life.

ORACLES

When Appearing Upright in a Reading

The obstacles, trouble and disharmony that you are facing are making your life very difficult. Unexpected changes in your fortunes require you to maintain a delicate balance in this time of change.  Be sensible and handle your present situation with gentleness and finesse. Strive for harmony and balance between the old and the new.

When Appearing Reversed in a Reading

A loss of balance and control has occurred in your life. Your inability to handle change is fueling the discontent that is weighing you down. You must stop going around in circles and take stalk of where you are at. You may discover a need to rebalance your priorities and proceed in a new direction.

THE TREE OF LIFE

“The Sphere of Wisdom”

The ancient Chinese Book of Changes states that the only constant in the universe is change. Life never stands still. It is always on the move and challenges us to keep our balance by finding a relationship between our inner self and the outer world with its ever changing sea of circumstances.
