Two of Pentacles
This card presents the tension between auspicious Lares and malevolent Lemures, embodying a confluence of order and chaos. The two pentacles symbolize opposing forces—light and dark, conscious and unconscious, yin and yang—and imply that our behavior influences which spirit will emerge. Practically, it advises juggling responsibilities and making compromises while being careful not to take on too much. Initial enthusiasm may be incongruent with what is realistically possible, so balance and realistic assessment are essential.

Story
The ancient Romans believed in good ghosts and bad ghosts. The good ghosts, known as Lares, were envisioned as blissful, dancing youths. They served as tutelary spirits and were venerated for their auspicious presence. The malevolent Lemures were ambulant skeletons that haunted homes, threatening the inhabitants. The spirits converge in a confluence of order and chaos. The patterns suggest that our own behavior can determine which type of ghost will emerge. The two pentacles in opposite corners suggest light and dark, conscious and unconscious, yin and yang.
Divinatory meaning
