Image Description

He stands on one leg, performing a juggling act that represents balance. Like the Indian deity Shiva, he is engaged in the dance of creation and destruction, a harmonic balance of opposing forces. As if his pose itself weren't precarious enough, the stone peak on which he's perched seems to be about to topple into the abyss at the slightest misstep or unexpected gust of wind; yet he remains confident. He knows this dance very well, can sense the dynamics of the situation, and can feel the wind partnering with his movements like a silent, unseen partner in a complex pas de deux. Will his overconfidence lead to a fall? Will the playful breeze turn treacherous and strike before he can compensate for the rapid change in direction?

Meaning

The 2 of Pentacles signifies an act of balancing: juggling and keeping everything in motion, flexibility, adaptation, and ease in changing direction. Manage the challenges that come your way with a good attitude, but be careful not to take on too much at once.
