Welcome to part 5 of my 40 part series Minor Arcana Meanings Deep Dives – each week or so we’ll hang out with ONE Tarot card and dive deeply into it’s symbols, meanings and messages – I’ll even give you some journalling questions to help you contemplate and connect with each card. This is similar to my Major Arcana Meanings Deep Dive series and my Meet the Court Cards series.
Today we’re diving into the Two of Pentacles – it highlights the importance of staying balanced when you’re juggling multiple tasks, projects or responsibilities….but what happens when the busy pace of life becomes unsustainable and you drop the ball?

Advice & Messages
When the Two of Pentacles appears in your Tarot reading, it’s usually because effective multi-tasking is required right now and staying balanced is key to managing a busy schedule.
The Two of Pentacles advises you to get into a flow state, be flexible yet grounded and don’t forget to come back to your centre as this will allow you to stay busy without losing your hat!
External vs Internal Meanings
Internally, the Two of Pentacles is about focusing on creating inner balance – physically, emotionally, mentally and energetically.
Externally, this card is telling you that there’s a lot going on in your life! You’re busy and juggling different things all at once and trying to make it all work.
Reversed
If the Two of Pentacles appears reversed, it can indicate feeling overwhelmed by all the tasks and responsibilities you have (life is getting too busy!). You’re struggling to stay balanced and keep everything running smoothly in your life and you need to take things off your plate and perhaps just focus on one thing at a time for now.
You’re trying to do too much and if you keep it up, you’re going to drop the ball sooner or later!
