"You have to decide what your highest priorities are and have the courage - pleasantly, smilingly, nonapologetically - to say 'no' to other things. And the way to do that is by having a bigger 'yes' burning inside. The enemy of the 'best' is often the 'good." ~Stephen CoveyThe Two of Pentacles represents the principle of balance amidst continual changes. If there are too many transformations at one time, life can become disordered and we can feel frenzied. But if there is too little change, life can stagnate leaving us at a standstill and stunted. The juggler here keeps everything is in constant motion, and under his control. He is open to new opportunities yet is mindful of what new projects he is able or not able to take on at this time. He manages this by maintaining harmony and staying focused on his own well being in the midst of progressive change. He is playful, flexible and allows the natural flow of things to guide him. He trusts that the choices he makes and the actions he takes in relation to them will keep him on his higher path provided he maintains balance. The lemniscate depicted here represents the energy that cannot be broken or destroyed, created or manipulated. It depicts that which has no end. This symbol portrays the endless force that is forever existant, divine and that which expresses itself through our thoughts and actions.
