Two of Pentacles Tarot Card Description
In the Rider Waite deck, the card shows a young man dancing as he juggles his worldly concerns. The infinity sign suggests that he can handle unlimited problems. The two ships in the background seem to ride the waves easily, that are indicating the ups and downs of life. Although the man seems concerned, yet he dances with apparent abandon, knowing that if he pays attention to the process as well as the goal, he can handle these problems.
When the Two of Pentacles appears in a reading, the need of the hour is contemplation. You may be juggling too many things at one time and need to prioritise your roles and responsibilities. This is a period of restlessness and uncertainty.
It is important to remain flexible at this time.
Upright Two of Pentacles Card Prediction for Career
When the Two of Pentacles comes in a career spread, it indicates that you may be in the process of deciding between two career paths or two different job offers. Since this is quite a positive card, rest assured that the decision you take at this time will move in your favour. Do not feel impatient if you do not see much progress being made at this time. Learn to budget your time, energy and resources as the growth could be slow.
The card can also indicate two sources of income for you.
Typically, the card urges you to balance your earning with your spending. This period may denote an early development of a financial or physical endeavour.

Instead, you should put the surplus money into your savings account to relieve yourself of the ongoing financial stress. Remember that this stress is temporary as the card is generally positive. Be more rational and tackle this situation in a calm manner.
