Going Deeper

There's a sense of movement in this card that means we may have to be adaptable to change, yet we must try to keep things as balanced as possible. There is usually a strong sense of co-operation coming from other people; even if you are single, finding practical support shouldn't be a problem. The two of pentacles represent a degree of conservatism. If you want to achieve in the outer world, then the stronger aspects of your independent personality may need to be kept private for a while. Because this card has a connection to the sign of Capricorn, it suggests that traditional methods will work better than trying to be radically different. Some juggling of finances may need to be done, but at least there is something to juggle.
