When the 2 of Pentacles shows up circumstances may force you to move outside your comfort zone. Or you could be contemplating some big change that will make you have to shift outside that zone. In this instance, the 2 of Pentacles is a sign to take action and do what is most useful. Either way now is a GREAT time to embrace change and to stretch beyond what you usually imagine yourself capable of.
The 2 of Pentacles invites us to contemplate what actions are most useful to take right now to help us move forward in practical ways. It is also an invitation to stay on top of our workload by getting organised. To-do lists very much belong under the auspice of this card.
Life begins at the end of your comfort zone.
~ Neale Donald Walsch
Think of yourself as a fledgling just learning to fly. It will be awkward at first… but you can do this!
And the great thing is, once your wings have been tried and you know you were born for flying, you can’t go back to your previous small way of thinking and moving in the world. You are now – and forever – one of the movers and shakers. You are shining your light and the world thanks you.
Affirmation: “I do not hesitate to take calculated risks in order to achieve my goals.”

Dear Mother-Father God, thank you for showing me how to handle my responsibilities in a way that leads to greater long-term stability and abundance for the Highest Good of All. Help me expand and prosper in the material domain. Amen and so it is!

The 2 of Pentacles in Love and Relationships
The 2 Pentacles is often said to signify stress or an increased workload. However, this is only true if you struggle with accepting change. Change and the need to make the right choices in order to move forward are part and parcel of this card.
The energy of this card can be very life-affirming and shows that you are stepping out into the world as a couple, determined to succeed in the material sense of the word.
You could be deciding to move house or one of you could be facing a big career decision. Or one or both of you could feel a strong urge to break free from routines. This is an indication that you need to find ways of supporting each other through times of change.
The shadow aspect of this card is stress and lack of focus. Picture a juggler who is not able to keep all the balls in the air but keeps dropping them. If this affects either of you, it will also affect the relationship.
In the most intimate aspect of your relationship, this card could indicate that it’s time to introduce a bit more variety in the bedroom. Or it indicates that stress is affecting your libido.
