Card Description.

A person holding a pentacle in each hand doing a balancing act, it can also be seen as an act of juggling. The reversed figure eight lying on its side connecting and enveloping the two Pentacles. In the background are two ships passing.

Meaning: “Balance/duality”

This card signifies gaiety and recreation. But, in new projects or planned projects, predicts some difficulty to establish financial security and stability. It explains how you would need to manage the finances. Clearly with preponderance and careful planning. You may need to play one project of against the other, or invest most of your resources and then struggle to keep the wolves from the door. This card also indicate some written instruction or messages and news, likely legal. These are likely to be obstacles, trouble and agitation.

Positive:

Gaiety, recreation. Financial instability. Allow some room to move, financial troubles, embarrassment. The seriousness of these troubles will be shown by the other cards. Receiving of messages or news (possibly legal).

With this card appearing in your spread, expect troubles in establishing your financial stability. You have the ability to handle more than one project, but, it means that you would have to maintain balance in applying your resources. Understandably, every new project holds the key to your financial success and is inevitably your brain child, the promise of new things and fortune. Expect to suffer the consequence of keeping your project alive by burdening that which you already have. You may also receive, unfavorable messages, possibly legal, whereby you would need to maintain a balancing act. You may be celebrating, but not for long anymore. Don’t force yourself into a tight spot, you need some room to move.

Reversed:

Forced enjoyment, lack of financial stability. Clumsy financial management. Bad news and written messages (legal notices). Trouble, doubt and worries.

Your financial planning and implementation, lacks the proper balance. The troubles ahead are not calculated risks. You put yourself in such a vulnerable position that you may start receiving legal notices and may expect legal action against you. The resources you have, are insufficient to be able to finance and maintain the project you are in or are planning. Your ability to handle more than one thing at a time is doubtful and most probably ill-conceived.  Find your balance and maintain your status quo, rather than losing more than you should.
