Part Two - The Minor Arcana - The Aces

     

Two's, each card shows a very similar yet vastly different experience?
Balance of finance in the Pentacles?
Exchange of love in Cups
Decisions and planning in wands
Protection and shielding in swords.

Which is your favourite from these cards?

What emotions does each one make you feel?

Using one or two words can you describe each one?

Two Cups
A new friendship but could also be a new love affair
Two Wands
Moving away from your current routine, that calls for you to take action and use initiative communicate your ideas and negotiate for a successful out come
Two Swords
Arguments that have been settled but one party is hiding their anger at the come, they may be laying in Waite to strike up the argument again
Two Pentacles
You are trying to control and balance personal resources this may be emotional/physical or financial matters  find a balance between action and allowing things to happen

2 of Pentacles - aiming for some kind of balance (or advising the querent that he should be), juggling responsibilities, also can be something to do with the sea, a cruise or fishing expedition

2 of Cups - a love affair, a wedding, can be an illicit affair if High Priestess nearby, a happy couple

2 of Wands - a fresh beginning, starting over, a new business, "the world is your oyster" type of thing

2 of Swords - a difficult decision, being at a crossroads, feeling literally torn in two having to decide something hard, trying to fight something off (wearing blindfold makes it harder, you can't see your enemy), panic and worry

I think this 2 of swords is one of my favourite card pictures, she is turning her back on everyone blocking out the pain and is very defensive?

Its from the Ancestral Tarot

2 of Pentacles:  a juggler of sorts, managing his money affairs as if he is moving along the rail of infinitiy to one hand to another.  business or moeny affairs that are equal or need to become equal depending on surround cards.  

2 of Cups:  A very nice card! A couple holds a cup of each while the male reachs for the female or reachs for her cup.  There is a sense of healing here because of the interwine snakes for health (can't think of the name of it) that sits above the cups a lion head with wings.  health and goodwill is in this card for me.  a doctor healing, a couple of realtionship being healed etc.

2 of Wands:  a self made man with a the world in the palm of his hand. success is on its way or has been achieved.  i hold my skill and the world. i can make it what i want it to be.  

2 of Swords:  a women in white sits on a beach with water and rocks behind her blinded folded at night with a crescent moon over head.   She maybe unaware of trouble but ready for it because of the swords in hand but maybe blinded sided because she can't see the trouble coming because of hte blindfold.

 this is fun!
