Two of Coins Tarot Card Meanings

Two of Coins Upright Meaning

This suit, most often named "Coins" or "Pentacles", is a symbol for a magical talisman that represented wealth or potential. This suit represents something supportive that is available to you -- whether it be health, some kind of talent, or a material or financial resource.

The Two in this suit generally features a youth juggling, with two coins juggled in figure-eight fashion, or just the coins without the youth -- one heads up, the other tails -- both flipping in the air. It is clear that until one or the other coin drops, the final call can not be made; there is more to learn before a decision can be made about appropriate action.

This card counsels patience, so do not allow yourself to be rushed. The figure-eight image is a symbol of immortality and eternity. Its message is "No need to hurry. You have all the time you need to work this out, no matter how things appear right now." Implied within this scenario is the idea that changes are in the works, but you will do better to stay calm until you have more information. Everything is in flux at a time like this.

Two of Coins Reversed Meaning

The Two of Coins reversed suggests that you let go of passivity if this is a time for action. You may be displaying too much ambivalence about outcomes, much to your detriment.

A neutral stance or procrastination will not serve you here. You must move into proactive support for the good of all concerned and leave passivity behind. At the very least, assert your personal preferences as a sign of respect for any others who also display the courage of their convictions.

Two of Coins Advice Position

The Two of Coins in this position advises you not to choose anything definitive for the time being. Give yourself a little more time to sort out your feelings and any mixed messages you may be receiving from others.

Ask yourself -- are all the facts in yet? Or is the coin still flipping in the air? There is no need to be goaded into premature decisions or actions. Act only when you are able to do so with a unified heart and mind.

Two of Coins Love Position

With the Two of Coins in this position, you may be in the midst of a relationship, or love-related, decision. A superficial examination reveals little difference between your alternatives, and trying to get hints from the environment isn't working, either. This situation is like trying to read a coin that is flipping in the air.

Be patient. Let some time pass so that circumstances have a chance to sort themselves out. As the coin falls, the situation's mixture of influences will reveal itself, and you will have a better basis for the choice or decision you have to make.

It's easy in circumstances like these to feel an undue sense of urgency and to act before you think. But there is no need to respond too quickly at this time.

Two of Coins Career Position

When the Two of Coins is in this position, too much is riding on a coin toss and it seems to be an irrational way to make big decisions. Resist the impulse to let the future be reduced to black-and-white, mutually exclusive thought-forms. Although some of the people you work with who have a need to be in control will jump to conclusions, there is no need for you to join them or take a position one way or the other.

Are all the facts in yet? Or is the coin still flipping in the air? If you are patient, you will spare yourself grief, while truth reveal itself in its own good time. In the end, the group might find themselves incorporating elements from all sides!
