2 of Pentacles

This week’s Tarot-Draw is the Two of Pentacles.

Ever feel like life is a balancing act?

You give up this to take on that. You tamp down one vice just to have one of the others act up. You want to be social but peopling is exhausting… Your diet is going well so a little cheat won’t be so bad eh?

Balance is usually thought of as a static and still thing, but the scales counterbalance each other in a synchronized dance.

Night and Day are in a constant dance flowing into and out of the other.

It’s inherent in the construct that dualities are made of complementary pairs of opposites.

The hero and the villain like the chicken and the egg can each lead to the other. The answer to the question of who came first depends wholly upon the view your current perspective provides.

Playing with balance leads to a state of Flow - a feeling of the world contracting down into that dance of opposites and at the same time awareness opening up to itself.

When’s the last time you danced?

I’m chair dancing right as I type this letting the music take over for the occasional dance break .

Where’s the play in your day?

Does what you are doing right now have the capacity to include play?

How will you know unless you try?

What if the struggle that comes quickly to the mind is the multi-verse giving you an opportunity to prove you’ve grown?

Don’t look at it as gatekeeping or working against you.

Think of it as a test for your quest.

Sometimes you gotta put what you’ve learned into action.

Isn’t that the famed proof of you having learned your lesson so you can escape the cycle of being taught the same lesson over and over again?

Perhaps there’s an opportunity to observe yourself in action — to prove to yourself you’ve grown.

This week in Psychic Sleep we’ll touch on themes of: balance; flow; and growth.
