Two of Pentacles Tarot Card – Feeling
The Two of Pentacles is the energy of the flim-flam man. It is not quite a 3 card Monty guy but it is close. The sense of motion and maybe even motion sickness is indicated in this card. We often see ships on a rolling sea in the background and coins balancing left and right while they are always in motion.
In this photo, I have chosen a fire dancer because all of that elemental energy could so easily consume the dancer if fatigue sets in and things fall out of balance.

Developing good cash flow is often a dance of keeping things in motion until bigger bets pay off.
You are in it to win it but be careful to pick a thing to focus on. When things are in motion and speeding up and feeling out of control, the best thing that you can do to bring them back into balance is to focus on one thing first and then the next.
Much like a figure skater, pick a spot of focus as you spin. The greater the focus means the faster you go.

It’s the only thing that will lead to a fresh start.
