    Two of Pentacles in a time-based position

    Past – The Two of Pentacles in the Past position can represent a life of constant change and adaptation. You may have moved locations or changed greatly as a person. Think about the good aspects of each and keep them, try to get rid of the bad habits. In that recent past, you may have had to make a choice between two things, two major paths in life. You have chosen and are living with the consequences of that choice.

    Present – The Two of Pentacles in the present position has a few meanings. You could be balancing two aspects of your life; work and play, certain family and friends. This can be both good and bad, but as long as the balance is retained and you are comfortable, then things should continue to go well. Try not to get stuck living your life for other people. Sometimes we have to be selfish. As the past definition suggests, look out for a choice between two paths soon. It may be something which changes your life forever, and there will be many aspects of each choice to consider. Neither choice is good or bad, they are just different.

    Future – The Two of Pentacles in the future position represents a wholesome balanced life if you continue positively. You need to address your current problems for future growth. Imagine yourself in five, and ten years. How are you? Are you living the life you expected?

You have to work out what you want and how, if it’s possible, how it is going to fit into your current life. Negative feelings of past relationships can affect our future choices, but remember that not everybody is the same.
