Balanced Spending

From the Tarot of the Radiant Path, the Two of Pentacles; from Mirrors of the Heart, Light:

          A young woman and an older man work on some sort of sculpture or device. The man holds a ruler in one hand, giving the impression that pieces must be put together in a certain order and with precision. Yet he allows the younger woman to place the last piece at the top. These two folks are a reflection of my mind and body. During the morning and early afternoon, I have the energy of the woman; but as the day wears on and the night comes, I have the energy of the older man. I suppose we all have such internal rhythms, some of us being morning chickens and the rest night owls. The balance found in the Two of Pentacles reminds me to work with my natural cycles to be the most productive and less accident prone. The Light card shines a bright beam on reality, keeping me from any illusions. I have a tendency to want to get things done sooner rather than later. Already anything that hints of Christmas has already been packed up and put back in the attic, and the house cleaned. But if I'm working with rather than against the limits of my energy, I would be wise to listen to what my physical self is trying to tell me. Rather than having an overspent body, I'll have one that's rested and ready for activities tomorrow.
