Fluctuation and Flow
From the Sheridan-Douglas Tarot, the Two of Coins; from the Pages of Shustah, the 'Candle:'
Fluctuation and flow are two words that describe the human experience. If we are to look after our physical well-being, then we must be able to juggle and manage our resources (health, time, energy and finances). This young lass is adept at this task; notice how she keeps her eye on the coin in the air rather than the one firmly in her hand. It is tempting to second guess our decisions and actions rather than move our focus to something that actually needs our attention. "Keep your eye on the bird in the air, not the one in your hand," she encourages. The Candle represents illumination, and tied with the Two of Coins, suggests asking ourselves "How important is this?" The ship far out at sea may or may not dock at this gal's city. If she worries about it, she forgets to concentrate on carrying out what is necessary. As the saying goes, "Don't trouble trouble until trouble troubles you."

Focusing on the situation at hand is a perfect way to calm our mind.
ReplyDeleteDispersed thinking leads to chaos rather than calm, for sure!
Deletewhat do you suppose that thing is coming off the holder corner? a tassel? brass decorative?
ReplyDeletePerhaps a decorative handle?
DeleteI too noticed the handle and thought it was kind of reminiscent of the infinity loop that is part of the two of coins/pents. I noticed that in the 2 of pentacles that the wind, waves, and hair are all blowing right, and it reminded me what Sharyn's observation that things to the right are indicative of the future. So I guess the gal is looking back when the future is really what she should be looking toward and maybe the candle to help light her way.
ReplyDeleteThat is an interesting way to look at it. :) I generally add the oracle card's meaning to the tarot card, rather than see it as a continuation.
