Juggling, Tap-dancing Mode

This week I'll be using the Hoi Polloi Tarot published by Hoi Polloi Inc. The oracle I'll also use is the I Ching Pack created by Richard Gill and Anthony Clark, and published by Thorsons. Today's cards are Two of Pentacles and 'Lake over Lake' (hexagram 58):

          There are times when I must juggle multiple tasks, but before I do, it might be best to ask whether guilt or approval-seeking is pushing me to take on some of them. I can handle a few obligations well, and many poorly. Quantity (how much I do) doesn't really matter when the quality of what I've done sucks. And when I'm in that frenzied, tap dancing and juggling mode, the one responsibility I often overlook is taking care of myself. As Michelle Obama put it, "We need to do a better job of putting ourselves higher on our own ‘to do’ list." Hexagram 58 (Lake over Lake) suggests unusual depth and clarity which describes "Truth and true friends - two joys that bring delight and success." Objective honesty that comes from those who love me can help me see past my juggling to what's actually important and necessary. That kind of clarity can generally whittle that 'to-do' list down to something much more manageable.
