In The Skeleton Tarot Deck, the Two of Coins appears as a dynamic dance of balance and juggling amidst the skeletal realm.
Picture this: a skeletal figure, skillfully balancing coins in their hands, performs a delicate dance on a shoreline. One coin is light, and one coin is dark, representing that the juggler is working towards two goals at the same time, and also reminding us that the spiritual and material aspects of our lives are linked. In the distance, the emotional seas raise and lower boats. It's a ballet of equilibrium, a testament to adaptability and resilience.
When you draw this card, it's a gentle reminder to find balance amidst life's ever-changing currents. It suggests that you may be juggling multiple priorities or responsibilities, but with grace and skill, you can navigate the challenges that come your way.
In terms of social justice work, the Two of Coins encourages us to consider the importance of balance and equity in our efforts. It prompts us to remember that we balance keeps us in the work for the long haul.
Let this card inspire you to embrace the dance of balance, to juggle your commitments with finesse, and to find harmony amidst life's twists and turns. It's a reminder that you have the power to adapt and thrive, even in the face of adversity. 💀💰🌟
When the two of coins appears in a reading:
Evaluate your life to see if you have been neglecting an aspect of it, then reevaluate and see where you can find more balance
Be patient with the changes that are taking place in your concept of yourself. With time you will be able to sort them out.
This card as a reminder to have fun! Not all growth our new awareness is serious business.
When the two of coins appears in reverse:
You might be overlooking alternatives in your situation
You may have gone to an extreme and found yourself holding onto that position.
Consider that you may be putting on a false face of happiness when you're really struggling.

A spread for the week ahead:
This is a basic three-card reading. The positions of the cards don’t mean anything special. (It’s not a past-present-future spread, for instance.) I just like three-card readings because they give a nice amount of information, and the cards play off each other, without being overwhelming.
The Seven of Swords typically represents secrets, lies, trickery, and doing things you know you shouldn’t. It can also suggest that hidden information is about to come to light. Sometimes, it simply describes the act of withdrawing socially.
The Two of Pentacles/Coins represents auspicious beginnings, but also the sense of having lots of projects going on at once. It suggests a need for flexibility. You don’t need to pare down all that you’ve got going on, but you might need to get creative in how you balance it all.
The Eight of Wands is the Go! Go! Go! card. It represents taking swift action and being busy, but being able to handle it. It comes towards the end of the wands suit, which suggests you’ve done hard work getting to this point, and that now is the time to jump into action to move things forward.
Together, the Two of Coins and Eight of Wands make me think that this week might be a busy one. We have lots of different irons in the fire, and many of our projects will require decisive action this week, perhaps leading to fortuitous turning points. We might feel overwhelmed, but the Seven of Swords reminds us that the way to handle that feeling is through honesty and openness. There’s nothing wrong with playing our cards close to the chest, but we shouldn’t resort to outright lies, deceit, or other abuses of power to get things done. Rather than burying any negative feelings that come up, we should examine them in the light. Talk them out with trusted friends and family. Ask for help if we need it. The cards suggest that this is an auspicious week, and we’ll be happy for the hard work we put in at the end of it.
