"I'm glad you see it half full." Lavender gave Marco a small sympathetic smile. It was nice to know that he still was optimistic about his situation. She flipped over the second card. "This is your recent past card. The Two of Pentacles. A young man juggles or two propositions, deciding which to accept. The sea in the background represents his emotions, the ships his ideas. The ships are having difficulty staying afloat. This card is about having the ability to handle more than one situation at a time; harmony in the face of change. The focus is on business losses or discouragements, and emotional trials due to difficult schedules. You are spreading yourself too thin. Focus on one thing, and keep an even keel. Pressures will ease and balance will be restored."
