And I assure you, "excellent" coordination has never been applied to me. Clumsily "dropping the ball" might then be a good analogy for 2 of Pents as an "obstacle."Īny emotional stress that results in the relationship would seem to me to be a symptom of imperfect cooperation and coordination, not a conclusion inherent in the nature of the card itself.Ĭlick to expand.When was the last time you juggled? I taught myself to juggle three balls in a relatively short time (though, yes, it took about a week of steady practice). Bringing in a second "juggler" via the relationship only complicates things. He may look care-free but successful juggling takes excellent coordination, discipline and practice. Although the RWS and I don't usually see eye-to-eye, a juggler trying to keep the balls in the air is a good image for this idea. Restlessness, aimlessness and false starts might be others. With Pents, practical matters are paramount, so an inability to get things done cooperatively in any reasonable way would be one possible outcome. As an "obstacle," then I don't believe that the energy is stymied or in any way absent so much as it's possibly misapplied it still has to go somewhere. The energy level is still very high - we don't see dissipation or stagnation until the energy is almost "played out" near the end of the sequence (8, 9, 10). In both the qabalistic and numerological worlds, the Twos are very close to the source or root of the elemental energy. (These would be examples of a "short-circuit" or "open circuit" in the two-way flow of energy, destroying the momentum and the intrinsic stability.) Regardless of the specifics, some divergence of opinion on the joint handling of more complex matters "of the world" could be a source of disturbance for the relationship the Twos like simple, straight-forward, equilibrated give-and-take, with no complicating "jogs" in the rhythm. Perhaps one is generous toward the other, but the other is just a "taker." Perhaps they are polar opposites on anything to do with practicality. In more general terms, possibly one of them is frugal and the other likes to spend wantonly. When challenged by the Two of Disks as an "obstacle," couples who live paycheck-to-paycheck are kind of in that oscillating mode (rich on Friday, poor again by Tuesday or Wednesday), and money problems are one of the biggest stumbling blocks for maintaining a stable long-term relationship like a marriage. Any stability they show is due to their continuous, compensating momentum like riding a two-wheeled bike, if you stop you fall over unless you put a foot down (as symbolized by the Threes). For me, the Twos always seem like an alternating current or a two-pole "closed-loop" system - on/off, hot/cold, stop/go, send/receive, give/take, etc.
