Two of Pentacles:
We always seek balance in life.
An explanation of this pithy meaning: When we lack something essential in our lives, we try to compensate with something else that we are able to get, even if it’s an unsuitable or self-destructive substitute. So when someone exhibits dysfunctional behavior, see if they might be compensating for a lack of something else that is vital in their lives—something like fulfillment, self-esteem, or love.

Karma is generally understood to be the law of cause and effect that governs our lives, whether we see it as operating within this one life or from one lifetime to the next. Consequently, people often talk about “good karma” and “bad karma,” considering it to be a cosmic balance sheet. But if the material world is (spiritually speaking) an illusion, what reality is there in material rewards and punishments? And if we are souls having a material experience in order to learn and grow, isn’t there a deeper meaning to the concept of karma? Perhaps, then, instead of seeing karma as a system of rewards and punishments, we should see it as being about which lessons we have learned and which we have not. If we can view it this way, we can finally appreciate things that may be considered “bad karma,” and we can begin to learn from them in order to relieve our suffering and stop being mired in it.
Eight of Wands:
All movement in your life is subject to the principle of inertia.
Note: This doesn’t just apply to your car as it rushes toward a stop light or a couch that you’re trying to slide over a few inches. It also includes your career, your effort to lose weight, your bad habits, the progress of a relationship, your spiritual growth, etc. So remember: Things in motion tend to stay in motion; things that are not in motion tend to remain stationary.
