A key aspect of reading your own tarot is interpreting cards. For a beginner interpreting a single card can be fine, as there are plenty of resources to help you out, however interpreting two or more can be very tricky.
However, if you have been practising single card readings for a while a 2 card spread will be a great introduction into reading multiple cards.
As you’ve found this page, you’re probably wondering how to interpret the The Magician card and 2 Of Pentacles card together in particular.
The The Magician card and 2 Of Pentacles have unique qualities and will interact with each other in different ways depending on what kind of reading you are doing.
What does The Magician and 2 Of Pentacles mean together?
The meanings of The Magician and The 2 Of Pentacles tarot cards together represent the need to focus your creative energy in order to manifest your visions into reality. This can be done by taking inspired action and making decisions based on what is best for your health and relationship.
The meaning of the cards will depend on what kind of reading you are doing and the question you asked the deck. This is a guide covering the general meanings of the cards and how they relate to each other.
Common 2-card spreads
Whilst it’s great to know who these two cards interact with each other, it’s important to note that the meaning will depend on the context of your spread
The most common 2 card spreads I recommend to newer readers are:
- The 2 card cross (otherwise known as “The Fool’s Journey”)
- The 2 card “Yes or No”
“The Fool’s Journey”
Setup: The two card cross is where you place two cards face up, one placed vertically and with one laying horizontally over
Interpretation: The 2 cards represent a “situation” and a “challenge”. The first card will describe the situation you are in with the second horizontal card being the “challenge” crossing you (literally crossing you in this case!)
Reading: Using the overviews in this guide is a great way to start. First, look at the meanings of the 2 cards, and see how they might relate either as your “situation” or “challenge”. Once you have that you can look at the general overview for how the two cards interact with each other.
The benefit of this spread is that it can give clarity when you’re feeling uncertain or anxious. Once you have clarity of thought, and a strong idea of what your challenge is you can find solutions to help your situation
The 2 card “Yes or No”
Setup: The 2 card “Yes or No” is where you place two cards face up side by side, whilst asking your deck a “yes or no” question.
Interpretation: Each card in a tarot deck has a “yes” or a “no” meaning. Look at the meanings of each card, and you will have your answer.
The benefit of this is you get a stronger yes or no compared to a single card draw. You may find you often get a mix of “yes or no”, and this is fine. It simply means there is doubt, or things are not yet clear.
Yes or No meaning
Things are a bit tricky for this combination, as The Magician and 2 Of Pentacles mean different things. The cards are unsure about your question, or the answer to the question has not yet been decided.
The “Yes” and “No” meanings can differ from reader to reader. The meanings here are based on what I believe are the generally accepted definitions.
What does The Magician mean?
The Magician Tarot card is all about manifestation and bringing your dreams and desires into reality. This is a powerful and positive card, indicating that you have the power to create your own reality. If you are focused and put your creative energies into action, you can achieve anything you desire.
For health, the Magician Tarot card means that you have the ability to heal yourself, both physically and emotionally. If you focus your energy on positive thoughts and affirmations, you can manifest good health and vitality.
For finances, the Magician Tarot card means that you have the power to create abundance in your life. If you focus your thoughts and actions on abundance and prosperity, you can attract wealth and abundance into your life.
For relationships, the Magician Tarot card means that you have the power to create and maintain fulfilling and healthy relationships. If you focus your energies on love and compassion, you can attract and maintain loving and supportive relationships.
What does 2 Of Pentacles mean?
The 2 of Pentacles tarot card means that you have two choices in front of you and you need to make a decision. It also suggests that you are juggling many different things in your life and need to find a way to balance everything. This can be a difficult card to interpret as it can mean different things for different people. For example, if you are struggling with your health, the 2 of Pentacles can suggest that you need to make a choice between two different treatments or paths. If you are worried about your finances, it might suggest that you need to make a decision about how to spend your money or whether to save or invest it. In relationships, the 2 of Pentacles can suggest that you are torn between two different people or two different aspects of the relationship. It is important to try to understand what the card is saying for you specifically, as it will have different meanings in different areas of your life.
Conclusion
Understanding how the meaning of a reading changes once you start involving more than one card can be tricky. This will come with time and practice, however I hope this guide on what your cards might be telling you when you draw The Magician and 2 Of Pentacles has helped you.
