Two of pentacles: balance; ebb and flow;
The young man sits atop the wall tossing his two coins with a practiced ease keeping the oposing forces in balance. The two of pentacles represents the ups and downs if life and reminds that the imbalance of life can be it's greatest strength. To someone who masters the ebb and flow it's possible to ride the waves of life's ups and downs towards a positive outcome...this card can serve as a reminder to let go of things that are weighing you down.
Nine of swords: paralyzing fear; fauning; indecision
Frozen by fear the boy gazes up at the beast that is about to devour him. He makes no move to defend himself and readily awaits his fate. This card is a sign that now is not the time for passivity. Break free from whatever fears are holding you back don't respond like this hapless figure but instead face your fears with Valor and dignity.
Five of chalices: moving on; cutting ties;
the man leans over a sharp cliff intentionally dropping three cups into the river leaving two atop the cliff. The two that remain bubble happily glad to not share the same fate as their brethren. For the three that vexed him it wasn't enough to empty their contents but he had shed himself of their vessels entirely. This card is about growing apart from those you were once close to while it can be painfull sometimes severing ties entirely is the only way to move forward with life like pruning a bonsai to shape your growth sometimes it's necessary to remove a branch here and there.
