TWO OF PENTACLES

Meet the Lord of Harmonious Change.

Mr. Mellifluous and the Lord of Harmonious Change

Open music in a new window.

   You find your way to the docks with Mr. Mellifluous, where a juggler is performing on a stage. The street performer is dancing while juggling two golden pentacles within a green strip of ribbon that resembles the infinity symbol, a horizontal figure-eight.

The Devil: Capricorn

   As ships go up and down, balancing on waves behind the juggler, life feels like an eternal dance. Mesmerized, you continue to stare at the performer, thinking of the harmony of the life forces. Suddenly you are standing in front of the Devil, who is perched on a block that chains a man and woman to him. “The fortunes of humanity constantly change. One moment you can be king, the next lower than the dust. The key is dancing through the changes with rhythm and balance.
   “Connected to powerful life forces, like an eternal child, the higher self handles the harshest conditions and the most tragic events. Though deeply affected by them, the higher self can eventually let go of the negativity and continue dancing. You do not have to be a king to have a spirit that maintains balance—you can be a humble worker or a simple juggler.

Wheel of Fortune: Jupiter

   “This is the wisdom of the sphinx on the Wheel of Fortune that continually turns in the eternal process of transformation and regeneration. In this state the elements within you remain integrated and golden, harmonious and incorruptible. You thrill to the life-forces as you revel in the dance. No matter your status or condition, you are a magnificent spiritual being, full of harmony and knowledge, rhythm and inner abundance, sympathy and love.”

Three of Cups

with Claire

   As Claire flew over what appeared to be a festival far below, she felt a little hungry and thought maybe someone below might share some food. As she slowly spiraled to the ground, she noticed women raising golden cups as they danced gracefully together to some lively music. When Claire reached the ground, she stood quietly, mesmerized by the lovely dance.

   One of the women noticed her. "Would you like to celebrate with us, child? Before you join us in the dance, however, you absolutely must partake of the abundance!" One of the women handed her grapes, another a pear, and the third an apple. Claire smiled as she savored the delicious fruit and observed the dance steps. Suddenly, as she realized that all of her senses were engaged, she felt one with the music. She drank from a golden cup and joined the women in the dance.

   Claire became more and more caught up in the spell as night fell. She felt that the world around her and the planet and the solar system were one with her in the dance. The entire cosmos was energy dancing in harmony. She glanced up at the stars and felt that even though she was tiny, she could be a magnificent and loving point of consciousness in the community of all life.
