VERSION 2.0 IN PROGRESS

Two of Coins
+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+

A man juggles two coins in a green rope at the end of a cane. In the distance, two boats ride on a wavy sea.

My Interpretation: Harmony in the midst of conflict and change. Successfully balancing conflicting priorities. Control maintained in a stressful situation. Temper kept under control - tact and diplomacy will see you through difficult times. (Reversed: A poor investment, debt and financial worry)

Edit notes to self: I've changed images from my v1.0 version to suit Rider Waite readers more. Still to do - quite happy with it.
