Cosmic Tribe Tarot
TWO OF PENTACLES
Evolution, Adaptation, Change, Movement
The only constant in life is change. Life is an infinity of cycles rubbing and flowing into and out of one another, endlessly spinning experiences into its web. The key to thriving in this ever-expanding universe is combining adaptability and mobility into your sense of self. Evolve as you will, all the while keeping an eye on a point just above the mayhem. By being born into this life, you agreed to participate in the changes. Change is the law. Change cannot be stopped, at best it can be directed.
In the card, a butterfly figure rises out of the chaos of confusing colors and into the relative clarity of the sky where it leads a life of liberated consciousness. Its body evolves from rings of energy to become a solid form. This is the spirit of life manifesting within the limits of time. One of the wings of the butterfly is red and the other is green, opposite on the color wheel and representing the dualities of existence. From the wings, owl eyes pierce the horizon witnessing the mad miracle of life. Below the figure, uroboros the snake eats its tail in a cycle of everlasting and expanding change. The yin/yang eye of the snake is a symbol of the human understanding of the unity of opposites. The energy released from this unity makes the butterfly's transformation possible and evolves through time from chaos into being, from being into consciousness, and from consciousness into emergence.
