Be careful about listening to that imp whispering in your ear - Page of Wands R (Halloween & Bohemian Gothic)

Twos symbolize formation, polarity and the coming together of opposites. Pentacles are associated with the material world, acquisitions of wealth and possessions, our connection to Earth and Nature, sensation, matters pertaining to the physical plane and the element of earth. Pentacles can also be connected with practicality, groundedness and being realistic. Affirming and nurturing a new form of financial or material security. Conserving and maintaining physical resources or physical energy. Saying "yes" to a new direction for home, career, money, resources or your physical body.
"Recognizing and affirming the need for a new security base; nurturing and confirming a particular direction that would help to establish a different pattern of stability in my life; choosing and affirming a new kind of groundedness or inner stability; rigidity; refusing to accept the inevitable; the balance shifts in an unexpected direction; caught off guard; wrong decisions are made due to confusion from stress and carelessness; long held positions can no longer be defended; anxiety in the face of change." - Gail Fairfield
There is a sense of whimsy and silliness in both these images. The woman standing beside a bicycle in the Bohemian Gothic card looks a bit overdone in her riding costume. And the old-fashioned bicycle adds another touch of the bizarre to the image. The sign behind her reads "Dr. Caligari's Cabinet of Curiosities". As though the curiosity factor is an important key to this card.
Looking at these images the key sense that I get is one of imbalance and being overwhelmed. I can't keep these pumpkins in the air or stay on the bike any longer. They are no longer fun. I think this speaks to my recent sense of aimlessness and ennui. I'm just not feeling the same level of enthusiasm and excitement I once did. I think I'm getting tired of juggling. In fact the phrase "I'm dancing as fast as I can" popped into my head as I was considering this card. I think I'm feeling a sense of futility and lack of focus right now. Part of that is due to the fact that I think I know what I truly want to do but I'm not taking any steps to manifest it right now. Perhaps this card is telling me to stop playing around with myself and start actualizing these goals of mine.
