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." - Gail Fairfield

Balance - ah what a wonderful thing.  Looking at this card I realize that balance is not something I'm especially good at achieving in my life.  I have a tendency to get overly involved in one thing to the detriment of other interests.  There is my doll phase - which rather crowded out my Tarot time.  Then I fell into a rabbit hole of bread baking and found myself on various quests for books and equipment.  Then there was my aromatherapy phase - a wonderfully fragranced obsession but an obsession nonetheless.

Of course I never completely lose these interests, I simply downgrade them a bit.  But that isn't exactly creating balance in my life. I also don't necessarily see the 2 of Pentacles as an overall life change, simply some practical, day-to-day changes that will make the day go smoother.  And I've already heeded its advice.

I have a tendency to lose myself in the computer (I know aren't you just shocked).  Today, instead of heading right for Facebook, I took some time to clean the house a bit.  Now I feel much better about my house and not guilty about being on Facebook.  This is a very good thing.  So I am capable of learning new tricks.  What a good old dog I am! ;D
