Two of Disks – Change; Divinatory Meanings
Change means to exchange or convert something, to substitute on for another. A reciprocal exchange.
The Two of Disks shows the interchange of the new and old, which usually goes around in circles. You want to make the change, but you have not committed to either the old or the new so you experience uncertainty. The solution is to either stop and take stock, or take a direction. Either way, going round in circles is a waste of energy.
Picatrix is the clear inspiration for this card.
Book of Thoth – Change: Two of Disks
The Two of Pentacles was of old time called the Lord of Harmonious Change. Now, more simply, Change; and here the doctrine must be stated a little more clearly. This suit being of Earth, there is a connection with the Princesses, and therefore with the final Heh of Tetragrammaton. Earth is the throne of Spirit; having got to the bottom, one immediately comes out again at the top. Hence, the card manifests the symbolism of the serpent of the endless band.
