Dancing with the ChaoTwo of Coins===
[[File:Pents02.jpg|thumb]]
38. [[w:Two of Coins|Two of Coins.]] The sky is light-colored blue (things are not too difficult). On the path of life a man in a green dress and with green shoes dances with the ups and downs of his life. He wears red trousers, a red belt, a red skirt and a large red hat (love and wisdom). He's a good dancer. In his hands he juggles left and right a gold coin. The two coins are connected by a green band, which forms a horizontal eight. On the horizon we see big waves and two sailing ships. A ship passes up a wave and the other ship is flowing down. Life is an eternal up and down. A man of inner happiness dances wise with all events of life. Through his spiritual path, he stays in his inner balance. The two main spiritual techniques to get equilibrium (two gold coins) are regularly body exercises (yoga, meditation, walking) and mental exercises (self-reflexion, mind control, positive thinking).

Oracle = Flow flexible with the outer chaos and keep your inner balance. A master of his mind lives permanently anchored in the light (God, enlightenment) and dances wisely with all outward situations. Live in rest and act out of the rest. When the body is quiet, you can more easily hold your mind quiet. Stop your negative thoughts and focus on positive thinking. Do every day something nice that opens your heart. Forward. Optimism. Success. "My positive thought is ... (I´m a master of life. I live as a winner. I am always optimistic.)"

===A good PlanThree of Coins===
[[File:Pents03.jpg|thumb]]
39. [[w:Three of Coins|Three of Coins.]] A sculptor is working in a church on an ornate column. The church is a symbol for God, for a life in the light, for the big goal of enlightenment (lasting happiness). The column stands for the path to reach this goal. To succeed, we need a good plan. On the right we see the creator in the green cape  with a white scroll. Next to him stands the abbot of the monastery. We can look at him as our inner wisdom. At the top of the column are three coins. Our spiritual victory depends on a good plan, on a good contact to our inner wisdom and on a good self-discipline (the sculptor).

Oracle = Succeed with a good plan. With a good plan of life you will receive a successful life. With a good plan of the day you get a successful day. First set your goals. With what strategy you are victorious? Go forward in your speed. Give you enough rest and spiritual exercises (yoga, walking, meditation), so that your energy lasts for the whole day. Get also some enjoyment. "My goal is ... My successful strategy is ...(I succeed with love to my goal, self-discipline, enough rest and a little bit pleasure)."

===ContentmentFour of Coins===
[[File:Pents04.jpg|thumb]]
40. [[w:Four of Coins|Four of Coins.]] A rich king sits on a stone bench. He has four large coins. One coin he holds convulsively at his heart. The sky and the earth are gray. The king experiences his world as gray. He is not satisfied with himself and his life. His problem is that he doesn´t know how to get contentment. He doesn´t know how to live happily. The Greek philosopher Epicurus taught, that we have to limit our worldly desires, if we do not want to become its victims. We should define our point of enough. We should think about how much for us is necessary on external things. We should give it to us. And then we should find contentment and let no other external desires arise in us. When they arise, we should overcome by positive thinking.

Oracle = Nothing is taken for granted in the universe. Nothing really belongs to you. It is the right of life to take away everything at any time. Be content with what you have. There once was a Sufi Master who gave his students an apple with a bad spot and said, "This is the apple of paradise." The students focused on the bad spot and were dissatisfied. The master saw the whole apple and lived in paradise (in God). Limit your worldly desires. Find your point of enough. Today is a day of satisfaction. Be happy. Everything is good as it is.
 
===CompassionFive of Coins===
[[File:Pents05.jpg|thumb]]
41. [[w:Five of Coins|Five of Coins.]] Two poor people go through the snow. The woman is barefoot. She has no shoes. The man is hobbling and supported by crutches. Both suffer from the life. But the man in the blue cloak wears a bell around his neck. He is a man of knowledge. He knows the way of inner happiness. Him makes the external cold not much, because he is warm inside. With his knowledge, he can also help the woman. In the black night appears a shining church window with five gold coins. The world needs the five values ​​of wisdom, compassion, love, peace and happiness. Only through positive values, the inner and outer poverty of the people in the world can be overcome. The task of the wise is to share his wisdom with his fellow men.

Oracle =  Today helps you the way of compassion. It frees you from the attachment to your suffering. It opens your heart and heals yourself emotionally. Think more of others than to yourself. Concentrate more on the suffering of your fellow man than to your own suffering. Wish that all people in the world are happy. Live for this goal. A poor man helps another. So both get into the light. If you just look at the world around you, then you know where your help is needed. Forward. Success on the path of compassion and universal love. For people in relationships this card means that they should form a team of happiness. If both work together positively, they can get a happy relationship. They should accept the suffering in their lifes and focus on the development of inner happiness.

===Give and Be HappySix of Coins===
[[File:Pents06.jpg|thumb]]
42. [[w:Six of Coins|Six of Coins.]] A merchant gives two poor people some of his wealth. He is standing and the poor are sitting. He can act and they not. The poor can not help themselves. They can not rescue themselves from poverty. They need the help of the merchant. Only the merchant has the potential to which the poor can be saved. Around him are six gold coins like a halo. The merchant gives the poor with his right hand. In his left hand he holds a scale. He gives every poor exactly what he needs. One poor has a green and the other a blue cape. The green poor needs love and hope. The blue poor needs strength and self-discipline.

Oracle = Giving is today your way to happiness. Recognize that you are rich. Share your wealth with the suffering  world. Help the poor. Help spiritual and material. What possibilities do you have to do good? What is your deed of love today? It makes you happy when you give what to whom? Success. Move a hand in blessing and think, "I send light to (name). May all people be happy. May the world be happy."

===Relax and Be ContentSeven of Coins===
[[File:Pents07.jpg|thumb]]
43. [[w:Seven of Coins|Seven of Coins.]] A man stands in front of a green vine. Everything grows well. The fruits are not yet discernible. The wine growers has to wait. He puts his chin on the handle of his hoe. The farmer can only let life take its course.  Everything else now depends on the sun, on the right moisture and ultimately on the fate. The cosmos is the master of the fate and not the farmer. The dress and the shoes of the farmer are green. He is full of hope and optimism. A yogi can make each day just his physical and mental exercises. He can not force the harvest. Enlightenment comes of the grace of the cosmos. The seven coins refer to the seven main chakras of a human being. When the seven chakras are released from their tensions, the energy rises up in the kundalini energy channel. The yogi then feels internally happy like a vine full of grapes. When the energy reaches the crown chakra, the mind of the yogi unites with God. He wakes up in a life in the light. 

Oracle = Come to rest after the hard work. Relax. Hand over the results to God (to life). Everything evolves by itself. Be content with yourself. Everything is fine as it is. 

===DiligenceEight of Coins===
[[File:Pents08.jpg|thumb]]
44. [[w:Eight of Coins|Eight of Coins.]] A craftsman sits on a wooden bench and worked diligently eight gold coins. In his hands he holds a hammer and a chisel. With the chisel he imprints to the gold coins the drawing of stars. The craftsman works for a happy world. He is a Bodhisattva (Karma Yogi). He works not for his ego, but for the happiness of all people. He works for the enlightment of his fellow men and thereby gets enlightenment himself (six chakras on the tree of enlightenment, one is in work and one is for the world). So he tranforms himself by working for a happy world into a life in the light. He is wearing a dress made ​​of four colors. He is successful with the qualities wisdom, love, self-discipline and optimism (hope).

Oracle = Diligently working forward. Steady patience with achievement kept in mind. Get yourself into the light. Realize your inner happiness and lead your people into to the light. Connect yourself every day with the enlightened Masters (God), listen to your inner voice (feeling of correctness) and find your way to a fulfilled life. "My goals are ... My way to success is ..." The light is with you. Ahead with self-discipline and perseverance. Success.

===The MistressNine of MCoinds===
[[File:Pents09.jpg|thumb]]
45. [[w:Nine of Coins|Nine of Coins.]] The Mistress of mind stays in front of us in an orange dress decorated with flowers. She holds a tamed falcon on her left fist. The falcon is her own spirit. She controls her thoughts. She masters her mind and her life. Right and left are growing two trees. The land ist green and the sky around her head is yellow. The mistress of mind has activated her Kundalini energy (the right and left Kundalini channel) and lives in the light (in peace, love and happiness). With her right hand she touches nine golden coins, which lie on the ground. She is surrounded by mature vines. The golden coins and the vines symbolizes enlightenment, inner happiness, a successful life. She carries on her head a red cap. She goes the way of all-embracing love and  lives as a Karma Yogini (Bodhisattva) for the goal of a happy world. A small snail at her feet says slowly with small steps forward. The mastery of the mind is a long way.   

Oracle = What spiritual practices help you (yoga, meditation, walking, positive thinking)? What is your problem? How can you solve it? Work on your thoughts. Be a Mistress of your mind. "My way of a succesful life is ..." Slowly forward. Success.

===The Old Master in the Backgrounden of Coins===
[[File:Pents10.jpg|thumb]]
46. [[w:Ten of Coins|Ten of Coins.]] The old master with white hair sits inconspicuously in an archway at the entrance of the city (the world of wordly people). He wears a coat of red grapes (inner happiness) and magical characters (spiritual knowledge). Ten coins form a picture of the enlightenment tree. The old master is enlightened. He lives in God (unity consciousness), in rest (inner peace) and in happiness. Before the master we see two white dogs (his spiritual disciples). He helps his people, but he lives in another dimension. He keeps himself secluded from the world of addiction energies and can thus keep his enlightenment energy.  

Oracle = Stay in the background. Remain unobtrusively. Do not get caught up in the struggles of the worldly people. Help them as a secret Master. Mainly help the people who want your help. Help through the power of your arguments and not through negative emotions. Occur not as a Master, but as a friend of all beings. Go the way of all-embracing love. Appear small and friendly. Behave unobtrusive and modest. Then you win.

===Think about YourselfPage of Coins===
[[File:Pents11.jpg|thumb]]
47. [[w:Page of Coins|Page of Coins.]] A young man in a green dress (hope) with a red hat (love) holds a large gold coin in front of his face. He looks at his richness, his potential, his way of happiness. He reflects on himself and his goals in his life. He creates a positive vision (concept) of himself. He wants to be a Buddha, a Goddess, an Enlightened. The sky is yellow (optimism). The land is green (growth). And at the horizont we see the blue mountain of enlightenment.

Oracle = Self-reflection. Take you as you are. The spiritual path always starts at the point where you are right now. Accept you with your faults and weaknesses. You may be small. You may be sad and afraid. You may have flaws. Even a small can win spiritually when he connects himself with the enlightened Masters and consistently follows the voice of his inner wisdom. What we lack in spiritual forces, we get it from the enlightened Masters. They give us the energy we need for spiritual victory. Think the mantra, "Om all enlightened Masters. Om inner wisdom. Please guide and help me on my way." Think about yourself and your richness (potential, skills, goals). What do you want in your life? What are your wishes? What are your goals? What is your way of wisdom, love and happiness? Optimism. The light is with you. Success.

===Do Your JobKnight of Coins===
[[File:Pents12.jpg|thumb]]
48. [[w:Knight of Coins|Knight of Coins.]] A knight sits on a black horse. Next to him is a brown field. The field must be cultivated. The knight holds a golden coin in his hands. He got the seed of happiness. He has to plant it. Then the field will bring a good harvest, the harvest of a fulfilled life (enlightenment, happiness). The helmet of the knight is decorated with oak leaves, as is the forehead of the horse. The Knight is a winner. He has the necessary skills to win (knowledge, self-discipline, love of the target). To achieve his goals, the knight must bring a sacrifice. He must give up something in order to win. The horse is black. Black is the color of mourning, the resolving of the ego and the entry into the cosmic consciousness. The knight has to go through the darkness to get into the light. The sky is yellow. Optimism. The light (God, the enlightened Masters) is with him. 

Oracle = Do your job. Work on your field. Set plants of happiness, remove all weeds, care every day for your inner growth, live in love, do good and harvest a life of happiness.

Thus she awakes her Kundalini energy, gets a paradise feeling of the world around her and becomes inwardly happy.
