Two of Pentacles reversed

Two of Pentacles in love and relationships
Upright: Balancing love with work, family, or other obligations may be on your mind. A connection can thrive here if both of you stay playful and flexible about time and attention.
Reversed: Mixed priorities or a chaotic schedule may leave a relationship feeling neglected. If someone keeps you on the back burner, ask whether you're a priority or just another ball in the air.
