The Two of Coins, or the Two of Pentacles, is a card which, when upright, means to juggle, to struggle in a positive influence, to balance, to maintain. To keep your head up but feel like you want to jump out of your skin. It symbolizes an internal mental struggle, being unsure, not knowing your path during ascension.
The reversed card indicates imbalances, excess juggling, excess struggle; the advice of the card is to redress balance.

Part of a whole set; rather than posting yet another copy of the entire spread, I will direct you to the submission of

A minor arcana card is very fitting for Shaaria, because she tries not to be the protagonist of her adventures, and instead aims to be a supporting character with a seemingly uncanny knack for being in the right place at the right time. You can see this in my book where she joins an existing adventurer group and offers assistance, rather than trying to lead or direct them herself.
She also has to juggle a lot of things when she is on her journeys - balancing how much assistance she gives vs. staying her hand so that her companions can grow stronger, for instance. Every part of being a Planeswalker is, to her, a delicate balancing act of providing just the right amount of assistance without taking on too many responsibilities or solving too many problems on behalf of others. It is very much the epitome of 'struggling in a positive influence', and despite her extensive experience, she still wrestles with uncertainty and not knowing for sure what path to take. Similarly, this can all too easily become too much and require taking a step back to address imbalance, or to allow balance to reassert itself, even when doing so might be difficult or costly.
Too much assistance, and those she is helping will grow dependent on her. Not enough assistance, and they will fail in their goals. Thus, she must strike a balance on her journeys between worlds, a theme that I wanted to encapsulate with the visual design of this card, and the artist, WanderlustDragon, did a fantastic job of capturing it.
There's lots of other cool designs in the rest of the set too - be sure to check it out! The full-res image of that one is like 63MB so it'll have to get hosted offsite somewhere but I imagine the description will get updated when it is.
