"Balance isn't the question. What you do next is."
Six quick picks first, then your reading
A young man, in the act of dancing, has a pentacle in either hand, and they are joined by that endless cord which is like the number 8 reversed. Pentacles represents wealth and the two card represents balance. Together this card signifies that you must balance your priorities to continue your journey towards prosperity. Balance here meaning that some things will fall to the back when something else comes to the foreground.
When you are juggling, sometimes balls drop. You cannot always keep everything up, they must come back down. The two of pentacles calls us to decide ahead of time which ball we will drop. Sometimes this means prioritizing work over a relationship. If you are juggling multiple partners, responsibilities or commitments this card advises you to pick carefully what to focus on.
You've been balancing so many things for so long and forcing yourself to focus on everything. This is wearing you out and you feel you cannot let anything drop. Tensions are high and you are making mistakes or doing things that are unaligned with what you value. You must let some things drop so that you can continue to grow the things that will bring you true prosperity

Two of Pentacles for Sagittarius in Money and Wealth
The Seeker
Pentacles are the earth suit, so the Two of Pentacles sits in Capricorn. Capricorn sits directly beside Sagittarius, the one relationship a sign cannot see clearly because it is too close to get any distance on. What it asks for is this: change one concrete arrangement this week. The difficulty is noticing it is being asked at all. Upright, the second thing has actually arrived and the negotiation between them is live.
When reading about money through a Sagittarius lens, the Two of Pentacles says that you feel like money is the fuel for the next adventure, something you earn and spend in cycles, and less important than the freedom it temporarily buys. This has either let you stay flexible and take risks or has left you broke and restless and unable to imagine building something that lasts. You have not looked at your full financial picture all at once, and the not-looking costs more than the looking would. The Sagittarius blind spot in it is the specific weight of a single commitment, the slowness of actually building something, the possibility that it might not be enough.
In practice that can look like an unexpected bill, or a rainy day fund finally getting built. Whatever form it takes, it is becoming a two person situation.
