The Five of Pentacles tarot card meanings

The Five of Pentacles cart shows two people walking in the snow. They both suffer from poverty and have only rags to protect themselves from the cold. One person has severe head and foot injuries; therefore, he uses crutches. The second person is barefoot and covers his head from the harsh winter weather. They pass by the window of a church decorated with five pentacles; the light is on, and it’s undoubtedly very warm inside. It is a symbol of support, hope and desire to help. However, since two people are strongly focused on their way, they do not notice the available help.

Unfortunately, the map means serious financial problems and poverty. Basically, it affects material things, your work and wealth. You may have lost your job recently and are experiencing financial insecurity. You have lost almost everything in one moment which causes fear and deterioration of self-esteem in you. It is worth noting that, unlike a Major Arcana, Minor Arcana cards speak of temporary events, so a bad time will end soon.

The appearance of the Five of Pentacles can be interpreted as a feeling of loneliness and an intense concentration on your own problems. You think that no one wants to help you, but it is close as well as a warm church next to 2 people on the front side of the card. You just do not notice the good people and their actions as you are deeply immersed in their problems. Perhaps you are too proud and cannot ask for help, forget about this and go to your friends or relatives. Support is near; you must find it and accept it.

The problem is also in your negativity and exaggeration of problems. You would like to be better and have more, but you do not appreciate what you already have. Be more grateful, and in the future, you will be more satisfied with yourself and your life. A similar situation, when you are afraid of losing something important, although this has not happened yet and you have no prerequisites for such thoughts. The Five of Pentacles bewares that if you focus on the negative, it is more likely to happen.

Reversed

Alternatively, the card in a reversed position may mean that despite the abundance of things, you feel poor. You feel that you are missing something and are trying to understand this. Perhaps, in pursuit of material wealth, you forgot about spiritual development. As a “symptom” of this “disease,” the feeling of loneliness even in a crowded company can disturb you. Concerns about insufficient money may also arise. You can’t buy anything you want, so you feel unworthy. Perhaps, you are afraid that you can spend everything on trifles and you will not have enough money for significant things in the future. Negative thoughts only oppress you but do not move forward.

How to cope with the flow of negative thoughts? The Five of Pentacles recommends forcibly getting rid of the slightest idea that can hurt your confidence. Remember that wealth is important, but having a strong family, good relations with people and moral stability, you can replace material disadvantages with these. Now you can feel desperately, but it is worth remembering that this will not always be and your hopes for a bright future are real.
