I. Five of Pentacles Rider Waite image description

Five of Pentacles, just like the other number five cards, depicts adversity. On this card, there is a poor couple walking in the snow with the background is the stained-glass window of a church. The church is a symbol of optimistic spiritual resources, helping people who are not able to help themselves. The man is on crutches because he is crippled and the woman tries to keep her body warm with a thin shawl. Both seem to be living in poverty.

Two characters on the Five of Pentacles card are miserable, hungry, tired, sick and poor in the cold winter. What they are experiencing makes us feel as if the minimum needs of life are not even met. Those who have a prosperous and fortunate life may never have experienced such a situation, but we can still feel clearly the suffering. Obviously, when our basic demands are not met, it is no different from pain.

This card also implies a step backward on material and financial aspects. There is one thing for sure, your life will become very burdensome if you lack money or do not have a good job. When we struggle to meet our own basic needs, all other problems will become even more serious. Even if we have a comfortable life, we are still a little insecure and afraid that someday, the misfortune will sweep away what we have struggled to achieve so far.

The Five of Pentacles can also carry the message of denial, rejection or disapproval. People are individuals in a collective, who know how painful it is to be rejected by the community. We want to be engaged with others not only to satisfy our own emotional nature but also to find mutual support. Rejection can also become a difficult physical experience.

It also implies a mental shortage. According to the window in the card, it was possible to guess the two people walking silently were outside of a church. Apparently, the peace was in their reach, but they could not see it. The church is a place that clearly symbolizes our soul. People are born to enjoy the fullness of all areas of life but sometimes, we forget that it is an obvious human right. Whenever you fall into a predicament, always remember that it is just momentary. You should look for places that will keep you stable in terms of spirit, welcome you and at least offer you a safe shelter.

Introduce

The Five of Pentacles may indicate the moment when life becomes insecure. It is important to remember that you can always find help whenever you need it, from both tangible and intangible sources. Although you may feel lonely, you still have the ability to change your status.

Overview

In general, this card represents the feeling of abandonment in the cold night as if you are the only one suffering while everyone else in the world has everything. You should be aware that everything is not as you think. You should take advantage of what you have and also remember that a wise person will know how to ask for help from outside.

Work

In terms of work, there are two possibilities that either your current job is a burden or you cannot find a job and your mind is stuck in a deadlock. You do not need to confine yourself to an unhealthy or unfavorable situation. Believe in yourself and the Universe (Destiny) that every change and improvement can happen. You do not need to do everything by yourself. If you want a new job position, talk to the people involved. Things will gradually improve, just keep hanging there.

Love

In terms of love, the Five of Pentacles is not a sign of happiness. Maybe, you are falling for someone who does not treat you right. It is possible that you should stop feeling for that person. Apparently, this card evokes a feeling of abandonment in the cold. In this world, there is more than one person who can match you, share with you all bitterness, sweetness, and maintain a long-term relationship with you. When love comes at the right time and with the right people, it will grow in a good way. You should expand your mental horizon in a positive direction. You deserve to be loved!

Finance

You may experience a feeling of losing money. You should carefully consider what things, skills or circumstances you may have missed. If you need financial help, make a request. The current time is just momentary. You just need to make sure you are getting good and effective advice.

Health

Other stress factors may be making your minor health problems become serious. You need to make sure that you can evaluate everything (even if you have neither a lot of money nor health insurance, there are always appropriate treatments as long as you are consistent), and try your best to control each issue one by one. Meditation and relaxation are the keys to improving your health.

Mentality

In fact, there are no difficulties/advantages that exist forever, especially if you are going through a difficult period to which Five of Pentacles refers. You should also keep your mind on the fact that we all have connections and allowing others to help you is also giving them (and giving you) a chance to receive joy and blessing. You should not insist on doing everything alone. Things will get better if you have faith.

Situation and advice

You may feel yourself being treated coldly. You may be financially stressed and may be falling into hard times. If your financial status is stable, you will realize that money cannot buy love. You may be biting off more than you can chew. At this point, it is the time to get rid of useless spending and other restrained situations in life.

This card shows the possibility that you are wasting your talents. In terms of career/business, the Five of Pentacles warns you to avoid risks due to the loss of money. A legal situation can lead to financial loss. Concerns about practical difficulties are preventing you from seeking spiritual guidance and mental comfort. If you ask about the relationship, it probably will not last long.
