Five of Pentacles
Five of Pentacles
A test of endurance
A crisis of resources. The Five of Pentacles speaks of need, cold, and rejection. Yet help is nearby if you lift your head to see it.
Introduction
The Five of Pentacles marks the breakdown of the Four. The fortress walls fall or become a prison. Its meaning is financial loss, illness, or a feeling of abandonment. This is the dark night of the soul in the material world.
Love and relationships
Feeling unwanted. Love in a shack with a leaking roof. Shared money troubles that test the bond.
Career and work
Job loss, bankruptcy, a failed project. Feeling undervalued. Professional burnout.
Money and finances
No money, debts, strict austerity. Loss of income.
Spiritual path
A crisis of faith. A feeling of abandonment. Suffering that burns away pride.
Conclusion
The Five of Pentacles teaches humility and mutual aid. Poverty is not a shame, it is a lesson. Do not fear asking, and you will be given. Do not fear giving, and your hand will not run dry.
I know the universe supports me. I am open to help.
