When you think of the “negative” Tarot Cards, you may think of The Tower (The House of God) or the Ten of Swords… and not the Five of Pentacles. However, the situation of the two characters here is really not enviable.
The Five of Pentacles refers to a difficult and painful period marked by need and lack.
This poverty can be manifested in everything that the Pentacles represents: financial poverty of course but also poverty in health, energy level, skills or even a lack of friendly support.
Thus, the Five of Pentacles is the Card of bad times, difficult times that can strike at any time. When he appears in a Draw, it’s time to imagine the worst case scenario so you can prepare for it. Now is the time to put some money aside, take care of yourself, and if necessary ask friends or a professional for help.
If you are already in this bad patch, the Five of Pentacles indicates that a solution exists. Help is at your fingertips, even if you don’t currently realize it. The Five of Pentacles can also send you back to your fear of being alone or abandoned. You may feel left out of the collective – family, professional, societal – and you have a great need for support and reassurance to come back to the group little by little.
Unsurprisingly, in a Draw involving money and finances, the Five of Pentacles is not a good omen. The Card announces financial loss, money problems or even the loss of your job. You have been warned. This is the point of the Five of Pentacles in your Drawing. Be aware that spending thoughtlessly, investing, or making a decision with a huge financial impact is not advisable at this stage. On the contrary, plan ahead to save and consider fallback solutions. In the midst of the storm, don’t hesitate to ask for help. You can count on the generosity of your personal network and on the help provided by society.
In a Tarot reading concerning the domain of love, the Five of Pentacles indicates that you have all the difficulties in the world to find happiness and contentment.
If you’re looking for a partner, dating isn’t the way you want it to be. “It doesn’t fit” between you and the suitors. You’ve exhausted your relationship network and you’re running out of ideas. It is also possible that you have too many things in mind to devote yourself to this love search. If you have financial problems, they should be managed as a priority to free up time and energy for the other later.
If you are in a relationship, you are probably going through a difficult time. The Five of Pentacles is * the * card of co-dependency, a relational mode in which one partner relies too much on the other, preventing them from unfolding their full potential. As a couple, it is also possible that your relationship has become very difficult to live with, especially if financial worries are involved. You feel very lonely, unable to move your relationship in the right direction. Your partner certainly suffers from it too.
Stress is very dangerous. Try to focus on your mental health so you will prevent falling into anxious states and depression.
