Five of Pentacles

Five of Pentacles as Feelings

Five of Pentacles is a card of desperation and despair.  It has a sense of being the poorest church mouse left out in the cold. You watch your friends from afar, feeling less and less like you are part of their lives. This card may appear in your tarot reading if you’re in a different stage of life from your friends, particularly if they are moving off, getting married, or having children. Even though these are natural changes that we many of us experience, the Five of Pentacles implies that the distance you’re feeling is a consequence of your actions. Although you can’t help how your friends evolve, you should make an effort to stay close and embrace change.

 All of the 5’s represent struggles that are the results of bad choices. It can be a reminder to rely on your higher power, which is always within your grasp.  Instead of rolling over and letting your relationships fade away, grab ahold of the reins of your life and show your friends how much you love them. Do this, and you may soon see the Three of Pentacles, a card of collaboration and completion, replace the Five of Pentacles in your readings.

Five of Pentacles Love Meaning

Times are tough, but you and your partner still have each other. It is the two of you against the world. The Suit of Pentacles is often associated with money, but I find they often come up in very emotional readings because when our money is on our mind, our heart is often on our sleeve as well.

Sometimes it is hard to tell the difference between financial or emotional troubles.

A relationship under financial strain is being tested for all it is worth. If take the advice of the Six of Pentacles and share the burden equally with your partner, you’ll find that the Five of Pentacles is less daunting.

Five of Pentacles’ Money Meaning

You are starting to recognize the value of money now that you don’t have it. You long for the financial stability of the Ten of Pentacles, but it eludes you. There is a rhythm and flow to money but it hides from people who would hoard it. 

Financial hardship is something we all go through but our attitude around money determines how often we wrestle with it. You will never be the provider, the King of Pentacles, if you convince yourself that wealth is eternally out of your reach. Earning money takes dedication and consistency, and you can’t accomplish that if your mind is already set against you.

Sometimes we need to receive charity to understand how important it is to give when we do experience abundance again.

Five of Pentacles Health Meaning

The Five of Pentacles tarot card meaning tells you it is time to pull in your horns a little bit, Make sure that all the calories are counted, all the workouts are worked, and you are doing the things you need to do to get the results you want. You need the patience and practice of the Eight of Pentacles to get it right. Right now, you are living with the results past choices, poorly made.

This pentacles card indicates you are feeling impoverished on all levels. 

You have been so busy putting one foot in front of the other and getting on with getting on that you have done a terrible job of taking care of yourself. 

It’s not so much that you have bad luck as it is a message from the universe that it is time to realign yourself with your higher purpose and your higher power. 

The body seeks balance in all things. It is when we feel the best. Perhaps it is time to slow down and spend some resources on getting yourself back into an abundant and balanced state.

The Five of Pentacles Reversed can be seen as the light at the end of the tunnel – especially when we are willing to confront our own shadow side and evolve with grace.

Ultimately, this card encourages us to re-evaluate our spiritual relationship, nurture it and use it as a source of strength as we work through difficult times.
