Five of Pentacles Tarot Card Meanings

Five of Pentacles shows two very poor and decrepit people who have very little in the way of money or financial security, outside in the cold. It shows these people have experienced loss of some type.

This card represents the need to think very carefully about any decisions that need to be made, as failure is likely if the wrong decision is made. Losses of a material nature could result, so think very carefully about any decisions that need to be made.

General Meaning

It is worth remembering that any difficulties you face have a shelf-life. Everything can and will change and no situation ever remains the same for long, even though it may seem that way at times. The Five of Pentacles warns against getting locked into a negative view of the world - perhaps imagining that people are against you or not there for you when you need them most. It is difficult to see things as they really are when life is heavy so be as accepting as you can of your hardship, realize that you are not alone and remember that miracles continue occurring all the while our heads are held low. Finally, when you make it to the other side of your difficulties, you will notice how important it was to keep a sense of perspective. Remember: "This too shall pass".
