Five of Pentacles

This is known as the “poverty” card. You’re in the middle of or coming up on some hardships regarding money, family, or health. In the case of family, it can point to a silent treatment or otherwise withdrawal of affection. Getting this card in a reading is usually a sign to “come home.” For some people, that means church. If that’s not true for you, ask what you can return to to feel whole again. It could be a physical location, as easily as it could be a line of thinking you once had. Five cards often represent challenging times regardless of suit. When it’s a Pentacles card, the hard time will be around material resources whether it’s money or personal reserves such as energy level. Life is made of peaks and valleys, and the Five of Pentacles represents a valley in the middle of a journey.

Five of Pentacles Reversed

Represented in Spoopy Tarot by an insect coming towards you, this card signifies a feeling or situation defined deeply by lack. This isn’t a fleeting moment, but a steady poverty that has overtaken hope. At the very worst times, it’s a sign of a relationship that’s turned abusive. At other times, it’s a depression marked by the total rejection of all things spiritual. The situation in the Five of Pentacles reversed almost always hurts physically even if it’s a mental or emotional poverty. One of the best things you can do now is seek stability or organization. A home with predictable ups and downs, as well as a tidy living space, will improve your mood. When this card is reversed, all that’s being asked of you is to show kindness towards your state of being.
