Five of Pentacles
Upright
The Five of Pentacles represents material hardship, financial loss, and the feeling of being 'left out in the cold'. It is a card of spiritual and physical depletion where you may be struggling to meet your basic needs. However, the message of the card is that help is available if you can look beyond your pride and current suffering. This is a time of endurance and the realization that your internal spirit is not defined by your bank account.
Reversed
In the reversed position, the Five of Pentacles indicates the beginning of recovery from a period of scarcity and the end of a difficult material cycle. You are finding the resources to rebuild your life and are beginning to see 'the light at the end of the tunnel'. This card suggests that the worst of your financial or physical struggles is over, provided you are willing to accept the support that is now presenting itself.
