In the Minor Arcana, the Number 5 is associated with Mars, the destructive power that tends to upset the apple cart. Usually, this is a result of focusing on the wrong things. Here, the energies of Mars are like an earthquake: hard-hitting, but over quickly. Your ability to recover from such a setback depends on your willingness to rebuild. |

FIVE OF PENTACLES DESCRIPTION
Man and woman in the Five of Pentacles Tarot card are only wearing blue, green and brown, the colours of earth and water – i.s. the material and emotional worlds only.
In the Five of Pentacles, the stained glass window is your vision of how things should be, your ideals. All the elements are represented by their colours: yellow (air), red (fire), blue (water) and green (earth).
It’s a picture of complete harmony until you notice that the window in the Five of Pentacles Tarot card shows only the upper half of the Kabbalistic Tree of Life.
The man and woman are passing by the warm glow emitting from inside the church without looking towards it. Even the slightest glance in the right direction would remind them that a better life is very much possible in that the church represents our spiritual self.
The weary and battered couple in the Five of Pentacles is clad in only blue, green, and brown, the colors of earth and water – i.e. the material and emotional worlds only. They are completely absorbed in their personal soap operas.
The black night and raging snowstorm in the Five of Pentacles show that they are literally left out in the cold. Making matters worse, their progress has been slowed down by their crutches and bare feet.

General: In general, the 5 of Pentacles points to a feeling of being left out in the cold, as though everyone else in the world has everything and you are the only one that is suffering. Realize that this is not the case.
Do the best you can, with what you have, but remember that the wise thing to do, if one needs help, is to go out and ask for it. The help you need will come.
Work: Work can be either burdensome or non-existent when this card appears and you may be feeling stuck. Know that you do not have to stay in a situation that is not healthy or workable for you, have faith in yourself and the universe that changes are possible.
You don't have to do everything all on your own. If you need a new position, ask everyone you know for possibilities. Things will get better.
Love: The 5 of Pentacles is not a particularly happy indicator when it comes to love questions, unfortunately. You may have your eye on someone who you feel is not treating you the way they should.
It may be that you need to stop fantasizing about this person entirely. This card can be very much a card of feeling left out in the cold. It's important to remember that there is never only one person that we can be with and have a soul-level, happy, meaningful relationship.
Finances: You may feel as though all is lost with regard to money. Take a deep breath and re-think. You are not all alone with no help, even if you don't know anyone at all in your immediate surroundings.
Reconsider things, skills, and situations, that you may have dismissed. If you need financial help, don't be too proud to ask for it. There is always something that can be done to put food on the table. This period is temporary. Be sure you are getting good, workable advice.
Health: Due to other stressors, you may be blowing small health issues out of all proportion. Be sure to get things evaluated and then do the best you can to take care of them. Meditation and relaxation are key to improving your health. Meditate even if all you can manage is 30 seconds at a time.

REVERSED FIVE OF PENTACLES
|
When reversed, the Five of Pentacles Tarot card shows that a painful situation is about to end.
Maybe a new job will allow you to start paying down your debts or your doctor may tell you that you are on the road to recovery. Perhaps you’ve even found a way to make peace with God after having lost your faith. The 5 of Pentacles reversed can point to a time when you are about to move from feeling not very secure into feeling safer. Whether it's because you've realized the time has come to reach out to others or because you are beginning to see some concrete new prospects, this is a very good thing. General: In general, the reversed 5 of Pentacles says that in the recent past you may have felt "left out in the cold," as though everyone but you had everything made in the shade - but that feeling is passing. Your confidence should be beginning to renew now. Trust any reason you're feeling for being upbeat. Work: You may be moving beyond a place of feeling stuck when this card appears; new opportunities may suddenly be on the horizon. Don't hesitate, move forward with confidence. Yes, the period just behind you may have been a bit bleak, but that doesn't mean that the future will be bleak, too. Think positively and go after what you want and need. Love: For reasons unseen, you may feel something that has been holding you back sort of breaking free. Suddenly, you feel more open to love, more able to take the chance of being vulnerable and when this happens, almost magically, you may find yourself receiving more love. If you're already committed, the relationship may suddenly draw closer and become more pleasing. |

Finances: Especially if you've been worried about money, it seems as though the worry is about to lift. Something comes through that allows you to breathe easier. You will finally know, through and through, that you are going to be all right financially. Just do your part and don't hesitate to ask for help or advice if you need it.
Health: For no apparent reason, you may find yourself feeling much better physically. Worrying about your health helps nothing and in fact, tends to make you feel worse. Think positively and trust that this better health can last because it can. Support your health by eating well and exercising when you can.
