Five of Pentacles
The Five of Pentacles signifies hardship, struggle, and a feeling of being lost or disconnected. It often represents difficult times such as job loss or emotional turmoil, but also suggests that relief and support are available just within reach. When inverted, the card indicates a positive change on the horizon, where one can finally begin to rise from the lows experienced. Prayer and intent are important aspects guiding the way towards recovery.

General Meaning
Down on your luck, being ill, being disconnected from hope. This card is really a punch in the stomach. All of those things that keep you up at night. All of those things that you can’t control that keep you up at night. You lost your job. You lost your love. The ground under your feet has shifted, and things are going to be difficult for a while. If you look at the Basic card, though, relief is right around the corner. The people are walking along the side of a church, and you can see the warm glow of the lights. Sanctuary is only a few steps further. The distractions are internal. You’re not grounded. If you can take a deep breath and lift your head, you’ll see the help waiting there for you.
Five of Pentacles Inverted
Things are looking up! I see this in readings where the client has hit rock bottom (Ten of Swords?) and can finally lift their head up and start climbing out of the hole. This isn’t saying that everything is super. Things don’t fall apart overnight and they won’t get better overnight, either. This is saying that the break you’ve been praying for is on its way. Prayer is a big part of this card—prayer, intent, whichever you’d like. When you pray or speak to the gods, it is traditional to be on your knees—and connecting to the earth that’s present in the pentacles.
