Card 68 • pentacles

Five of Pentacles

Brief Description

The Five of Pentacles depicts two figures in the snow outside a lit church, conveying material hardship and spiritual isolation. The church's window displays five pentacles and light falls on the figures, suggesting help or shelter is present even if it feels out of reach. Upright, the card highlights lack of faith, hopelessness, worry about finishing, alienation, and being left out. Reversed, it encourages asking for help, being open to omens and support, depending on others, and moving beyond the fear of poverty toward a more joyous life.

Visual Description

Two ragged, cloaked figures stumble through deep snow beneath a gothic arched window that holds five pentacles arranged in a cross. A Roman numeral V is carved above the window and a scroll at the bottom bears Cyrillic text "Материальные проблемы" and a small "TAROSHOP.RU" mark. The scene is cold, dim, and wintry, with wind and snowfall blurring edges and pooling around the figures' feet. One figure leans on a staff while the other hunches forward, both wrapped against the elements and passing by the illuminated panes.
