A woman stripped of clothing and dignity passes by a lit church, guided by community, symbolizing the need to overcome idealism or unmet expectations that may cause rejection of available assistance. The card emphasizes that accepting generosity with gratitude benefits everyone involved, while the reversed meaning suggests being the one who leaves others in the cold and calls for forgiveness and opening one's heart to help loved ones.

Upright Meaning

A woman, stripped of clothing and pride, passes by a lit church, guided by community. The Five of Pentacles warns against pride. Idealism or unfulfilled expectations may have caused you to reject those who could help. Although help is symbolized by the glowing church windows, this doesn't necessarily refer to religion—family or friends are capable of providing you with financial or emotional assistance. Accept it. The consequences you fear are imaginary, because if you accept generosity with gratitude, everyone will benefit.

Reversed Meaning

The reversed Five of Pentacles indicates that you yourself are leaving someone out in the cold. This is a time to forgive and forget old grievances; things happen in life that make you want to punish, but not in this case. Empty quarrels aren't worth your energy. Open your heart and help the one you love.
