Five of Pentacles
The Five of Coins indicates impending hardship, often a major financial setback that brings embarrassment and isolation. It highlights feelings of having to confront problems alone and difficulty facing oneself or asking for help. Reversed, it suggests that although money remains tight, the worst of the hardship may be ending and you are regaining agency over your circumstances. This does not promise immediate change but signals the start of a more positive relationship with money and gradual recovery.
Keywords
Upright
The Five of Coins signifies difficult times ahead. You may have suffered a major financial setback. Your dire circumstances are compounded by the accompanying embarrassment and isolation, and you feel as though you must confront your problems alone. You may find it difficult to face yourself, and for reasons you do not fully grasp, it is difficult to seek help.
Reverse
Money is tight, but you may find that your difficult times are coming to a close. The reversed Five of Coins signifies that you have regained some agency over your circumstances. Though this does not herald an immediate change in your life, it does mean a more positive relationship with money is coming.
Visual Description
A tall, pale woman in a flowing white gown and a crown of icicle-like points stands center-right, her long cloak trailing and partly held by a small blue child behind her. Five gold coins stamped with pentacles float and are set across the scene: one appears inside a cracked ornate mirror at upper left while four others lie or float around the figures. The background is a star-speckled night sky with layered blue hills and concentric arcs of stars and lines; the Roman numeral V appears at the top and the word "coins" at the bottom. Decorative star motifs and white latticework frame the card edges.
