The Dying Alone in the Cold Card
I think of this card as a choice. Two figures, down on their luck, struggle through harsh weather. If they continue in this state, it is likely their condition will worsen; they might even die of exposure. Behind them, a church window glows with warmth and light. The church is a place where they could stop, seek out relief, and make it through the night. Will they notice this place of respite, or are they too stuck in their pain to see it? If they do, will they be willing to accept the hospitality?
Acknowledgment of Hard Times
The Five of Pentacles asks you to acknowledge that you have come upon hard times. It strongly suggests that help is available to you. There are no trophies for misery. Are you depressed? Find a therapist. Are you injured or sick? Seek medical attention. Do you need a friend? You probably have friends—call them. Are you in denial about a relationship, or afraid to leave a toxic partner? It’s time to make a change.
Accept Help
There are people who love and will offer you support. You are not alone in this. Whatever your cold dark night is, seek warmth and assistance. Accept help.
