Card 68 • pentacles

Five of Pentacles

Brief Description

The Five of Coins depicts a weary figure traversing frozen streets beneath the glow of a church window that seems to hold unreachable riches, symbolizing exclusion and material hardship. Upright, it signals financial struggle, adversity, destitution, and a poverty mindset that fosters feelings of being an outcast. Reversed, it offers hope: recovery, improvement, the repayment of debts, and the sense of a light at the end of a dark tunnel. Overall, the card urges acknowledgement of hardship while pointing to possible acceptance and practical steps toward restoration.

Visual Description

A single cloaked figure in tattered robes walks hunched against falling snow, head bowed and shoulders wrapped tightly. A rectangular patch is sewn onto the cloak and the hands are bony and curled against the chest. Behind the figure a Gothic-style arched window displays five gold coins arranged within stained glass, and a ledge beneath the window is rimed with icicles. The background is a red-brick wall flecked with snow, and the bottom border names the card "FIVE·OF·COINS."
