Meaning

You went off to war, risking it all and putting your money where your mouth is, but it all ended in failure. You find yourself beaten and destitute, maybe even broken, but you are not alone. You will always have the opportunity to rebuild.

Visual Description

A procession of red-coated soldiers with white trousers marches across a cobbled street; some wear shakos bearing a pentacle emblem. In the center of the image a rectangular inset shows a stooped, bearded man on crutches bundled in ragged clothes, his face drawn and weary. The cobblestones fill the foreground and a church spire rises in the background behind the marchers. Along the bottom edge the title 'FIVE of PENTACLES.' is printed in capital letters.
