Five of Pentacles
Hardship and need
The Five Of Pentacles
The system you built for your survival has failed you, and the pressure is mounting. There is a severe lack in what you need, can afford, and what’s available to you. This is the time of struggling and adversity. Be tight with your resources and dictate every bill and investment that come to you. Cut any unnecessary losses that can further ruin you.
Something you relied on could have fallen thought, such as a job or a loan. Ask for help at this point from anyone available to you. If there is no one, ask the universe. Remember, eventually something has got to give.
Time may not be something you have, you could be lacking, or your health could be in question right now. Just hold fast and assess all your options, there may be institutions that you are not even considering as an option at the moment. There’s no shame in getting bailed out.
You are down and out from the struggle of life. Something may have prevented you from working which cut too deep into your resources. Perhaps being sick, or dealing with something in your personal life. Perhaps you focused too hard at a side-gig which effected your professional life.
Regardless, it is pretty evident there is a severe lack right now. The cupboards are dwindling, you are cutting back on essentials at this point. Skipping bills that are not necessary /now/.
Everything is at risk, it feels like; nothing is safe. It feels like you can lose everything at any moment. This level of poverty is putting your mental wellness at risk.
Due to your current status, you may feel left out in the cold as you face the hardships in life. Someone may have actually turned their back on you which left you in this state or detriment. There maybe a breakup, heartbreak or separation that put you here. This may even symbolize homelessness.
The positive way to look at this card, is you’re at a turning point. Things can’t be horrible forever and you can only hit rock bottom so many times until you’re on bedrock. Then there’s no where to go, but up.
