Five of Pentacles: Tarot Card Meaning and Description

Five of Pentacles: General Meaning

Direct position

Most often, the five of pentacles is a symbol of anxiety. It can be motivated anxiety - business difficulties, too much workload, great responsibility, the risk of losing something of value, as well as causeless fears - phobias, depression.

At the same time, usually a card in this position falls out to people who are inclined to live with sensations, one day, without clear plans and calculations for the future. In this case, the card indicates that the cause of concern lies precisely in such a life position.

In a positive aspect, the card can mean a period of trials, the purpose of which is to prepare a person for a new stage of his existence, to develop and strengthen him mentally. In this sense, the card calls to meet the blows of fate with dignity, to go to conscious self-restraint, to show patience and endurance.

Reversed position

In an inverted position, the card has a rather optimistic meaning. Most often, the appearance of a card in this position indicates that at the moment the fortuneteller has a “black streak” in life, but it is already ending.

In this case, the appearance of this lasso should be taken as a recommendation to treat problems philosophically, to show patience, because soon things will start to get better by themselves.

The Five of Pentacles says that the fortuneteller has already found a solution to the problem, or it will come to him in the near future. This may be his own action, and third-party influence.

Five of Pentacles: Meaning in love and relationships

Direct position

In divination for love and relationships, the card speaks of distrust, suspicion, a crisis stage in a relationship. This can be either a problem of one of the partners (jealousy, dissatisfaction, some kind of suspicion), or a general decline in relationships that “did not work out”.

Very often, the card says that in a pair, one of the partners is inclined to create problems for the other - overloads him with his complaints or requires some kind of unmotivated restrictions.

Reversed position

In an inverted position, the five of pentacles indicates a difficult stage in a relationship, caused by very specific reasons. Most often, this is a misunderstanding of the foundations on which relationships should be built.

However, the card indicates a solvable problem, one from which you can successfully “get out” if you want it and correctly identify the source of evil.

In some cases, the card may also indicate that the peak of the crisis in relations has already been passed, or that the existing problems will not violate them.

Five of Pentacles: Meaning in Situation and Question

Direct position

The map indicates an unstable, unreliable position. So, if a business situation was considered, it can be interpreted as a kind of event, which can equally well lead to career growth and dismissal (for example, it can be an audit). She also indicates that a person will have to go through some event that he is afraid of (an exam, an interview, a move, a transition to a new position).

It is not worth interpreting the card as an omen of failure - it only says that the person is afraid of the upcoming event, but it is not necessarily really scary.

In addition, instability is good because it cannot last long. The Five of Pentacles indicates that all problems will soon be resolved (but good or bad is the question).

The map has a really bad meaning in the layouts for health - it promises a sharp deterioration in it, a serious (even life-threatening) illness.

Reversed position

The lasso may indicate that a fortuneteller will have a baseless quarrel based on unproven and unfair accusations. Another option is that in a difficult situation a person will have to make a moral choice, and the result will not be very moral.

Often an inverted card may indicate that a person exaggerates his problems, and the situation is aggravated precisely from this. In this case, the card should be understood as advice not to panic and be afraid no more than the situation really deserves. Another card can mean a period of stagnation, when no forces can force the situation to develop.
