This card shows two poor people stumbling through the snow outside a church that has five pentacles on its stained glass window. It is a time of misfortune, a setback in health and wellbeing or just bad luck. The people depicted on the card feel humiliated by their destitution, yet their pride makes it impossible for them to request help.
The Five of Pentacles can, depending on the rest of your spread, refer to financial matters, employment, or relationships. Unfortunately, it is a negative indicator for all of them, suggesting financial loss, worry, loss of jobs, isolation, and the possibility of infidelity. A key theme is humility. This is a time for you to carefully evaluate what matters in your life and work out your priorities, such as whether your job or your relationship matters most. In order to mitigate the damage in some areas of your life, you may have to let some of the other fall away.
