Upright Imagery and Meanings: The picture on the 5 of Pentacles shows two homeless people out in the snow in front of a church window; it's frightening. But are they willing to go in from the cold? Or do they even see they're being offered help? Maybe they'd rather take care of themselves? These are just some of the questions that come up when we study this card. |

The 5 of Pentacles upright describes a condition of some kind of impoverishment. Is it spiritual loss? A financial one? Or is it just that you don't feel connected to your community? Do you feel lost or abandoned? All of these descriptions can be found in the 5 of Pentacles upright. |

It's possible you've neglected your health or spiritual needs and feel at a loss as to how to handle those areas of your life. Sometimes, depending on what question you asked, it can mean loss of a job or unemployment, but this depends on the other cards around it. Clearly, though, this is a card of feeling left out in the cold. |

Reversed Imagery and Meanings: The 5 of Pentacles is better in its reversed position. This is a reversal of bad luck, and you may now find new work so that your unemployed days are over. You may feel that your courage has come back to you and that you're able to get back into the action of your community or home life. |

When the 5 of Pentacles appears reversed, you've accepted the conditions of loss and have moved on to a higher level of understanding. You've develop compassion for those homeless folks and understand that life has its highs and lows. You have a new interest in spiritual matters and feel more hopeful with the 5 of Pentacles in this position. Courage and hope return now. |
