MAIN MEANING
The card represents a turning point, crisis, strong emotions, decline in business. It comes up when a person is feeling unhappy, abandoned. However, it’s hardly a serious loss or grief – the Five of Pentacles only points to uncertainty, an unclear situation and your fear of losing ground under your feet. This situation is typical for any crisis of growth, when a person transitions into a new and unknown territory from a familiar and stable environment.
WORKThe card map shows problems and difficulties that interfere with your business and plans. It means that you are scared of failing, not completing the project or an assignment, losing something (money, real estate, job, promotion), failing an exam. Perhaps you are offered a new job and the feeling of uncertainty from moving to the new territory torments you. Keep in mind, that it is not a wrong step, but a rational choice that would lead to professional growth. In rare cases, the card may mean a bad luck.
CONSCIOUSNESSYou have a prejudiced sense of being poor, even if it is not true. Perhaps, you are wealthy and secure in life, but you are still worried about your future. The point here is that a poor person can have a rich spiritual world, and vice versa. No material things can fill an empty and hardened soul. Most likely, the card indicates a personal growth crisis, during which your innate fear of poverty and failure manifests itself. Although the path to new discoveries can lie precisely through hardships and poverty.
PERSONAL RELATIONSHIPSYou can’t shake off the feeling that you are not loved, that no one needs you, that you are abandoned and unhappy. You are in an unthinkable state of hopelessness, which you should take as a turning point and not the end. You need to get rid of the old patterns of behavior and build a new relationship. If this is a crisis – it is only a phase of personal development, not a catastrophe. Typically such crises only improve the relationship within a couple.
