In general, the Five of Pentacles points to a feeling of being left out in the cold, as though everyone else in the world has everything and you are the only one that is suffering. Realize that this is not the case. Do the best you can, with what you have, but remember that the wise thing to do, if one needs help, is to go out and ask for it. The help you need will come.

The Five of Pentacles can point to a time when life is feeling less than secure. The important thing to remember is that there is always help available when we need it, from forces both seen and unseen. You may feel alone, but you have the capacity to change that. Reach out.

Reversed Cards: The Five of Pentacles can often show a time of disconnection. In the upright position this may very well have been unintended or even unwanted, but here in the protection aspect it is actually done deliberately. The card is the closest we can get in the tarot to showing how to step outside the boundaries of social convention. Think of it as getting off the conveyor belt of life just long enough to reboot, reset, and possibly find other ways of experiencing your physical journey. Not everything about our modern world is helpful or enriching. Oftentimes the world can be restricting, cruel, and dehumanizing. Use the Five of Pentacles in the protection aspect as a respite, not a permanent solution.

Complete Book of Tarot: Most tarot enthusiasts have more than one deck and use particular decks for specific purposes. For example, you might use one deck to read for yourself, another for meditation, and yet another for creative inspiration when starting a project. One way to get acquainted with a new set of cards is to ‘interview’ the deck using a tarot spread. The theme and variations layout is useful for this purpose.
