Five of Pentacles Tarot Card Meaning

Link: Little Spark Of Joy

It is a bit difficult to shine a positive light on the Five of Pentacles Minor Arcana card. It’s one of those cards that not many people desire in reading. It represents sickness, poverty, and general struggle, and the only acceptable place for this pentacle is reversed or in the past position.

Unfortunately, this is not always the case. But if the Five of Pentacles has presented itself as a part of your reading, don’t worry too much. That’s because it’s not a Major Arcana card, which means its effects are transient, not long-term.

Additionally, you can also concentrate on learning and growing from the hardships you are experiencing or are about to face. Knowing what the future could bring makes it easier to tailor our behavior to avoid future heartache.
