Five of Pentacles — the Rider–Waite–Smith tarot card
Rider–Waite–Smith, 1909

Five of Pentacles upright meaning

  • hardship
  • lack
  • insecurity
  • isolation

A card of hard times and feeling out in the cold. Money or support feels short right now, but help is nearer than you think, ask instead of toughing it out alone.

Five of Pentacles reversed meaning

  • recovery
  • help arriving
  • hope
  • turning point

The worst of the hardship is easing, and a door is opening, a job, a helping hand, a bit of hope. Notice it and walk through, because you don't have to stay stuck in the struggle.
