Five of Pentacles Tarot Card Meaning

The Awakened Sage

The Five of Pentacles is the fifth card in the pentacles suit in the minor arcana and represents abandonment, insecurity, poverty, financial loss and a lack mentality. The Five of Pentacles is represented by the number five which is connected to things like change, challenge, adaptability and transformation.

The Five of Pentacles is connected to the element earth and the planet Venus, as it’s associated with financial needs, your sense of worth and supportive forces. This card can represent a time of struggle in your life or feelings of unworthiness and insecurity.

The Five of Pentacles can literally represent challenging financial times. But it can also be connected to your emotional and mental states as well as your connections with others. This card can represent poverty and falling on hard times where you feel unsupported and possibly even abandoned by the universe.

The Five of Pentacles Meaning

This card can mean that you may be feeling insecure and powerless in a situation in your life. The Five of Pentacles also represents that there’s always something to be grateful for no matter how small and that you may need to shift your perspective in order to cope with this situation.

The image on the card shows two people who are wounded and struggling to walk in the snow just outside of a church. Behind them a church window glows as if beckoning them to come inside and into the warmth. Although because they’re so focused on their struggle they miss the shining light and thus keep themselves stuck in an impoverished state.

So the Five of Pentacles can represent a loss of hope or being too focused on the problem instead of the solution. This card also signifies that there is support around you but you may need to change your perspective in order to see this. Everything in life is temporary, including challenges, and reminding yourself of this can be helpful.

Therefore, when the Five of Pentacles comes up in a reading it means that you may be experiencing struggles but that there’s also a way out being presented to you. So not to lose hope and to keep the faith. Alternatively, the Five of Pentacles can also represent things like surrender, a negative mindset and being spiritually guided. Always look to the cards around it for clarification or to get a deeper meaning.

Upright

Feeling abandoned, falling on hard times, financial poverty, financial loss, struggle, sickness, impoverishment, loneliness, unworthiness, feeling lack.

Reversed

An end to difficult times, new financial opportunities, restoring hope, placing your trust in the universe, getting unstuck, blocks being removed.

Four of Pentacles Tarot Card Meaning

The Four of Pentacles is connected to the element earth and the planet Saturn, as it’s associated with discipline, commitment, practicality and restriction. This card can represent the miser or an energy of not wanting to spend money out of fear, materialism and/or greed.

The Four of Pentacles represents a situation where you may be hanging onto something too tightly as you may feel like it gives you a sense of security. Although what this is really doing is preventing growth from occurring which can hold you back from developing, leveling up or evolving in some way.

The Four of Pentacles Meaning

This card can be a double-edged sword because it shows an ability to be good with saving money but it can also show greed and a fear of spending money. The Four of Pentacles also represents a fear of letting go and trying to control everything around you.

The image on the card shows a man sitting on a chair possessively holding onto a coin as if he’s afraid of losing it. There are also two coins under his feet and one on top of his head showing how attached he is to his money. He is seated outside of town representing how his intense focus on money has separated him from his relationships with others.

So the Four of Pentacles can represent fear around your sense of security and ability to provide for yourself. This card also signifies holding back when it comes to investing your energy and resources and being greedy with what you contribute. This can apply to many areas of your life such as your finances and spending habits but also your relationships with others.

Therefore, when the Four of Pentacles comes up in a reading it represents a need to utilize your resources wisely but to also have balance so that you don’t go into extremes. Alternatively, the Four of Pentacles can also represent things like a need to be conservative with your spending, letting money control you and a financial loss. Always look to the cards around it for clarification or to get a deeper meaning.
