Five of Pentacles Tarot Card Meaning — Upright & Reversed

Upright Meaning

The cold outside the lit window — the moment of genuine material or spiritual poverty when what is needed is not available and the gap between circumstances and what is required feels vast. Five of Pentacles marks a period of difficulty that is real and asks to be taken seriously rather than minimized.

Reversed Meaning

Relief is arriving, or beginning to be sought. The isolation of the difficult period is ending — either because circumstances are improving or because assistance is finally being accepted. The window that was passed is being entered.
