Five of Pentacles
Upright: Financial loss, poverty, lack mindset, isolation, worry
Reversed: Recovery from financial loss, spiritual poverty
Five of Pentacles is a card of financial loss. You have hit hard times, especially when it comes to your finances and material possessions. Your ego may also be bruised, especially since success often correlates to financial wealth. You no longer feel safe. The upside is that this is a Minor Arcana card with temporary effects (rather than a Major Arcana card which has a longer-term impact). This, too, shall pass. In this time of need, Five of Pentacles indicates you feel isolated and alone. It may appear as if no one cares anymore. You may be waiting for someone to come and help you when really, you need to be proactive and ask for help. You need to swallow your pride or let go of your fear of rejection and reach out. People are here to support you. Find them and let them know you need them.
A traditional Tarot image, Five of Pentacles, in her hooded figure, represents isolation. The steam-punk styled clockwork represents her anxiety and fear as time keeps moving forward. All you can see is what is going wrong. To shift this energy, look for evidence of what you do have-even if it's very small or seemingly insignificant-and express your gratitude. Over time, the positive aspects will continue to grow. Redirect your attention to what you have now and what you want in the future, so your manifesting powers get used for good.
Capricorn is a sign that represents time and responsibility, and its representatives are traditional and often very serious by nature. These individuals possess an inner state of independence. They are masters of self-control. They will learn from their mistakes and get to the top based solely on their experience and expertise. Called "The Goat of Fear," Capricorn speaks of each natural chain reaction of fear, where one scary thing leads to many others, rising up as defensive mechanisms that only make things worse. Immersed in their secrecy, they face the world just as they are-brave enough to never run away, but constantly afraid of their inner monsters.
