Five of Pentacles

Like the other fives in the tarot, the Five of Pentacles symbolizes adversity. It depicts two figures walking in the snow. They are not only cold but also sick, poor, exhausted, and hungry. They seem to lack the basic necessities of life. One figure in the card is using a cane, while the other has their head covered with a shawl, walking barefoot in the snow. The background shows a black wall with a stained glass window, on which are five pentacle symbols, indicating it is a church. Usually, the Five of Pentacles is a bad omen. However, there is no need to panic, as its meaning can change depending on its position in the spread.
