5 of Pentacles Tarot Meaning and Interpretation
The 5 of Pentacles can point to a time when life is feeling less than secure. The important thing to remember is that there is always help available when you need it, from forces both seen and unseen. You may feel alone, but you have the capacity to change that so reach out if this is the way things are.
General
In general, the 5 of Pentacles points to a feeling of being left out in the cold, as though everyone else in the world has everything and you are the only one that is suffering. You need to realize that this is not the case so do the best you can. Of course, you can only do the best you can with what you have but remember that it’s the smart thing to do. If you need help, don’t be afraid to go out and ask for it because if you do so the help you need will come.
Love
The 5 of Pentacles is not a particularly happy indicator when it comes to romantic relationships, unfortunately. If you are not being treated or feel that you are not being treated the way you deserve by your partner, you need to give some real thought as to what the fundamental problem is.
You might think that the problem is simple, but it may not be. Life is rarely black and white, and you are likely to find your relationship is a shade of grey. Make sure you are 100% correct in your determination. Because only then can you begin to understand the steps needed to fix the issue.
For most of you looking for love it may be that you have your eye on someone and are paying them some attention, but that is not being reciprocated. It may be that you need to stop fantasizing about this person entirely and look elsewhere.
For the rest of you looking for romance you need to start getting outside your comfort zone and looking somewhere else. Finding love is rarely simple and moving in the same circles all the time is not likely to produce the romance you are looking for even if there are several people you would be happy to get to know better.
It’s important to remember that there is never just one person that you can be with and have a soul-level, happy, meaningful relationship. Broaden your horizons and try hard to think positively. Have faith you will find love and don’t settle for second best – remember, you are not an unlovable troll!
Money and Finances
You may feel as though all is lost with regard to money but that is not the case. Take a deep breath and re-think because you are almost certainly not without options. Even if you don’t think that anyone in your immediate surroundings can help that is not so. And, of course, you can do things to help yourself too.
Reconsider things, skills, and situations, that you may have dismissed. If you need financial help, don’t be too proud to ask for it. There is always something that can be done to put food on the table even if its not something you really want to do. This period is only temporary.
Work and Career
Work can be either burdensome or non-existent when this card appears. If you are in work, then you may be feeling stuck. It’s important to understand that you do not have to stay in a situation that is not healthy or workable for you. Have faith in yourself and the universe that changes are possible.
If you need a new job, make sure that you ask everyone you know for possibilities. Although it may feel as though you will never find a job that really isn’t the case. This period of unemployment is only temporary, and things will get better so have faith in the universe to help you make it happen.
Health
Due to other stressors, you may be blowing small health issues out of all proportion. Be sure to get things evaluated even if you have no money and no health insurance, there is always a way to get treatment if you are persistent. Follow the advice given and then do the best you can to take care of those issues. Meditation and relaxation may be key to improving your health. Meditate even if all you can manage is 30 seconds at a time.

Spirituality
Remind yourself of the reality that nothing lasts forever, particularly if you are having a difficult time, as this card often indicates you are. Also, stay mindful of the reality that we are all connected and that allowing someone to help you is a blessing to them as well as a blessing to you. Do not try to do everything all on your own and have faith that things will get better because they will.
