The Five of Pentacles is a card of hard times and down on your luck; especially when it comes to your work, career, finances, and material possessions. It is a card that shows us lacking faith in tough times. Bumps in the road are inevitable and the Five of Pentacles reflects this. As a result, you may feel isolated and lonely during this time – just know that this will eventually pass. Comfort and support are often closer than we notice. People are here to support you. Find them and let them know you need them. The key is learning and growing from the hardships. Knowing what the future might bring makes it easier to change our behavior to avoid future setbacks. We must keep in mind that we may not have control of the challenges we face, the power lies in our reactions. Sometime all you can see is what is going wrong. To shift this energy, look for what is going right even if it’s very small and express gratitude for the blessings in your life. In time, good things will continue to grow and soon you’ll discover “what was lacking” in your life will be a thing of the past.
