Five of Pentacles

Hardship; left outside.

The image

Two ragged figures, one on crutches, trudge through snow at night past a brightly lit stained glass window showing five pentacles.

Keywords: hardship, exclusion, seeking help

Light side

Even in hard times you are not entirely alone, and help may be nearer than you think. Hardship can deepen solidarity.

Shadow side

Feeling shut out can make you walk past the open door. Pride or shame may stop you from asking for what you need.

Drawing Five of Pentacles in a game of Leela

In Leela Atlas you can draw a card from the Classic Tarot when you land on a square. A bridging question links the card to the square, so the card speaks to your own question:

• Where might help be available to you that you have not yet asked for?
• What does "Five of Pentacles" show you about your square?
• If "Five of Pentacles" were advice for your question, what would it say?
• Where do you meet "Five of Pentacles" in your life right now?
