Five of Pentacles

Five of Pentacles means staying away from the things that enrich.

Tarot Reading

On a windy and snowy day, a ragged beggar couple are trudging forward, standing for the material and the spiritual. They pass by the church, but ignore it. The beggar on crutches in the picture symbolizes disease and pain. This card also symbolizes eternal love, just like the poor loving couple in the picture. Their hearts are still staying together despite of the poverty, giving people a little warmth in such a freezing weather.

The church in this picture only has windows, but without main entrance for people to pass through, which makes people have endless thoughts. In this regard, the Conjecturer is free to associate the meaning of this picture according to his/her own situation.

Conjecture

In actual conjecture, the Five of Pentacles generally represents the sharing of weal and woe. If the questioner is a couple, then these two people know that their life together will be miserable in the future, but they will still stay together without hesitation.
