Highly undesirable. This is one of the most negative cards predicting failure, lack of self-realization and financial problems. However, consider the Tarot lasso of 5 pentacles and its meaning should be from different angles - this is the only way to correctly interpret the whole alignment and find out the advice of the card.
Description upright and upside down
In the upright position, the lasso clearly describes the situation in which the person has fallen, and his emotional state. At the moment, the questioner is in a very precarious position. The five of pentacles speaks of material difficulties, problems at work, self-doubt, the loss of like-minded people. The person experiences a sense of constant anxiety, fear and loneliness.
However, in his head there are thoughts about resolving the situation and hope for the best.... He clearly understands that solving a problem is only a matter of time and opportunity. But his uncertainty and doubts about everything do not allow him to get off the ground.
also speaks of missed opportunities and unused chances to realize their ideas... From this, a person experiences a sense of guilt and scolds himself for slowness and indecision. Arkan says that circumstances put pressure on a person, which makes him worse not only emotionally, but also physically.
The main idea carried by the lasso is this is a state of hopelessness and inability to influence what is happening... If he describes a person, he is talking about a person who has lost everything and now reproaches himself for it.
Map gives advice to pull yourself together and start recuperating for further victories... At the moment, everything depends on the direction in which the questioner will think, whether he will give up or continue to fight for his place in the sun.
In an inverted position, the card takes on an even more dramatic meaning: difficulties will last longer, experiences will be sharper. Arkan talks about financial difficulties, dismissal, disorder in business, unreasonable actions. The cause of all problems is previously incorrect decisions and actions taken.
However, mistakes can no longer be corrected, so the only thing that remains for the questioner is to reproach himself for his transgressions and seek compassion.
The Inverted Five of coins calls to realize the reality of what is happening, stop reproaching yourself for mistakes and start finally getting out of your position. The map makes it clear that all is not yet lost, but the light at the end of the tunnel, which a person sees, is very far away. It will take a lot of effort, patience and hard work to stabilize the situation.
The only right decision would be to accept the help of loved ones and start everything from scratch. New motivation and hope for the best will help to overcome fear.
By itself, this card has a very strong influence on the surrounding arcana in the layout.... Even if auspicious symbols lie around it, it will still overshadow their meaning. The Five of Pentacles is a symbol of imminent disaster, bad luck and a long recovery process.
Interpretation in fortune-telling
Consider the meaning of the Five of Pentacles in terms of relationships, health, situation and professional activity.
Health
Five of pentacles in the layout of health promises a negative outcome... As an indicator of disease, she can speak if you have the following problems:
- oncological diseases
- depression
- chronic fatigue
- reduced immunity
- anorexia
- lack of vitamins
- pneumonia
- fractures and other injuries
- congenital pathologies
If we talk about the reasons for the deterioration of well-being, then the unhealthy lifestyle, overwork at work, negative thoughts, fears and complexes are to blame. The card advises to urgently take care of your body, get tested and start treatment.
If we are talking about a patient, then 5 pentacles indicates a deterioration in well-being... Alas, one should not expect a recovery in the near future.
The inverted lasso most often speaks of problems with alcohol., promiscuous sexual intercourse and other addictions leading a person to degradation.
Love
The appearance of this Tarot symbol in divination for love is not the most negative sign that can be. Arkan points to an imminent crisis in a relationship and an opportunity to fix everything.
The causes of problems are insecurity in each other.... Moreover, the fear of losing can be experienced only by one of their lovers. Often 5 pentacles indicates distrust, jealousy, mutual claims. At the event level, it can mean conflict, accusations and a showdown in a raised voice.
In an inverted position, the lasso is interpreted as the wrong choice of a partner... The moment came when the questioner took off his rose-colored glasses and saw the real essence of his half. Also, a map in the wrong orientation may indicate treason.
If the questioner is lonely, then 5 pentacles does not promise a meeting with a soul mate in the near future.
A certain situation
The person is depressed. Nothing pleases him or interests him. The state of apathy is only temporary. But when everything falls into place again, it depends on the person himself. Material problems, lack of support from people, lack of understanding of what to do next - all this depresses the situation.
In this situation, it is necessary to show willpower and patience.... A person will have to go through everything that he is experiencing at the moment. You will not be able to quickly get rid of negative thoughts and problems. However, having overcome these difficulties, the questioner will become wiser, more experienced and morally stronger.
Professional activity
For a career 5 pentacles in an upright position can be interpreted in different ways depending on the circumstances in a person's life:
- Fear of losing your job, constant stress and deadlines, a hostile atmosphere in the team.
- Low salary incomparable with the work done.
- Experiences related to the occupation(such a card can fall out, for example, to social workers or doctors who face the problems of the population on a daily basis).
Upside down lasso predicts temporary lull at work, stagnation, missed opportunity, dismissal.

Card of the day
The tip of 5 pentacles promises a difficult day full of stress and minor troubles. However, don't get hung up on negative thoughts and panic. The card encourages you to stay calm, no matter what happens. You should not make serious decisions and commit rash acts on this day.
There is a risk of financial losses and misunderstandings at work... Better to take a break from the hustle and bustle and spend time with loved ones. Try to avoid conflicts and uncomfortable environments.
The Five of Pentacles has traditionally been considered a good card for love and bad for money. She foreshadowed young men and maidens marriage for love, at the behest of the heart, but in spite of all materialistic considerations (and, accordingly, paradise in a hut without inheritance and dowries, out of favor with relatives). Probably, there were those who rejoiced at such a prediction, and there were those who were pretty frightened by it.
The Five of Pentacles love those who live in the heart. It supports the spirituality, sometimes destroying the material (this is how the illness of the body often guides the spirit on the right path). It usually means the loss of something material and the acquisition in return of everyday experience, the learning of a lesson. All Fives symbolize the beginning of transformations that should radically change our lives, and this does not pass painlessly.
The secret of the Five of Pentacles is that the most important thing on this map is the Temple. Spiritual strength helps to overcome life's miscalculations and becomes a natural inner support of a person in material activities, and true feeling has great power and gives a person the opportunity to rise above circumstances. The traditional meaning is material adversity, but also the opportunity to receive spiritual in exchange for material.
Five of Pentacles is a card of difficult times, crisis, hardships, worries, losses. She speaks of the loss or lack of something necessary. At the same time, the card rarely serves as a harbinger of truly serious loss, sorrow or ruin (although in general, for material matters, this is a serious warning of danger), but mainly indicates the uncertainty of the situation and experienced fear of losing the ground under their feet. It must be remembered that in life, as in any other journey, anxiety is a bad guide. Such periods of decline are characteristic of any growth crisis, when a person leaves a certain sphere that has become familiar, stable, and moves into a new, still unfamiliar, and possibly dangerous.
In any case, she talks about the waste of some resources and energies exceeding the limits and about the collision with the consequences. You can also become impoverished by living a good life. The creation of reverse welfare requires consistent actions ("a penny saves the ruble"). One of the old interpretations is a waste of time and effort.
The universal meaning of the card is unattainable goals, failed enterprises, mistakes and failures, disasters in business, material losses, even poverty. The questioner is or will soon find himself in a situation where money is tight, and the incomes he was counting on are passing by. Sometimes this is the result of uncontrollable circumstances, sometimes - of their own actions, wastefulness and indiscretion.
This is a collision with the unpleasant realities of life, breaking the illusion of perfection. The card predicts loss and a depressed state of mind, and this is not necessarily about material problems - just that a difficult period is ahead and you will have to tighten the belt tighter to overcome it. This is a time of fatigue and exhaustion (lack of physical strength, loss of vitality and joy), or poverty, a beggarly existence (lack of money, inability to improve material situation), or desperate loneliness (lack of love, cold, rejection, cut off from loved ones), or insecurity in oneself (loss of faith in oneself, in one's abilities and skills).
The card suggests that for some (perhaps quite a long) time it is necessary to postpone expectations and hopes, be careful and save the rest. Life will be full of daily troubles, worries and problems, difficulties and restrictions, perhaps failures, attempts at the very least to make ends meet. She can carry a precarious position and self-doubt, both with regard to work and relationships.
The traditional interpretation of "everything will be resolved after five weeks" is often borne out in practice. You need to know that you cannot lose your head. It will take some time to suffer, but this time will end, even if now difficult circumstances catch up with despondency, and strength is running out.
The shocks caused by the beginning of some transformations in life pass along this map. As you know, in such cases, bad often becomes sooner than good - this is something like the state of a person who finally decided to take care of himself and went to the gym. The next day, even those muscles that he did not even suspect existed will painfully hurt him - that is, it feels worse than it was. The Five of Pentacles often describe such a "disastrous" initial stage and say - be patient for five weeks.
Devastated and depressed, anxious and unhappy. According to the Five of Pentakels, a person sometimes dwells in a kind of half-sleep and half-depression, when nothing attracts and there are no convincing reasons either to live or die. At best, "blessed are the poor in spirit." This is a decline, an unhappy streak (lasting five weeks according to old beliefs, and often it really works), when we feel miserable, abandoned, and sometimes we are in fact in constrained circumstances.
Gloomy reflections, fears for their position, pessimism, when it seems that everything around is just falling apart. The Five of Pentacles describes a difficult internal state, when thoughts go in circles, in the depths of the soul a black hole of hopelessness is formed, and creative energy is blocked and something sensible can be done, it is impossible to make any changes. This experience always touches deeply. It cannot be displaced so easily.
This card, following the Nine of Swords, often accentuates anxiety, excruciating anxiety. Often it is literally a fear of poverty, a fear of difficulties and collapse. Heavy thoughts about your loneliness, uselessness, abandonment, lack of love are possible. As Banzhaf and Akron write, "Anxiety and devastation resulting from negative influences stacking in the wrong direction."
A map of debtors, the poor, the unemployed, outcasts, people who are extremely insecure or aware of some of their defects, limitations, inferiority. The inferiority complex is also the Five of Pentacles. This card says that at the moment a person is very badly lacking in something - money, love, food, warmth ... he is lonely and does not take care of himself. According to the Five of Pentacles, a person may be in constrained circumstances, in a serious crisis, or be deeply offended. The soil leaves from under our feet and only a feeling of wretchedness and powerlessness remains.
The card describes one of the toughest challenges in life - being a spiritual and creative person when there is nothing to eat. Stay strong and whole when sick or crippled. Do not lose inner beauty, contemplating physical defects in the mirror.
Stay true to your principles when it threatens loss and suffering. This is the opposition of external and internal, physical and mental, material and spiritual, worldly and heavenly, and the question is - what is enough for you? Is it really not bread alone? Are the poor in spirit blessed? Fives are associated with the secret of the Fifth Arcana. This card reflects the simplicity and incomprehensibility of the Sermon on the Mount. In a historical sense, this Arcanum corresponds to all sorts of pauperurum commolitonum - monastic formations with an emphasis on poverty, non-possession and uplifting of the spirit through the humility of the soul.
One of the interesting meanings of the card is that it often really indicates closeness to the church and its ideals. The hermit and ascetic life, purifying the soul with deprivation, humility and patience here cease to be a metaphor and the old observation comes to mind that people who are deeply religious endure life's hardships and stresses in a completely different way. The light emanating from the teachings of the church warms and supports in the midst of truly difficult times, it is quite real. The Five of Pentacles can speak of the need to maintain a humble and highly spiritual position under any circumstances and remind that such trials and sufferings are transient (the mystery of Job).
Snow on the map is a sign of the presence of water, the possibility of future purification. Crowley and Filadoro have an interesting observation that the key word of the Five of Pentacles is the anxiety that a person feels because of the loss of the imaginary security that only yesterday determined his thinking (being a great illusion in itself). And the root of this anxiety is lack of faith. We are losing it.
Indeed, in ordinary life we all “walk over the pasture”, all our well-being and life itself can be cut off hour after hour, but the belief that this will not happen, that everything will be fine, allows us to feel completely carefree on the perch above the abyss, comfortable and self-confident. At the moment when the Five of Pentacles falls to us, this faith disappears somewhere and we feel terribly vulnerable, defenseless and "above the abyss" - the soil on which we relied so firmly and thoughtlessly suddenly disappears from under our feet.
It is believed that the Five of Pentacles acts on a sleepy soul in the midst of everyday life like a stone thrown into a swamp. No other card so accurately reflects the state of the hero, maddened by the blissful state of the Four of Pentacles, as the Five of Pentacles. From an astrological point of view, in the theme of this card, Uranus, exiled in Leo, sounds brightly. Where Aquarius is "swallowed" by a new idea, Leo will get himself a mistress, so the Five of Pentacles often means erotic adventures, hobby, flirting, love games (and upside down - disharmony in love, fear, waste of energy).
The situation of a rake, revelers often walk the Five of Pentacles. The explosion of the calm atmosphere of the Four, of course, is not easy to do. It is often accompanied by monetary losses, breakdowns, setbacks, disappointments, ambiguous situations. Sometimes the disturbance of the Quartet's peace turns out to be erroneous, and the person only thinks about how he could get back (the demon beguiled). At the same time, it should be noted that the Five of Pentacles symbolizes karmic situations, that is, those set initially. Payment of karmic debts, the theme of the return of the prodigal son.
In general, if Fours are confidence and orderliness in life, then Fives are an external influence that breaks the illusion of perfection and plunges into a depressed state of mind.
The Five of Pentacles means difficulties, difficulties that lead to success and approval at a new level (according to the Six of Pentacles, this is at least luck in getting help), or returning back to the level of the Four. One way or another, the memory of the past experience remains, regardless of whether it was positive or negative.
The sign of Taurus symbolizes the ability to be creative. But true creation is a harmonious combination of material and spiritual into a single whole. If Capricorn's actions are based on his own inner core and his “I” is able to lead him to the goal because it turns out to be more significant for this sign than everything else, then for Taurus his “I” dissolves in feeling and desire.
If a person's "I" is satisfied and nothing forces him to act anymore, then in order to get down to business, there should be a desire to do "something" for which the world around you will be grateful to you. Therefore, the main task of the first decade of Taurus is to realize your feelings, understand the desires that have crept into your soul and respond to them. This decade is characterized by entrepreneurial spirit in everything that concerns the sensual sphere - and therefore it is distinguished by successful functioning and administrative activities in the field of art.
She also has an emotional sensitivity, which is endowed with her inclined to seek Mercury, her ruler, although Taurus is characterized by a slow perception. Feeling assimilates information not at the same speed as the mind, but firmly: comprehending, it lays the foundation for the building of the future. Sensory experience becomes the foundation of life wisdom. And wisdom traditionally speaks of the transience of all that is perishable.
The map shows the beggars under the windows of the temple. The pitiful figures of the two cripples show how much man has no power over the earthly. Free will often only cripples a person: he is often unable to walk his life path without mistakes (and as a result, he feels anxiety due to waste and violations). This map shows the space that a person creates himself, but often it turns out to be far from perfect due to his excessive ambitions and unrealizable desires.
It is believed that the two beggars wandering in the snow reflect the general condition of all mankind. The light in the stained glass window symbolizes esoteric wisdom, the comprehension of which gives liberation from worldly adversity. Alas, the poor fellows wander past, not realizing that deliverance is near, although a bell hangs on the cripple's chest, symbolizing the voice of intuition.
Light and shadow (advice and caution)
The advice is to save money and not get involved in any risky ventures. Now is not the time to test yourself for strength. Simplify your lifestyle by reducing your needs to the essentials. To prefer loneliness to maintaining a dark bond. Any material donation now helps spiritual growth. Difficulties unite with really close ones. Sometimes the card advises you to seek help in a difficult situation - the world is not without kind people.
The trap is to ossify in habitual and eternal dissatisfaction (including oneself), to be pitying, toil with a feeling of inferiority, to be afraid of rejection in panic. Getting bogged down in a hopeless situation. This card is often a warning, an indication of the need to pay due attention to matters, follow every step, demonstrate commitment in work, do your duty and stop wastefulness. Often this is a hint of cards that we spend the money we have on anything, just do not invest it in our own stability, security and development. The card may also indicate that unjustified pride prevents you from accepting more than once already offered and very necessary help.
"Ooh, how it all started."
Catastrophic business failures.
Bankruptcy of the enterprise. Unpromising projects. Crisis, helplessness, discouragement, hopeless affairs, hopeless plans, hostility and bullying. “This is a beggar thing” - it either literally lacks financial investments, or it is generally devoid of any solid foundation. This can be expressed, for example, as a lack of demand.
At the same time, surrounded by favorable cards, the Five of Pentacles may indicate a very promising business that has to "start in a barn", like the founder of Micfosoft. At first, it will be difficult, some may not understand the intentions and even condemn them, you will have to defend yourself and your beliefs, working in a difficult environment.
As a symbol of the collapse of the balanced scheme of the Four, it can manifest itself in the form of anarchy, confusion and vacillation, a clash of group interests.
Ziegler's ingenious words about the Five of Pentacles - "this is a black hole that touches the very depths of the subconscious, the wandering of thoughts in a circle in a fruitless internal dialogue with the energy blocked" - can only be felt when you really find yourself in such a situation. Difficulties, bullying, expulsion from the group. Problematic communication, its disgusting residual negativity, the feeling of failure like “I’m bad - you’re bad,” which brings a loss of vitality and joy.
The Five of Pentacles can describe both being overwhelmed with work with clearly insufficient remuneration, and dismissal, loss of work, unemployment.
It is curious that in modern tarology it is believed that this is a card of sponsors, patrons of art, the purpose of money for the development of art (again in the sense of donating material and gaining the spiritual).
As a symbol of professional affiliation, it can be related to working with a hospital, a shelter for the elderly, a hospice, a social center, less often in churches or in organizations that provide assistance to refugees and victims of mass disasters.
Monetary losses. Material difficulties. Ruin, poverty. Loss of home. This is a map of poverty, hard times, want, losses, lack of material resources, impoverishment, lack of prosperity. Unemployment, living on benefits or a small pension. The need to save every grain of resources (some, not necessarily money), dependence on others, the need to beg (one way or another), the need for charitable help.
Money is tight - through your own fault or due to circumstances. Loss of advantages and advantageous position. The income for which the calculation was made will pass by, the invested funds will not be returned. This can be a situation where a person spends more than he earns. "It's so interesting, just horrible." Burdened with excessive financial obligations, the need to immediately repay debts, a monetary fine.
The best that a card can give is freedom from obligations associated with money and property, but whoever has such a level of philosophical perception of reality to appreciate this freedom as something especially positive.
An inverted Five of Pentacles can mean unexpected profits.
Often this card is ascribed to the meaning of attachment to a lover or mistress, but it is rather the meaning of a strong, inseparable bond between two people who suffer together, unrecognized by society, but will never part, no matter what hardships their connection implies.
This card symbolizes people (or a person) who have become accustomed to their position and do not even think that it can be changed. The basis of their relationship is a joint struggle against a cruel world (therefore, in an inverted form, this card, promising a general improvement in life, puts such a relationship at risk). Sometimes a person walks along it through moral torment to a literally hard-won decision.
In some interpretations, she talks about the legitimization of relations (sometimes it is an indicator of the court, legal instances), about obligation, decency, bonds and connections, about decency (and only in an inverted form speaks of discord, damage, chaos, disorder, discord and ruin).
Sometimes this card still means precisely deprivation, deprivation of love, loss. Sometimes the card says that the two are tired of each other and there is nothing special to wait now. Sometimes it is expressed in separation from a partner, and in loneliness, and in a sudden break in relations (leaving one, abandonment of the other, leaving may feel abandoned, etc.). Other cards of the layout can give a hint.
This can be a period in a relationship when at least one of the partners cries into the pillow from a feeling of defenselessness and self-doubt, he is hurt and scared and he is tormented by the feeling that he has nothing to do next to the other, he is unloved and unnecessary. An inferiority complex and a victim's mindset. Feeling of loneliness, uselessness, abandonment, rejection, mental woundedness.
Another meaning is an exhausting relationship in which the partner clearly misuses the resources of the questioner - money, emotions, sexual energy ... whatever the case, there is vampirism without a glimpse of mercy. The result is a loss of vitality and joy. Perhaps lack of money gets in the way of love. Another meaning is erotic adventures leading to business losses.
Sometimes - the separation of people, problematic communication in relationships, they are under threat and everything seems completely hopeless and impossible.
However, the Five of Pentacles is not so simple, and it is not for nothing that in ancient times it was considered directly related to the theme of love. She can describe an ardently loving and deeply suffering partner who “stands at the door and knocks” (and sometimes literally is ready to live under the door on the staircase), as long as his heart is much richer than the rejecting one. He stands at the locked doors of another cruel heart like a beggar, repeating "have mercy!" And in fact, he is asking NOT FOR HIMSELF. He stands for another like a beggar, so that something changes in his heart, so that his hand will give him what he asks, so that he will learn this for himself.
In an inverted position, the Five of Pentacles means waste of energy, waste of reserves, wastefulness, vulnerability, fear. Can symbolize disharmony in love relationships. Here the affected sign of Leo or the Fifth House is played out. Traditionally - "shameful love", "dissolute way of life".
The card can also indicate stagnation in business, worldly concerns, discontent. It may happen that the questioner sees great opportunities for himself, but they are not yet fully attainable.
At best, the card can indicate that the losses are not as great as one might have feared. Getting a job (at least temporarily) after unemployment, improving (at least temporarily) health after an illness, restoring welfare after bankruptcy, amnesty. The prospect of spiritual rebirth, the end of an unfavorable streak. Mary Greer writes that when upside down, the window on the map turns into a door leading to a peaceful refuge. This card is attributed to humility, patience, tranquility.
