CARD MEANING
___________

Upright:  This card appears when you feel financial or physical insecure.  You may feel that there is a lack of financial resources in your life, struggling to make ends meet, or fearful of relying on others.  This card reminds us that there is support available if we choose to seek it.  The 5 of Pentacles may also represent ill physical health which is causing you discomfort, pain, or fear.  It is time to reach out for assistance, physically, spiritually, and emotionally, to help you get back on your feet and feel comfortable again.  This card reminds us that everything you need is available upon asking.

Reversed:  If this card is pulled in a reverse position, it can be a positive card pointing to a financial breakthrough.  Perhaps you find a new job, discover a new stream of income, or inherit or win some money.  Your needs will be met and you will find a sense of financial security once again.  On the flip side, this reversed card can point to careless spending in order to fill a deeper void.  It urges you to seek fulfillment from higher sources, beyond material gratification.
