Message of Five of Pentacles:
Fives are breakthrough/break out cards. Whether the stable Fours offered stability or stagnation, the Fives are here to change things up. Fives are where you face the reality of your situation with your logical mind. Pentacles (Discs, Coins, Diamonds, Spheres, Crystals, Stones, etc.) represent the Earth Element and are concerned with everything physical, possessions, wealth, things, order, tradition, endurance, finance, and value. The Five of Pentacles is also called The Lord of Material Trouble, Worry, and The Power of Anxiety. Your life may be in crisis both physically and financially. Be very careful at this time. Don't be wasteful with your resources. And look up and out. There may be help just out of view.
