Five of Pentacles — the suit of earth, of money, work and the body.

Divinatory meaning
The card foretells material trouble above all, whether in the form illustrated--that is, destitution--or otherwise. For some cartomancists, it is a card of love and lovers--wife, husband, friend, mistress; also concordance, affinities. These alternatives cannot be harmonized.
Reversed
Disorder, chaos, ruin, discord, profligacy. [Illustration]
