Here we see 5 pentacles in a stained glass window and 2 poor, ragged, desolate, sick people walking past outside. They seem to have no way of being able to enter the world of plenty behind them or even be aware of its existence.
Meaning
This card symbolises financial pain, strife, loss, debt, desperation and all the problems that can arise from severe shortage of money. It is a card of financial difficulty and struggle. There also seems to be a real feeling of hopelessness.
This card can also indicate money that is tied up or possibly lost in a financial transaction.
It can also indicate that someone is not going to receive as much money as they were expecting in a situation.
The card can also indicate spiritual poverty and a feeling that life is meaningless and that there is no-one to turn to for help and guidance.
The lack and neglect may also be connected with our health and not taking care of ourselves properly.
Whether the hardship is over money, health, emotional or spiritual matters, it is important to realise it will pass. Action needs to be taken to move forward.
