5 of Pentacles

The Five of Pentacles depicts someone who is feeling overwhelmed, burnt out, and defeated. This person is stuck and having a hard time moving forward. They may be experiencing financial hardship, self-isolation, or health challenges and feel like everything they’ve worked hard for is slipping through their fingers. Does this sound like something you're experiencing?

When you're feeling overwhelmed, it's okay to take a break. The Five of Pentacles is here to remind you that the answers you seek are close by. Lift your head and look around. What is the key you need to unlock the next gate along your journey?

Do not feel alone in this hard time. Rest until you feel ready and reach out to friends, family, or a professional for support and guidance. You will find your key. It will appear when the time is right. Look for signs from the universe and trust your intuition as you search. There is a light illuminating the answers you seek, but you may be lacking self-trust and second-guessing yourself. 

"Every time I take a step forward, I worry if it's the right direction."

"If I do [xyz], I might disappoint others."

"Even when things go well, I wonder if it's just luck or if I've truly earned it."

Remember, your thoughts have power and you have the ability to reframe them. Use statements that empower you and encourage you to move forward on your journey. You are strong, you are brave, and you are protected by Divine energy. You have more value than you often believe. Don't let the voices created by someone else take control of your life. You are the driver of your journey; move in the direction you desire.

"Each step I take forward brings me closer to my goals, and I trust in my ability to navigate the path ahead."

"By following my own path and making choices true to myself, I honor my own journey and am not bound by the expectations of others."

"I recognize my achievements as a result of my hard work, skills, and determination, rather than attributing them solely to luck."
