5 of Pentacles

This week, we are visited by the Five of Pentacles, a card that can feel heavy at first glance but carries profound wisdom about connection, resilience, and gratitude. This card often appears when we are experiencing challenges that may leave us feeling “less than” or as though we lack what we desire—whether financial, emotional, or spiritual. Life may feel overwhelming, and your inner critic might be especially loud right now. Take a moment to pause and reflect.

When we are in survival mode, it’s easy to focus on what we don’t have. We may become consumed with picking out the “weeds” in our lives—our mistakes, shortcomings, or unmet goals. The Five of Pentacles asks us to shift our perspective and notice what is blooming in our metaphorical gardens.

🌻 What are the flowers in your garden? Take a look at the friendships, connections, and small wins you may be overlooking. Perhaps it’s the friend who checked in, the smile from a stranger, or the quiet cup of tea that brought peace. No victory is too small to celebrate.

This card also reminds us to lean into connection. Remember, you don’t have to struggle alone. Whether it’s reaching out for support or recognizing the abundance already surrounding you, know that community is always there and waiting for you.

Throughout this week, take time to practice gratitude, rest, and self-compassion. Pause each day and list three things you’re grateful for—no matter how big or small. You are worthy and don’t have to carry it all on your own. Offer yourself the same love you give to others. Don’t let the weeds obscure the beauty of what you’ve built.

You are more abundant than you realize, and your hard work is bearing fruit—even if it doesn’t feel obvious yet. Trust in yourself and the community around you. You deserve all the love and compassion you can offer this week.

“You are the greatest project you’ll ever work on. Restart. Reset. Refocus. As many times as you need to, just don’t give up on yourself.” - Unknown
