Five of Pentacles
Minor Arcana · Pentacles · Earth · Mercury in Taurus
Upright
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.
The picture
