The Five of Pentacles reversed is a representation of unfortunate poverty that one experiences internally and externally.
If you’ve had frequent challenges and have wondered how you’ll ever pay for something, then this is for you.
The Five of Pentacles Reversed
Feeling stuck financially is one of the worst feelings. Unfortunately, it’s also common within the spiritual and yoga communities of the world. We’re not business-minded folk!

This happens in two parts: on the inside and on the outside. First we get stuck in our “ways” and then in the material world, are also stuck and can’t quite come together with the money to pay bills.
Even if we work hard, those results we were hoping for simply don’t arrive. Why? Because we need to ensure we’re not on the perverbial treadmill that’s taking us to nowhere.
Card analysis
To analyze the depiction on this tarot card, we’re using the popular Rider Waite series. You are welcome to use any that you desire.

We can see here a group of people who have done it tough. They haven’t quite manifested all that they were hoping to achieve at their age. It’s really a sense of falling behind the herd.
Where did this begin? With their poverty consciousness! There’s a bit of this inside each and everyone one of us. Do you look for the discounts and bargains? Rich people don’t.
By all means we’re not suggesting that you purchase expensive and elaborate things. Oh no! Strong financial management is necessary on your path towards true abundance.
It’s a mindset game. One that you must play. The people on The Five of Pentacles reversed have merely given up. They’re depleted. They have the potential for so much more, but have given in to holding their head in shame.
Our thoughts are energy
Every single day we have thousands of thoughts that run through our head. Some are meaningless while others are powerful and should be acted upon.
The power thoughts are the energy that create our world. Thoughts about becoming successful are to be regularly appreciated and noted down. Yes! Put such effort into your gratitude journal.
The Law of Attraction is the popular movement inspired by The Secret that promotes exactly this. You must be in alignment with the things that you wish to manifest in the world before you.
But as you’re smart enough to realize, this is only one piece of the two-piece puzzle. The other is consistent action every single day.
A cleaner mind
We can highly recommend a cleaner mind because for many of us, we need to remove the junk. This could be spending some time away from others at a yoga retreat or spiritual centre.
Many people in the world hold bitterness towards others, and worst still – towards themselves. They wear a mask so others can’t see their own personal struggles.
Such bitterness cannot manifest all the goodness that’s in the world, nor can it help you escape from the poverty that’s depicted on these tarot cards.
Stop and think for a moment if this life is eactly as you envisioned 5 years ago. if it isn’t – then you are not a tree. It’s time for a change!
Going forward
We’re with you and so is the entire universe. Everything conspires to help you if you’ll just open up. Evidence shows that rich people are happier. Yes, that’s controversial….but it’s true!

Money doesn’t buy happiness, but poverty doesn’t buy anything. It’s our own consciousness that creates our world where we can create and manifest anything that we desire.
That could be poverty or riches. It’s your call!
