Five of Pentacles

Suit of Pentacles · earth

This is the card of being out in the cold - material lack compounded by a felt sense of exclusion or abandonment. Yet the lit window beside them signals that shelter and help are nearer than the sufferers perceive. It asks you to consider what hardship you are weathering, and whether support exists that pride or pain keeps you from entering.

The image

Two destitute figures, one on crutches, trudge through snow past a lit church window glowing with five pentacles in stained glass.
