The Five of Pentacles looks bleak on the outside, but looks are deceiving. The woman and boy are in peasant clothing and the boy is on crutches. The weather is cold and the scenery bleak. They are passing a church with five pentacles in the stained glass window, but don’t seem to notice it. The message for today from this card is that true wealth is in spiritual things that you cannot touch. Look how the pentacles (representing wealth) are anchored in the window of the church (representing spiritual life). It doesn’t matter to the woman and boy how bleak things are on the outside because they know they are only passing through an experience that will change. The number 5 is mutable. It is never too late to cultivate your connection with the Eternal, and the Harvest is all year long!
