5 Of Pentacles

General: 

It may feel like you hit rock bottom, as though everyone else in the world has everything and you are the only one that is suffering. Realize that this is not the case. Do the best you can with what you have, but remember that the wise thing to do when one needs help is to go out and ask for it. The help you need will come.

Work: 

Work may be feeling scary and leaving you stuck. Know that you do not have to stay in a situation that is not healthy or workable for you. Have faith in yourself and the universe that changes are possible. You don’t have to do everything all on your own. If you need a new position, ask everyone you know about possible opportunities. Things will get better. Have faith!

Love: 

Unfortunately, you may have your eye on someone who you feel is not treating you the way they should. It may be that you need to stop fantasizing about this person entirely. This card can be very much a card of feeling left out in the cold. It’s important to remember that in a lifetime we can have more than one love and meaningful relationship. When love is right, you don’t have to do back flips to make it work. Broaden your horizons and try hard to think positively. You are not an unlovable troll.

Finances: 

You may feel as though all is lost with regard to money. Take a deep breath and rethink. You are not all alone with no help, even if you don’t know anyone at all in your immediate surroundings. Reconsider things, skills, and situations, that you may have dismissed. If you need financial help, don’ t be too proud to ask for it. There is always something that can be done to put food on the table. This period is temporary. Be sure you are getting good, workable advice.

Health: 

Due to stress, you may be blowing small health issues out of proportion. Be sure to get things evaluated and then do the best you can to take care of them. Meditation and relaxation could be key to grounding you now. Meditate even if all you can manage is 30 seconds at a time to help you improve your health.

Spirituality: 

Remind yourself of the reality that nothing lasts forever, particularly if you are having a difficult time, as this card often indicates. Also stay mindful of the reality that we are all connected and that allowing someone to help you is a blessing to them as well as a blessing to you. Do not try to do everything all on your own. Have faith that things will get better because they will.
