5 of Pentacles
The 5 of Pentacles shows two destitute figures walking in the snow past a stained-glass window of a church. They are cold, injured, and poor. This is the card of hardship and isolation.
It represents financial loss, illness, or feeling left out in the cold. You are struggling. But notice the church window—help is right there, if only they would look up or ask for it.
It asks you to seek help. Don't suffer in silence. Pride will only keep you cold. There is warmth nearby.
