The Five of Pentacles card from the Rider-Waite-Smith tarot

On the card

Two figures pass barefoot through snow beneath a lit stained-glass window, one on crutches, neither looking up.

Upright

  • Hardship
  • Exclusion
  • Cold

The window is right there and neither of them looks. Traditionally want and the isolation that comes with it, including the part that is not being seen.

Reversed

  • Recovery
  • Help accepted
  • Still outside

Reversed, the door is found: help asked for or accepted, or a hard stretch beginning to end.

About this deck

The artwork is the Rider-Waite-Smith tarot, drawn by Pamela Colman Smith to Arthur Edward Waite's direction and first published in 1909. It has passed into the public domain, which is why it can be shown here in full — but it is her work, and the reason this deck became the one nearly every other deck answers to.
