Five of Pentacles

Unable to ask for help while going without.

Arcana: Minor Arcana
Suit: Pentacles
Element: Earth

Lack
Isolation
Asking for help

Upright

A hard stretch, financially or psychologically. But the heart of this card is isolation rather than lack itself. Help is nearby, and pride or embarrassment is what walks you past the door.

Reversed

Recovery beginning, or help being accepted. Asking resolves more than you expect.

Advice

Do not endure it alone. Asking for help is the competent move right now.
