Card Meaning
A poor couple in tattered clothes, exposed to the elements, walking on a snowy path. The image of the Five of Pentacles is unforgettable, reminiscent of poor Westerners during Christmas, bringing to mind characters from Dickens' novels and Hans Christian Andersen's Little Match Girl. The Five of Pentacles is famous for representing 'lack and hardship,' often symbolizing poverty, unemployment, loss, deficiency, and poor health. In the image, as the couple passes a church symbolizing spiritual shelter, the church has windows but no doors, suggesting 'no way to pray.' On such a snowy day, the couple's situation of 'heaven and earth not responding to their calls' is deeply moving. However, the Five of Pentacles isn't all bad news. The couple's devotion to each other despite the snow and poverty demonstrates that true love exists in this world, doesn't it show that sincere love transcends all worldly matters?
