Well, let me tell ya, this here Five of Pentacles card, it ain’t no sunshine and rainbows, that’s for sure. It’s like when yer chickens get the pox and the well runs dry, all at the same time. Just plain bad luck, seems like.
Now, when someone’s got this card in their mind, intentions they say? Hmmph. Means they’re likely feelin’ the pinch, like a tight shoe on a bunion. Could be they’re worryin’ about money, or maybe they’re feelin’ left out in the cold, like a stray dog nobody wants.
- Could be they lost their job, like when old man Johnson’s barn burned down and he couldn’t pay his workers no more.
- Maybe they’re sick, ailin’ and feelin’ weak, like when my Bessie got the fever and couldn’t get outta bed.
- Or maybe they’re just plain lonely, feelin’ like they ain’t got a friend in the world, like a scarecrow standin’ all alone in a field.
See, this card, it shows two folks walkin’ past a church, all hunched over and lookin’ miserable. They got their heads down, ain’t even lookin’ up to see the stained glass windows, all pretty and colorful. That church, it’s supposed to be a place of comfort, but they’re too busy worryin’ about their troubles to notice. Reminds me of when my neighbor, Martha, she was so busy frettin’ about her tomatoes not ripenin’ that she didn’t even see the beautiful sunset.
Now, if this card shows up when you’re askin’ about someone’s intentions, it’s like a warnin’ sign, like a rusty nail stickin’ outta a board. Might mean they’re comin’ from a place of need, like a hungry cat lookin’ for scraps. They might be hopin’ you can help ’em out, pull ’em outta the ditch, so to speak.
But don’t go thinkin’ it’s all doom and gloom. This here card, it can also mean someone’s lookin’ for a way outta their mess. Like when you’re stuck in the mud and you start lookin’ for a sturdy branch to grab onto. They might be searchin’ for stability, somethin’ solid to hold onto, like a good fence post in a storm.
Resilience, that’s another thing this card can point to. Like a dandelion pushin’ up through the cracks in the sidewalk, these folks might be down, but they ain’t out. They’re lookin’ for ways to bounce back, to find a little sunshine after the rain. Like when my prize-winnin’ pumpkin got squashed by a runaway wagon, I didn’t just give up. I planted new seeds and started again.
And sometimes, this card can mean someone’s lookin’ for healing. Maybe they’ve been hurt, like a bird with a broken wing. They’re lookin’ for someone to mend them, to help them fly again. Could be they’re feelin’ lost and confused, like a traveler without a map.
So, if you pull this Five of Pentacles card and you’re wonderin’ about someone’s intentions, look a little closer. See beyond the surface, like when you’re peelin’ an onion. They might be strugglin’, sure, but they might also be strong, resilient, and lookin’ for a way to heal. Just like we all are, in our own way.
