The Tarot Deck

5 of Pentacles of the Tarot Deck – Minor Arcana – Two beggars walk through the snow passing by a window full of light and warmth.

Upright: The coming of material trouble, financial problems, perhaps the loss of job. Another interpretation, you may need to seek the support of family and friends to get through some hard times, you only need to ask. These two alternative meanings may be harmonized or coordinated. As with any difficult times it may strengthen your character and the relationships of those who stood by you.

Reversed: You have just come out of your hard times. There is friction with those who should be helping you. Or you are being reckless only to feed the hardships of your current situation.

Four of Pentacles of the Tarot Deck – Minor Arcana – A crowned figure sits outside a city. The figure firmly grasps a pentacle in his, with two pentacles secured beneath his feet, and balances a pentacle on his crown.

Upright: Having a firm grip and control of your possessions, often being finances but can be any of your possessions, certainly material. Inheritance.

Reversed: A warning about becoming to cheap, stingy, hording your possessions. Miserly. Control freak, micro-managing to the point of causing opposition.

Eight of Pentacles Tarot card – Minor Arcana
An artisan uses his skills to create pentacles. He shows off his trophies and skills by placing them high on a tree.

Upright:
Your skills are developing. These skills may be for work and employment, a hobby or craft. The eight of pentacles lets you know you are well on your way to becoming an expert.

Reversed:
Lack of ambition to build those skills. Using your skill for deception. Vanity and Greed.

Six of Pentacles of the Tarot Deck – Minor Arcana – An individual weighs out his money or good fortune and passes it on to those you need it more. This action demonstrates his success in life as well as his goodness of heart. This Tarot card is for those who believe what comes around goes around.

Upright: Generosity toward you or from you.

Reversed: Desire, jealousy, greed.

Two of Pentacles of the Tarot Deck – Minor Arcana – A young man jungles and dances like in a circus act although his face is serious. The two pentacles being juggled are connected by an endless rope in the shape of infinity. There are two ships riding large waves perhaps struggling against the weather or currents.

Upright: This Tarot card could be of fun, cheerfulness, and recreation. On a more serious note it can be a show of multitasking or of juggling your time, money, and efforts (your resources) between jobs or responsibilities. You are learning where your resources should be concentrated for the best returns. What investments? Which job? The two of pentacles could also represent an obstacle in the form of written news although I do not know/see the symbology for this.

Reversed: The fun or cheerfulness is forced. Having trouble juggling those resources.
