5 of Pentacles as a Daily Tarot Oracle Card
Oracle Message: Difficulties abound, but know this too, shall pass.
It will be a difficult day in many ways. The 5 of Pentacles is a card of struggles and material difficulties. Doors close and every attempt at forward motion is met with obstacle after obstacle.
Working is often a thankless task. There may be times today when you wonder what it’s all for. You may question what you are even doing. Following a dream is one thing, putting food on the table is another…
Now while this may sound rather gloomy – we cannot escape the complexity of life and our daily struggles. Rose coloured glasses belong in the movies. You may feel that you have no support, you may feel all alone in this world in your struggles and that there is no help or respite. The door is closed because it’s cold outside. All you have to do is knock and ask to come in.
