Feeling left out in the cold; material or emotional hardship.
Five of Pentacles upright
Feeling left out in the cold; material or emotional hardship. Pentacles belong to earth: money, work, the body and the home. A Pentacles card is about what is concrete and lasting.
Five of Pentacles reversed
Help is found; you realize the door was right beside you all along.
A reversed card is not automatically bad news. It can mean the upright meaning is weaker, turned inward, or flipped; the cards around it tell you which.
In love and relationships
Feeling shut out; lonely or unsupported in the relationship.
Work and money
Financial strain; a job loss or a lean stretch that drags on.
Advice
Help is right there by the door, and you're choosing to stay outside. Asking doesn't make you smaller. Choosing whom to ask is far better than not asking at all.
Is Five of Pentacles yes or no?
No. This card leans toward no, or not like this: what you are asking about runs into the obstacle the card describes.
