Upright Meaning:
When Five of Pentacles shows up in a health reading, it can indicate that you are not feeling your best, and that you are feeling abandoned – by the healthcare system, by loved ones who aren’t taking your health seriously, even by your own body. Since the Pentacles suit is represented by the Earth element, it pertains to the body, and in some cases illnesses are present within us, such as autoimmune or chronic pain issues, that make us feel like our body has betrayed or abandoned us.
Five of Pentacles in this position can illuminate such feelings you may be having.
Reversed Meaning:
When Five of Pentacles shows up reversed in a health reading, it can be taken to mean that you would do well to pay more attention to your health, and where you may be abandoning yourself in that regard. Perhaps you have been feeling stagnant and not caring for yourself in the ways you normally do.
