Yesterday’s card was the 5 of Pentacles. I’m always worried when this card comes up in readings I do for myself. This is probably because I crave security, money is a way many of us feel secure, and in many decks, the people shown look like they’re down on their luck.
The Morgan-Greer Tarot 5 of Swords is the card I drew and in this card, there are two people who look like they’ve fallen on hard times in front of a stained glass window I believe is in a church. Something interesting about this Five is that the astrological affiliation this card has is with Taurus, the Fixed Earth sign, The Hierophant is numbered V in the Major Arcana, and The Hierophant is also affiliated with Taurus. I think this card would be a Taurean person’s worst nightmare—they are known for their love of comfort and finery—but I can see how this loss is associated with the sign.
In Numerology, the number five is associated with unpredictability and inconstancy. While the four brought stability, the five brings strife and disruption. This card can be indicative of losing your possessions, your livelihood, even your home. I think, however, in this card, the people are ignoring the church (another link to the Hierophant) behind them. They could reach out for help, but they are disregarding that.
Peace and balance,
Erin
