Five of the Pentacles in your reading

You feel the cold in your bones when you see this card coming (Rider Waite) and you can hardly move. One thing these people have to know know is that their (inner) poverty will not last forever. At the moment it is difficult to see that help is nearby, but it really is. Teach yourself to focus on what you do have and in particular that what you want. Too often we focus on negative things and cry about that. It only makes us depressed and makes it harder to change.

Do you feel abandoned? Of course it may be that someone has decided to cut you out of a  friendship or relationship. Make sure you don?t break your friendship with yourself.

Look closely at what your role was in the whole situation and decide to do it differently in the future when it might occur again. Then let go and look to the future instead of what previously happened. Life it too beautiful to mourn.

Know that you're a part of the Universe. If you understand that essence thoroughly then you will understand that loneliness is no longer needed. Focus on yourself and blow away those gray clouds around your head. If you want you can see that the deficits are not as big as you once thought. There is abundance present in other things. Just as long as you want to see them.
