Five of Pentacles

The Five of Pentacles has a very easy solution, which is to focus on your strengths. I read this card as a misallocation of attention rather than as genuine lack. They’re out in the cold walking past a window that’s lit, and they don’t look up. So the active version of the instruction is to stop calling attention to your weaknesses, and I mean that socially as much as internally. If there’s a decision in front of you, focus on why you can rather than why you can’t. And this is a good place to say a general rule of mine: all the fives in the deck have very easy solutions. In the good stuff, this one reads as coming out of the cold.
