Five of Pentacles – Timing
When will something happen answer?
If it is a question that involves around the timing of an event and you pull the Five of Pentacles, this would mean that whatever you desire or wonder about will manifest. Still, it will take time, as an Earth element indicates growth, but a steady and long one.
How soon is that, it would be kind of complicated because it could mean Autumn time, or that of a Zodiac Sign season Taurus, Virgo or Capricorn.
It would also be counted in months, or around the 5th, 14th, 23rd, of a month. The way you want to interpret this is keeping in mind that whatever you are asking about is coming slowly, but surely, from there, you would figure out the time.
With the Pentacles Suit, the best way to go around figuring out the time would always be to think 2-5 months later, and it would go something like this: If it is already Autumn, your best bet would be around Capricorn or Taurus season, which is five months away, or around six months away. Either way is coming, but it needs time to grow into what you desire.

Interaction with the Cup Suits
The Cup Suits represent emotions, feelings, relationships, and contract-ships. This is a Suit associated with the Water element. If we were to draw the Five of Pentacles along with the Cup Suits, this indicates that your relationships and family situation is struggling. You have not paid enough attention or energy, and now they feel distant. Your emotions are all over the place; you are moody and not finding the energy to deal with it. Maybe you are the one choosing to leave them behind.
Interaction with the Pentacles Suits
The Five of Pentacles, along with another card of the Pentacles Suit, it’s all about finances and prosperity. It could indicate that your financial strategies have not worked, or your investments did not turn out as expected. You find your work field hard to maintain. You may even be losing money, a large sum of money, especially if you are into gambling or make big expenses over things you don’t need.
Interaction with the Swords Suits
The Swords Suit, along with the Five of Pentacles, is also an exciting drawing. The Swords Suit gets its share of being a negative suit. This spread would indicate that you are finding a hard time to breathe. The problems have piled up, causing you anxiety, keeping you up at night, and draining you mentally, physically, spiritually, and emotionally. You may also have been dealing with depression, in which case you should seek help because this is a passing state, you don’t want to let yourself slip.
Interaction with the Wands Suits
The Five of Pentacles and the Wands Suit is a beautiful combination that foretells failed action. You lack the strength or the support to pull the moves you have made up in your mind. Or you may have taken action, deciding on a path, or choosing a specific person, whatever choice has led you to this point in your life where you feel abandoned and possibly lacking the means to support yourself or improve your situation. The Wands Suit spread also reminds you that there is fire left in you, and there is always another path and another opportunity, so spin and choose again.
Overall, the Five of Pentacles, either by itself or pulled in a tarot card draw, is a card of taking steps backward, feeling like a failure, and left out in the cold, but it can also reverse and change the whole world for you. All it matters is how hard you will work on yourself and your life.
