Tarot fives

✨ Tarot Fives: the growing pains ✨

If tarot were a story, the Fives would be the moment where things get uncomfortable.

Not broken — just challenged.

Five energy shows up when reality bumps up against expectations.

When what should be happening… isn’t.

And the ego, heart, or plans have to recalibrate.

✨ Five of Cups — grief, disappointment, emotional hangovers. Feeling the loss before noticing what still remains.

✨ Five of Pentacles — lack, scarcity, feeling left out in the cold (sometimes emotionally, not just financially).

✨ Five of Wands — conflict, competition, too many voices talking at once.

✨ Five of Swords — winning at a cost. Power struggles. Words that linger longer than intended.

✨ Five of Cups — emotional pain that asks to be felt, not rushed past.

The Fives aren’t here to punish you.

They show up when growth is unavoidable.

They ask:

Where are you resisting the lesson?

What are you clinging to that no longer fits?

And what happens if you stop fighting the moment and listen instead?

Fives remind us that change isn’t always gentle — but it is purposeful.

Sit with it.

There’s wisdom here. 🌙
