Five of Pentacles

Artist: Megan Nyholm

The Five of Pentacles tells the story of lost resources. As a student, there are countless things that demand not only our attention, money but also time, our most limited resource. Things like school, work, monetary stress, food insecurity and mental health pile up. We witness this scene layout for us without a figure inhabiting it as they are too busy to bother, so consumed with life’s tasks. While we might be experiencing loss currently the Five of Pentacles also yearns for what’s to come, through a window we see a church with pentacles inlaid, hopeful for security in the future.
