FIVE OF PENTACLES


Outside the Sanctuario de Guadalupe in Santa Fe, New Mexico, a group of day laborers wait in all extremes of weather, hoping to be hired. There is a feeling of desperation, as they try to flag down passing cars. Fives are about struggle, but  are also a mid-way point toward achieving physical or financial comfort. A giant statue of the Great Mother Guadalupe watches over the men. On her cloak are five pentacles. 

Meaning: Balance your struggles with hope.
