Five of Pentacles, reversed

The Five of Pentacles shows us two people, struggling, beat up by life, but persevering through a show storm  They may look tired, beaten, and struggling, but they are moving forward.  There is a light of the stained glass is symbolic of faith in God, the creator and overseer.  God is always watching over us, in good times and in bad.

The reverse of the Five of Pentacles would indicate that times may be tough they are not as tough as they could be - this is a temporary situation. Keep focus, keep moving forward, trust in God and God will see you through to the other side.

9 of Wands

The 9 of Wands shows a man who has been beaten, bandaged, but keeping an eye out for the next onslaught that he thinks might be coming.   Sometimes we feel that way when we've been caught in an unexpected battle or fight that seemingly came from no where.  The urge is to build a wall around ourselves, to with draw - sometimes there's a need for that just to regroup, however we cannot allow ourselves to stay behind our wall.  We must get ourselves back out there and attempt and understand what caused the situation in the first place. Sometimes  we'll find that there was no rhyme or reason why the attack came.  In those situations, listen to the Universe as you will receive guidance to deal with the person or situation.  At other times, we'll find out that the other party had a misperception about us and make amends.  But regardless, we should always be positive, have love in our hearts, and be willing to forgive even when the other party refuses to.
