Five of Pentacles
Goldilocks and the Three Bears
Symbols and Meaning
Bears can symbolize fierce protection. The golden locks of the girl
are purity and innocence, but the shadow on the patchwork quilt
reflects her dark inner being. The pillow represents dreamland and the
separation between earthly sensations and unconscious thought
processes. The painting depicts three bears walking through the
forest, exemplifying the connection with the wild. The girl is wearing
blue. In this context, the blue suggests that she is a fish out of
water and does not belong in the three bears' home. She has merely
used the contents to assuage immediate physical needs without
considering the potential consequences of her actions.

The Five of Disks
The Lord of Worry is most aptly titled, for when this card comes up in
a reading, there looks to be financial, material or domestic trouble
on the horizon. Something poses a threat to your overall security.
This might be an unexpected expense, or job worries, or maybe even a
disturbance in your family life.
There will always be something to worry about, when the 5 of Disks
comes up. But there's one important thing to bear in mind - whatever
is causing the problem is much more of a threat than it is a reality.
Worrying about it might just make it worse than it needs to be!
When the Lord of Worry is about, anxiety is the emotion of the moment.
We look to the future and we see something nasty ahead. Then we sit
and worry about it. Try to remember - what you put your attention on
grows. So if you worry about your overdraft, it will get bigger!
That's not, of course, to say you should not do all you are able to
DO, in an awkward situation - just that once you have, there's no
point in worrying about it.
Sometimes we go through a stage in our lives where we feel as though,
whatever good comes to us, it is bound to be undermined and darkened
by negativity and sadness, that we cannot help but be disappointed.
Yet just by holding that view, we invite negativity in, to add to the
real problems we already had.
It isn't easy to try to be accepting and positive and trusting when
life is giving us a hard time - but accept we must, if we don't want
to make things worse!
So - the 5 of Disks indicates a possible threat to our security. It is
important not to feed that possibility with our own fear. Fear is a
powerful emotion. It can rule if we let it. When this card comes up,
remember that disturbance is possible - not probable. Do all you can
to avert it.
Working with the Five of Disks
All the 5's in the deck are demanding cards - the number five relates
to the planet Mars, which can sometimes have a disruptive destructive
energy. On the other hand though, Martian power, strength and
determination are necessary attributes to break through obstacles and
difficulties.
The Lord of Worry is mostly about anxiety around events which threaten
our financial or physical security - notice this card indicates the
anxiety, rather than the event itself. Often, when we are under the
influence of this card, we worry needlessly about situations which
have not yet come to pass.
Sometimes, rather than our anxieties being centred on finances, they
can revolve around basic family security - whether our partner cares
about us, whether things in our home environment are as we would wish
them to be. You might find yourself worrying about your children, your
parents, your partner.
Anxiety has a nasty habit of creating yet more anxiety. We worry.
Because we worry, we become stressed. As the stress level mounts we
feel our ability to cope recedes. That makes us feel vulnerable. And
then of course we get more anxious.
What is needed here is a method of breaking into the cycle of worry
and distress, in order to clear away confusion and get to the heart of
things. It often helps, when you feel like this, to write down what
you feel worried about. And then you can go over the list deciding
what is real, and what imaginary.
Once you've whittled away the phantoms, you will be left with a list
of more realistic things. Now cross off all those matters that either
you cannot alter, or have not yet made themselves manifest.
Now you have only the real things to worry about left. With a bit of
luck, your list should be much much shorter now. Therefore you can
direct all the energy you were using to worry into finding workable
solutions to your difficulties.
Affirmation: I can deal with my life - it is my most precious possession.

FIVE OF PENTACLES
Attribution - Mercury in Taurus
Lord of Worry
The suit of Pentacles represents the element earth. This is the suit
through which we can appreciate what we have been given and it shows
how we experience the external world.
Pentacles can represent money matters, resources, security, material
concerns, prosperity, wealth, service, status, and physical
experiences in the body.
The number five represents disrupted stability, struggle, uncertainty,
upset, change, disruption, adversity, conflict, loss, disappointment,
challenge and difficulties. It also indicates something temporary or
repetitive – you keep going back to the same issue over and over
again. According to Paul Foster Case the number 5 represents FEAR. We
sometimes fear our own actions and must remain aware of how they
affect our decisions.
Rider-Waite Imagery
The number five represents restriction. The suit of pentacles is
related to the element of earth and covers the physical world, health
and financial matters. A man and a woman are shown on this card
walking through the snow barefoot. They are both poorly dressed and
look distressed. The man is walking on crutches and the woman hunched
over. They are walking past a building with a colorful stained glassed
window. The man is wearing a bell. The bell is a symbol of liberty and
freedom and of letting yourself be heard. He needs to let himself be
heard despite the difficult circumstances.

The Pictorial Key to the Tarot by Arthur Edward Waite (1911)
Two mendicants in a snow-storm pass a lighted casement.
Divinatory Meanings
Upright: The card foretells material trouble above all, whether in the
form illustrated–that is, destitution–or otherwise. For some
cartomancists, it is a card of love and lovers-wife, husband, friend,
mistress; also concordance, affinities. These alternatives cannot be
harmonized.
Reversed: Disorder, chaos, ruin, discord, profligacy.
Some Additional Meanings of the Lesser Arcana:
Five: Conquest of fortune by reason. Reversed: Troubles in love.
UPRIGHT
Trying times.
A cry for help.
Instability.
Anxiety about practical matters.
Do not gamble with your future, conserve your resources.
Impoverishment, deprivation, stress, difficulties, loss, hardship.
Risk.
Jealousy.
Despair and lack of faith.
Confront your limitations and develop your abilities.
There is a possible threat to your security.
Unexpected expense.
Disruption in home life – moving, needy family members.
Disagreement about money matters.
Change in social status that affects your popularity.
A purchase that is more expensive than you anticipated.
Counting pennies.
Physically tired, overworked, stressed.
This is a temporary instability rather than a complete depletion.
Take care of your health; stress and worry can lead to accidents and/or illness.
Having to cut back until you recover.
Disregard for the living standards and social position of the
preceding 4 of Pentacles.
Voluntary state of hardship.
Mixed reaction to drugs, dietary restrictions due to health problems. (E. Hazel)
REVERSED
A secret love affair.
Forgiveness and sympathy are offered.
Temporary work or short term work.
Slow healing process.
A job may be lost.
Confusion, an inability to solve a crisis.
Blaming others for our misfortunes.
You are altering or questioning your "security blanket".

Healthier lifestyle.
Getting your feet back under you.
You do not have the means to get out of the jam you are in.
Money isn't everything.

This week's theme
Words to describe people
This week's words
wastrel
A.Word.A.Day with Anu Garg
"I hate mankind, for I think myself one of the best of them, and I
know how bad I am." Those candid words of Samuel Johnson,
lexicographer extraordinaire, provide a perceptive observation on the
human condition. A language is a mirror of its people.
As a disinterested record of the language, a dictionary serves as an
accurate window to the culture. It's not surprising that there are
more words to describe people who fall on the wrong side than on the
good. In this week's AWAD we'll look at words for people on both
sides.
wastrel
PRONUNCIATION:
(WAY-struhl)
MEANING:
noun: A good-for-nothing, wasteful person.
ETYMOLOGY:
Via French from Latin vasatre (to lay waste), from vastus (desert,
empty) + -rel (a diminutive or pejorative suffix). Earliest documented
use: 1589.
USAGE:
"With Greece at the center of a cyclone that threatens the global
economy, foreign citizens believe that their taxes have been raised to
bail out the wastrel Greeks."
Nikos Konstandaras; Orwell's Elephant; Kathimerini (Athens, Greece);
Oct 3, 2011.

A THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
The more sand that has escaped from the hourglass of our life, the
clearer we should see through it. -Jean-Paul Sartre, writer and
philosopher (1905-1980)

On This Day:
Monday February 6, 2012
This is the 37th day of the year, with 329 days remaining in 2012.
Fact of the Day: swimming
In antiquity, swimming flourished in Rome, Greece, and Japan. Greeks
could fling an insult against a person by saying that he could neither
run nor swim. During the middle ages (5-15th centuries), the skill
became rare, partly because people associated prolonged immersion in
water with contagious diseases. The breaststroke traces back to the
17th century. American Indians knew how to swim--much faster than the
British. By 1837 competitive swimming took place in England. Swimming
competitions gained popularity in America by the end of the 19th
century. Widespread, systematic training in swimming took place during
World War II in association with combat preparation.
