Five of Pentacles

Financial Troubles

Description of the Illustration: Mary clasps the toddler Jesus to her breast as she crouches in fear upon the back of a bull lead by her husband Joseph; they are fleeing to Egypt to escape from Herod’s soldiers who search to destroy their son. Five pentacles trail behind them in the snow, as if they lost five coins in their flight. Joseph grasps the planet Mercury in his hand, looking at it as though consulting a compass for direction. A red sphere (Geburah) peeks over the bottom center edge of the card.
