Drawing The Fool Card And 5 Of Pentacles Tarot Cards Together | What Do They Mean When Together? | A Complete Guide

A key aspect of reading your own tarot is interpreting cards. For a beginner interpreting a single card can be fine, as there are plenty of resources to help you out, however interpreting two or more can be very tricky.

However, if you have been practising single card readings for a while a 2 card spread will be a great introduction into reading multiple cards.

As you’ve found this page, you’re probably wondering how to interpret the The Fool card and 5 Of Pentacles card together in particular.

The The Fool card and 5 Of Pentacles have unique qualities and will interact with each other in different ways depending on what kind of reading you are doing.

What does The Fool and 5 Of Pentacles mean together?

The Fool tarot card means that I should take some chances and try some new things. I should explore some new paths and have some new adventures. This is a good time for me to start something new. The 5 Of Pentacles tarot card means that I should be careful of my health. I may have to worry about money. I may feel isolated from others.

The meaning of the cards will depend on what kind of reading you are doing and the question you asked the deck. This is a guide covering the general meanings of the cards and how they relate to each other.

Common 2-card spreads

Whilst it’s great to know who these two cards interact with each other, it’s important to note that the meaning will depend on the context of your spread

The most common 2 card spreads I recommend to newer readers are:

• The 2 card cross (otherwise known as “The Fool’s Journey”)
• The 2 card “Yes or No”

“The Fool’s Journey”

Setup: The two card cross is where you place two cards face up, one placed vertically and with one laying horizontally over

Interpretation: The 2 cards represent a “situation” and a “challenge”. The first card will describe the situation you are in with the second horizontal card being the “challenge” crossing you (literally crossing you in this case!)

Reading: Using the overviews in this guide is a great way to start. First, look at the meanings of the 2 cards, and see how they might relate either as your “situation” or “challenge”. Once you have that you can look at the general overview for how the two cards interact with each other.

The benefit of this spread is that it can give clarity when you’re feeling uncertain or anxious. Once you have clarity of thought, and a strong idea of what your challenge is you can find solutions to help your situation

The 2 card “Yes or No”

Setup: The 2 card “Yes or No” is where you place two cards face up side by side, whilst asking your deck a “yes or no” question.

Interpretation: Each card in a tarot deck has a “yes” or a “no” meaning. Look at the meanings of each card, and you will have your answer.

The benefit of this is you get a stronger yes or no compared to a single card draw. You may find you often get a mix of “yes or no”, and this is fine. It simply means there is doubt, or things are not yet clear.

Yes or No meaning

Things are a bit tricky for this combination, as The Fool and 5 Of Pentacles mean different things. The cards are unsure about your question, or the answer to the question has not yet been decided.

The “Yes” and “No” meanings can differ from reader to reader. The meanings here are based on what I believe are the generally accepted definitions.

What does The Fool mean?

For health, The Fool Tarot card means that it is time to take a chance and try something new. Perhaps there is a new diet or exercise regime that you have been wanting to try, or maybe you need to seek out some new medical advice. Whatever it is, The Fool is urging you to take that first step and trust that everything will work out for the best.

For finances, The Fool Tarot card means that you should take a chance and invest in something new. It could be a new business venture, or maybe you should put your money into something that you have always wanted to do but never had the guts to try. Whatever it is, The Fool is urging you to take that leap of faith and see where it takes you.

For relationships, The Fool Tarot card means that it is time to take a chance and open yourself up to new possibilities. Perhaps you have been wanting to try something new in your relationship, or maybe you need to take a chance and meet someone new. Whatever it is, The Fool is urging you to take that first step and see where it takes you.
