The Rainmaker of Pentacles card indicates that the querent has reached a stage in their lives where they are confident, independent and self-sufficient. Through hard work, this person is now ready to enjoy money, leisure and material comfort. The difficulties that were faced in the earlier journey of the pentacles appear to be over. The Rainmaker conveys not only joy, but also the feeling of security and freedom that material wealth can bring. Looking back, the querent can now celebrate the difficulties, the struggles and the hard work that lined her path. Her previous challenges gave her the wider perspective she needs to understand the spiritual value of her success. Knowing how difficult it was to get here, she intends to enjoy every single day that is given to her.

Reversed Meanings: not earning your wealth, shady investments, gold-digger, cheap, theft, termination, marrying for money/ status, lack of sophistication/elegance, lack of independence/stability/security, lack of self-discipline, over-indulgence, con artist, possible loss, working too hard, caution, dishonesty, prostitution, deceit, miscarriage, reckless spending, superficial, no style, failure, scams, property damage

The Rainmaker reversed can be indicative of suffering from financial issues. It can perhaps indicate a false display of security and stability. There may be a desire here to keep up appearances – to have all the finer things in life even when we cannot afford to do so. Where does this stem from?
