When the Queen of Cups in the upright position is accompanied by the Five of Pentacles also in the upright position, it indicates a situation where a person full of empathy and love faces material difficulties. They might be too generous and need a more reasonable approach to spending. An example could be a mother who buys her children everything they want, forgetting her own needs.

Combination of reversed card Five of Pentacles and card Queen of Cups

When the Queen of Cups remains upright, but the Five of Pentacles is reversed, we see a person with great emotional wealth who struggles to escape a difficult financial situation. They may be trying to change their life, but old habits hold them back. For example, someone trying to quit smoking but constantly returning to their bad habit.

If the Queen of Cups is reversed and the Five of Pentacles remains upright, it depicts someone who has lost their ability to empathize due to material problems. For example, a person so preoccupied with survival that they forget about their loved ones.

Finally, when both cards are turned over, we see a person struggling in emotional and material aspects. He may have shut himself off from the world and lost the ability to enjoy and feel. This could be someone experiencing deep depression after losing a job or another significant life tragedy.
