Ah yes, victim mentality. This is something that I watch very carefully in myself and also notice in others. I try to always make sure I am not victimizing myself, it was something I used to do and it never made anything better. I do think the 5 of pentacles can be interpreted as victim mentality. I find it helpful to look at the cards next to it (4 and 6) of pentacles to get more clues about how one might fall into this and get out.
Yes! There is definitely context that needs to be seen. I think looking at the fellow fives (cups and wands especially) can also help shed light. I am also working on working thru the familial trait of victimhood.
I love that perspective! I think that we push others away for many reasons (my ridiculous independence is definitely a shadow of mine) but absolutely some people do it so that they can be the victim in their story.
I’m sorry that you are going through that with your sister 💜 I’m in a precarious situation with my sister at the moment and it is so hard to know that until they reach a certain point of realisation that actually you can’t do anything to help.
