Upright meaning

The Six of Pentacles is about the flow of giving and receiving. Resources move fairly: you may be in a position to help others, or you may receive help, a gift, a loan or support. The scales show balance and fairness. Give generously, receive gratefully, and keep the exchange honest. Charity and kindness bring blessings.

Reversed meaning

Reversed, giving becomes unequal. There may be debts, strings attached, or someone taking advantage. Make sure the exchange is fair.

Love and relationships

In love, generosity and balance. Both partners give and receive.

Work and career

At work, fair pay, a raise, sponsorship or help from a mentor. Share your knowledge.

Money

With money, financial help, a loan repaid, or the chance to give. Budget fairly.

Advice

Give and receive with an open, fair heart.
