Six of Pentacles Tarot Card Meaning

The Six of Pentacles stands for the balance between help given and received and sharing. Check together not only the size of the help but whether the promises and decision-making attached to it are fair. In a relationship where help passes back and forth, along with gratitude you must also look at whether each other's burdens are equal.

Reversed, it signals a call to look at giving and receiving that is out of balance, or help that demands something in return. Even if introduced as goodwill, the burden and promises that come with it must be clear. If it is unclear what obligation is attached to goodwill, the burden can keep growing even as you receive help.

The figure holding scales and handing coins to two people shows sharing and the decision-making of the one who gives together.

Relationships

Upright In romance, look at whether the shares of consideration and effort between you are in balance. Do not take the help you got from your partner for granted, and express thanks often in words.

Reversed In romance, check the obligations and decision-making that arise on the pretext of kindness. Look back together at whether either of you is trying to limit the other's choices on the basis of what has been done.

Work and study

Upright Check whether the distribution of rewards, opportunities and work burden at work is fair. When giving and receiving help at work, agree on the scope and the deadline in words to reduce misunderstanding.

Reversed Check at work the unfair distribution of opportunities and rewards. If good opportunities are crowding onto only certain people at work, ask the team for the standard of distribution.

Money and daily life

Upright Tell apart the terms of support and of a loan and check repayment or what is owed in return. When borrowing or lending money, leave the amount, the deadline and whether there is interest in a document.

Reversed Tell apart the price of support and a loan and the terms of repayment. If there is an obligation that comes with receiving money, accept only after confirming it in the contract.

Upright Write in sentences and confirm what is given and received and the promises that go with it. Decide one thing you can share from what you have, such as time or a skill, and offer it to one person. If you directly check the range in which help is given and received and the parts each can decide, it becomes easier to keep gratitude and fair promises together.

Reversed Check the terms of the exchange and adjust one excessive burden. Write the unspoken expectations attached to the help received and mark those you can refuse. If you find out the price attached to goodwill and the range in which you can refuse or adjust it, you can see the parts where your choice shrinks while receiving support.

The Six of Pentacles is giving and receiving as much as is needed to keep things balanced, and the Five of Pentacles is waiting for help from a position of lack. Together they suggest both the giver and the receiver should be clear about conditions and expectations.
