Card Description
A wealthy merchant holds scales in one hand while distributing coins to two kneeling beggars with the other. Six pentacles float above the scene. The merchant's balanced scales suggest fair exchange, while his generous gesture represents the flow of resources between those who have and those who need.
Upright Meaning
The Six of Pentacles (also called Six of Coins) represents the balanced exchange of resources, whether material or emotional. This card appears when you're either in a position to help others or receiving assistance yourself. In love readings, it suggests mutual support and generosity between partners, or acts of kindness that strengthen bonds. Career-wise, it can indicate bonuses, raises, loans, investments, or mentorship opportunities.
Reversed Meaning
Unequal exchanges, conditional generosity, or feeling taken advantage of in giving or receiving. You might be giving with strings attached, receiving help that comes with too high a cost, or struggling with debt and power imbalances. In relationships, it can point to one person always giving while the other takes. The reversed Six suggests examining the true motivations behind generosity.
