The Six of Pentacles Meaning
This card symbolizes a balance of give and take. If something has been taken from you know that this will be returned to you but maybe in a different form. This card can also represent your generosity towards others. So you can be represented by either role in this card.
The image on the card shows two people down on their knees begging for help while another person is handing them coins. The person in the giving role is seemingly wealthy and has enough to give to others who are in need. He’s also holding scales showing that the scales are being balanced.
So the Six of Pentacles can represent a time of relief and recuperation in your life where you’re getting the help and support you need. This card also signifies that while you may be receiving charity at this time, this is just a temporary gift meant to get you out of hardship. Although after this it will be up to you to continue finding ways to maintain your financial security.
Therefore, when the Six of Pentacles comes up in a reading it means that there will be a fair outcome in a situation and you will get what you need or will be able to help in some way. Alternatively, the Six of Pentacles can also represent things like bread-crumbing, being overly generous and a need to bring balance to a situation as it may be too one-sided. Always look to the cards around it for clarification or to get a deeper meaning.
