Six of Pentacles
The Six of Pentacles centers on the balance of giving and receiving, emphasizing fairness in exchanges and the potential inequality that arises when help is conditional. Upright, it can indicate charity, assistance, small favors, or transactional generosity, as well as frustration with repeated demands on resources or unequal compensation. Reversed, it warns of stinginess, resentment in offered help, exploitation, or exhaustion from constant service and suggests a deal or request may need to be refused. In magickal practice the card is used to attract financial help and to promote generosity and compassion.

Visual Description
A tall man in a green robe and white stole stands in a sunlit clearing, offering small plates with coins to two kneeling figures. One kneeler, a blonde woman, reaches up with both hands to receive a plate while the other drinks from a cup marked with a pentacle. Six pentacle coins are set in a circle on the grass at their feet. Trees and soft foliage frame the scene and a small animal pokes around near the figures' feet.
