Six of Pentacles
The Six of Coins emphasizes generosity, philanthropy, and the balanced exchange of resources for the greater good. Upright, it indicates sharing wealth with authentic, positive intent and leveraging resources to benefit others rather than seeking profit. Reversed, it warns of conditional or performative charity motivated by expectation of gratitude, which can lead to resentment and stinginess. The card calls for honest examination of motives around giving and encourages genuine, balanced generosity over hollow gestures.

The Six of Coins suggests the sharing of wealth and putting your money where your mouth is. Resources are exchanged to benefit the greater good, and kindness is rewarded. Money is bequeathed in a manner that is motivated by generosity instead of profit. You are experiencing a moment wherein wealth is leveraged for positive ends. This is the card of philanthropy.
Reverse
In this position, the card warns of empty charity masquerading as kindness. Your generosity is motivated by an expectation of gratitude, which it does not often yield. As a result, you find yourself retreating into a miserly place. You feel like your goodwill and generosity have been wasted. You would like your words to yield treasures, but everything you say rings like the hollow croak of a toad.
