Card 69 • pentacles

Six of Pentacles

Brief Description

The image shows a thirsty fish ignoring life-saving water in favor of six shining coins, symbolizing a focus on material wealth at the expense of survival or essential needs. Upright, the card speaks of charity, sharing prosperity, benefactors, and gratitude, but it also warns of misguided priorities. Reversed, it highlights scams, greed, selfishness, inability to repay debts, and ulterior motives disguised as benevolence. The card advises examining motives, balancing giving and receiving, and ensuring that generosity or attention to material gain does not obscure what is truly necessary.

Visual Description

A tall fish-like humanoid figure in a blue scaled robe stands centrally, its head topped by a tilted horned vessel that drips water. Multiple red, clawed arms extend from its body, each hand holding a gold coin engraved with a profile. A purple fish with an open mouth lies at its feet on sandy ground while a small pyramid and scattered stars occupy the horizon; the Roman numeral VI sits at the top. The bottom border reads the title 'SIX OF COINS.'
