Six of Pentacles
The Six of Pentacles symbolizes generosity, both spiritual and financial, emphasizing the importance of giving without judgment and receiving without humiliation. It represents the ebb and flow of community support and highlights that true generosity encompasses more than just monetary assistance. The inverted meaning warns against the risks of debt and the impact of diminishing others, suggesting that taking from oneself or others can lead to a more difficult future and decreased personal light.

General Meaning
This card is about generosity, both spiritual and financial. Can you give without judging? Can you take without feeling humiliated? Can you allow yourself to enter into the ebb and flow of community? I think this card gets a bad rap because people perceive it as “begging.” That’s not really accurate. Long ago (when these cards were made), there were no charity organizations. No United Way. No Human Rights Council. If you were going to give to those who were less fortunate than you, you did it in two places: in church or in the street. If we take the money aspect away from the pentacles, we can call this generosity—of spirit, of body, of mind. This can be listening to a friend, being a kind and caring lover, helping a child find their lost parent. When you give of yourself, that’s the Six of Pentacles. Money is in there, too, but money is just a tool. It’s what you do with it that’s important.
Inverted Meaning
Falling into debt is like stealing from future-you. When you take from yourself, you’re promising yourself and your family a more difficult future. I don’t think that a lot of people see it like this, which is why debt is so common. Stealing from other people eats a little bit of you away. Anytime you diminish the light of another human being, you diminish your light as well.
