Card 69 • pentacles

Six of Pentacles

Brief Description

The Six of Brooches illustrates a power dynamic characterized by hierarchy and submission, typically represented by Queen Beryl and her relationship with Zoisite and Kunzite. It signifies a shift in power that leads to an equilibrium, underscoring that generosity often invites reciprocity. However, this card hints at a deeper framework, where roles of provider and receiver may lead to feelings of inequality and dependency. In its reversed position, it reveals disruptions within relationships, highlighting struggles around the distribution of resources and potential resentment from those receiving aid.

Card Imagery

Queen Beryl tosses Brooches at Zoisite and Kunzite, who bow and cower. This is an established hierarchy of submission, with Beryl dominating the relationship and the men allowing it. She grants them the Brooches, but does so on the basis of her own superiority. Queen Beryl can represent justice or the force of life, giving Zoisite and Kunzite what they can handle, or this is all she can afford to give. Maybe she gives them just enough for them to keep crawling back. She hides her true motive for fear of revealing too much.

Card Significance

On the surface, the card signifies a shift in power that results in equilibrium and reminds us that generosity is almost always reciprocated. However, the addition of the hierarchy suggests a deeper level to the charity. Sometimes we are Beryl, providing for others, other times we are Zoisite and Kunzite, begging. We're in a stable relationship, but it's unequal and may prevent us from seeking our own independence.

Reversed Meaning

The Six can represent a stable, but unequal and unsatisfying relationship or situation that is disrupted. Whether this results in more equality depends on the courage of the people affected. It indicates that the provider struggles to distribute more freely or it can mean resentment by the ones receiving the charity. The Six can also mean we're no longer asking for help either because of arrogance or suspicion of the giver's motives.

Visual Description

A tall woman in a flowing purple gown stands on a flight of cracked, violet-tinged stairs and lets six golden brooches tumble down toward two kneeling figures below. The brooches are round, ornate, and glow with a warm gold; they arc in midair between giver and recipients. One kneeling figure has long white hair and a pale cloak, placing a hand on the shoulder of a second figure with reddish-brown hair who is bowed and reaching upward. A decorative gold border and a crescent moon motif frame the scene, and a banner at the bottom reads 'Six of Brooches.'
