Six of Pentacles

Whether you’re the one giving or receiving, the key idea behind the Six of Pentacles is generosity. If you’re a person who’s been fortunate, this card may be reminding you that it’s time to give. If you receive this card during a time when you could use a little extra help, it’s a good idea to reach out to someone who cares about you. As soon as you ask for assistance, you’ll find that the other party is more than happy to oblige you. The Six of Pentacles is a card that speaks to mirroring. Although you may feel as if you’re asking for a charitable act, ask any philanthropist or great philosopher and they’ll tell you no one does anything for nothing. When you ask someone for help, you’re helping them too, if only to help them feel good about themselves.

Six of Pentacles Reversed

The Six of Pentacles, in its reversed position, comes up for bullies. While a bully clearly has the power to influence people, they’re not using it for the good it can be. If you’re a person fortunate with this power but often been feeling stuck or stagnant, you have to realize you won’t survive closed off like this. Open your heart and help others. This card implores you to ask for help as well. When you get this reversed card in a reading, it’s a definite sign of an imbalance. Similar to the upright Six of Pentacles, the reversed Six of Pentacles speaks to a strong need to accept, give, and receive all at the same time.
