Meaning of the Six of Pentacles in a Reading

The number Six in the Tarot Cards relates to resolving and moving on from the challenges and crises indicated by the Fives. There is an opportunity now to resolve the problems and poverty faced in the Five of Pentacles. When we get plenty of Sixes in a tarot reading, whether it’s online, or in “real life”, and especially when doing a big Celtic Cross Spread, we know that we are working to solve our problems.

We may breathe a sigh of relief, knowing that our angels have supported us through a tough time. The Six of Pentacles, relating to the element of earth and therefore material things, is about financial assistance to help us. We are either giving it to someone in need or getting that support we need.

Symbolism of the Six of Pentacles

This card is much gentler than the intense Five of Pentacles. It depicts a wealthy man holding scales, handing money to the poor. His expression is kind, and the beggars receiving his charity seem to be grateful.

When it comes to getting this card in a tarot reading, we may see this help as heaven-sent. It is as if we are having angelic assistance… if we are in the position of receiving. If we are the giver, we may appear like an angel sent to those in distress. The scales talk about giving and receiving only what we can give or receive back. All in balance; neither too much nor too little.

Six of Pentacles in the Past
