Six of Pentacles

Traditional Meaning

Charity. Generosity. Giving to those less fortunate.

Going Deeper

This is certainly a better card than its predecessor, yet it still doesn't promise riches. What we have here is the energy necessary for long-term growth. The six promises that our needs will be met for the next few months. However, we must give as much as we receive to build the momentum to move forward into the next stage. If we do well here, we may be allowed to skip straight towards the nine or even ten of pentacles. The timing of six months is common with this card, and it can often signify a time of good food, comfort and enjoying time with others. It's still too early to break out the champagne, but you are already over halfway to where you need to be. There's an element of charity within this card; we may be asked, expected or just feel compelled to share more with others less fortunate. Perhaps we’ll be on the receiving end of someone else's generosity.

Astro Insight

The six of pentacles is related to the Moon in Taurus. There is emotional stability in the current circumstances, yet further work is needed to achieve complete satisfaction.

Examples With Other Cards

The Empress will suggest that you may need to share food or emotional warmth, whereas The Hierophant suggests wisdom or advice being given to someone in need.
