Your strength and authority come from inside, from your steady belief in yourself, your deep bond to your preferences.

You may be using your powers to manipulate others to fulfill your special needs. Or you may be applying your superior intellect to make others appear inferior.

Six of Pentacles
Upright
Giving, receiving, sharing wealth, generosity, charity
The Six of Pentacles is a card of giving and accepting. Sometimes, you are on the giving side; other times, on the receiving side. It’s a continuous circle of growth, and this card is a notice that harmony can change at any time. You maybe like the rich man in this card, sharing your abundance with others. You have acquired great abundance and are now in a place to grant financial support to those in lack. Even if you are not financially rich, you give up your time, energy, love and care to people, understanding it will be honored. There may be moments when you question if you can really manage to provide generously to others – and the guidance of the Six of Pentacles is to believe that every giving you do is appreciated and will get back to you.
Furthermore, you may be on getting other people’s generosity, receiving these contributions with appreciation. This will help you to go back on your feet and to eventually pay the charitable company or person, either with your wealth or other resources. You will also need to find ways in which you can become more independent. The danger of receiving a gift is that you become reliant on it and cannot look after yourself. Be careful that you are not getting passive or noticeably hopeless as a consequence of the donation that someone else is granting you.
Finally, the Six of Pentacles is a card describing financial balance. The money is circulating in and out are stable, and you are grateful for what you have and glad to share with others in lack.
Reversed
Self-care, unpaid debts, one-sided charity
The reversed Six of Pentacles suggests you make sure you are also contributing to yourself. A little consideration will help a lot, particularly if you have been giving to others for a prolonged time. Think to buy a little present to show yourself love for everything.
The reversed Six of Pentacles can imply that you are giving to others easily and they do not return your favors. You may feel as if they are taking benefit of you in this one-way street situation. While you can’t alter the other person’s reply or make them return the favor, you can refuse to help in the future.
You may have an inclination to consume or provide more than you can afford. While open-handedness is an excellent quality, you need to guarantee that you are able to help yourself while serving others.
The reversed Six of Pentacles sometimes displays the egoistic side of kindness. Be mindful that you are not attempting to show to others that you are a generous person by giving to the poor.
In a love reading, the reversed Six of Pentacles hints that one partner is taking a lot, thus creating an imbalance in the connection. You need to be cautious that your generous character is not being taken advantage of and that you are not the one making tolerances for your lover’s profit always.
