Six of Pentacles Tarot Card Meaning

Depicting a man wearing the color of wealth, purple, the Six of Pentacles is often associated with wealth. It shows him giving money to two beggars. He has a scale on his hand, which suggests that what goes around comes around. It’s about being fair and accepting karma, as it may hit you out of nowhere.

From many points of view, this card is about cause and effect, rather than money. It has a great deal of symbolism in all the small bits in its representation. But anyway, let’s see what it could actually mean for you based on its interpretation.

Meaning of Upright Six of Pentacles

In an upright position, the Six of Pentacles shows a good connection with your money. Everything you have is in balance. Some money goes in, less money goes out, you’re always positive. There’s no stress in your life and you’re more than happy to share what you have with others.

You weren’t born in wealth, though. The card shows when you’ve actually struggled to get what you have. At this point, it might be a good idea to start giving some of it away. However, while connected to money, the card interpretation isn’t always financial. You could also give time away, as well as good vibes.

Upright Six of Pentacles in Love & Relationships

In a love reading, the Six of Pentacles shows love, harmony and kindness. Your relationship is great at the moment. You and your partner support each other and have common goals, regardless of their nature.

You may find yourself focusing a bit too much on external things, such as work or perhaps a new business venture. It’s not a bad thing, so don’t feel guilty about it. You’ll be happy to find out that your partner is supportive and up for it.

On the other hand, if you’re single, you’ll find that your generosity (or someone else’s dedication) will most likely lead to a relationship in the long run.

Upright Six of Pentacles in Career

The upright Six of Pentacles is a good sign for your career as well. Seeing this card means that someone with a higher position or authority is ready to help you out and push you from behind. In this case, reaching your career goals becomes a matter of time only.

You’ll receive both energy and time.

If this isn’t the case, the card indicates a positive working environment. Everyone’s happy with your contribution and people value your ideas and solutions.

If you’re after changing your career or perhaps your job, the card symbolizes a great amount of success. The outcome will be even better than you imagined.

Upright Six of Pentacles in Money

From a financial point of view, generosity is all around you. If you’ve always dreamed of starting a business, this could be the best moment because those around you are willing to help out with their time, money or expertise.

Money won’t come your way out of nowhere. You’ll have to work for it. You’ll need to go out there, tell people about your idea and seek support. You’re very passionate about it, so you’ll manage to inspire those around you.

However, apart from all these, the card could also indicate that you’re in the position to help others.

Upright Six of Pentacles in Health

In a health reading, the upright Six of Pentacles shows success. Your well-being is through the roof. Your health will dramatically improve. Most commonly, the card shows up after you’ve dealt with some sort of an illness. With others’ support, you’ll be back on your feet in no time.

At the same time, the card indicates great success if you’re about to do something major. Thinking about a new diet? Interested in losing some weight? Gain muscle? Gym journey? No matter what this is about, you’re likely to succeed.

For a pregnancy, that’s definitely a good sign. If you’re trying to conceive, this is a great time to do it. And if there already is a pregnancy in your relationship, there should be no complications whatsoever.

If you need to know about someone’s feelings, that person feels supportive. They also feel supported by you, so it’s a solid connection with good grounds.

Their intentions are extremely positive. No matter what you’re planning to do in the future, they’ll be there by your side to support you.

They see you as a pillar. They know they can rely on you, and they try to offer the same feeling in exchange, so you’re in good hands.

As for what you should do, offer help if you’re asked for it. And if you’re not, ask for it, as you may need it instead.

Meaning of Reversed Six of Pentacles

The upright Six of Pentacles shows some type of charitable work going either way. It could be to your benefit, or maybe you help others. In the reversed position, it tells you that charity will only be one way.

If you’ve helped someone, don’t expect any help back. If you’ve given money to someone, you may not be able to see it again. In other words, the reversed card is mostly about caution. If you’re not fully stable, helping others could become an issue for you.

The reversed Six of Pentacles may also warn you about all your debt. You do have a problem, but it can be solved if you seek help. On the other hand, if you continue with poor choices, chances are you’ll end up in bankruptcy.

Reversed Six of Pentacles in Love & Relationships

In a love and relationship reading, the reversed Six of Pentacles signifies an imbalance, which will clearly cause some issues in the long run. One person is giving a lot, while the other person is happy receiving without giving anything back.

This kind of attitude will become frustrating for the giving partner at some point. It feels like one of you is taking advantage of the other. Therefore, it’s critical to avoid being dependent and this rule doesn’t apply to you only.

If you’re single, the card warns about partners who may get you into this type of imbalance. Don’t be too generous straight away, and try not to depend on others.

Reversed Six of Pentacles in Career

For your career, the reversed Six of Pentacles is a warning. There’s someone around your workplace who seems nice to you. They feel generous as well, but that’s because they have a hidden interest in you. They’ll gain your trust, and they’ll hit you when least expected.

Generally speaking, try to avoid getting favors from others, even if they’re offered. Don’t depend on anyone. You can, however, get a bit of help, but don’t abuse it because you might be held responsible for it.

The issue may also affect you. If you’re being nice to someone just because their position benefits you, this type of behavior is more obvious than you imagine, so stay away from this temptation.

Reversed Six of Pentacles in Money

In a financial reading, don’t get your hopes up for help. If you need financial support, there won’t be too many people around willing to help you. And if you do find someone, make sure you’re careful about it because you may end up owing back too much.

If you find yourself in a good situation and you can give money away, resentment could kick in. Be careful and keep being real. Financial discomfort is normal when you see someone taking advantage of you, hence the necessity of caution.

Reversed Six of Pentacles in Health

In a health reading, the card asks you to seek help before it’s too late. You’re not in the best position. Your well-being isn’t looked after. The more you overlook it, the more problems you’ll get in the long run, so there’s no need to delay it.

There is some kind of support available, but you also have to be open about it. Ignoring it could cause disagreements with medical professionals around you. Plus, things won’t improve by themselves, so your problem will aggravate.

You’re not doing well in health, meaning a pregnancy shouldn’t be among your plans right now. If you’re trying to conceive, there’s very little chance to succeed. And if you do succeed, there might be some complications later on.

Curious about someone’s feelings? That person feels some imbalance in your connection. They feel like they give too much and you don’t. However, it could be the other way around too, so they may feel guilty.

Given the lack of balance, they intend to step out of this relationship, whether it’s a romantic or professional one. They don’t want to be involved, so they may start looking elsewhere.

You’re not seen as a balanced person, so your behavior affects the relationship, hence the plans to step out.

Seek balance. That’s the best thing you can do right now, whether it’s from your side or the other side.

Numerological Meaning of Six of Pentacles

Represented by the number 6, the Six of Pentacles also relates to harmony and a natural flow in life. Communication is essential for you.

Based on the above representations, it doesn’t mean that everything’s right in your life. Instead, it means you have a desire for balance, which you may have to work for.

With the number 6, your fate is at play. You have good fortune overall. You may have a happy home as well. And if you don’t, a little work will make all these happen. Focus on the present, as it will help you build your future later on.
