Six of Pentacles Tarot Card Meaning
What Six of Pentacles means upright and reversed, with readings for love, money and career.
The picture and its symbols
Six of Pentacles shows a merchant with scales handing coins to people kneeling before him. It belongs to the suit of Pentacles, the element of earth (money, work, the body and practical matters), and its rank carries the theme of harmony and recovery (Six). Giver and receiver are drawn together. A reader looks at which side you are on now, and whether the exchange is fair.
