Six of Pentacles




     The Six of Pentacles is one of the cards of the Minor Arcana. Depicted on this card is A man of considerable wealth doling out portions of it to the poor. He has a scale in his left hand and six pentacles surround the picture. When this card comes into the spread I normally see this as a card of giving with an ulterior motive. This is a card of vanity, pride, ego, and appearances. If this card comes into your spread ask yourself are you giving for the sake of giving or do you have an expectation of recieving something in return? Or ask yourself am I trying appear to be more than what I actually am?

     There is a myriad of symbolisms on this and many of the other cards in both the major and minor arcana. In order to present a comprehensive and easy to use as a reference source set of pages for this and other cards, I will refrain from going into great detail regarding the individual symbols on the cards. On a future date I will go over the more explicit aspects of them. If you have a question regarding a particular symbol you can email me at Tamerin.
