Six of Pentacles

Six of Pentacles description

The Six of Pentacles is about the giving and receiving of energy, which manifests in reality in the form of money, acts of service, food, health, etc. This card depicts a rich man giving money to two poor people. The beggars are the impoverishment of the soul, what happens when there is no connection to the divine. The rich man holds a scale, a symbol of authority and justice. He’s weighing out the money carefully. If he gives all of his energy away, he’ll be on the wrong side of this scene. The castle in the background is his sense of security and the trees represent our dominion over nature.
