I. Six of Pentacles Rider Waite image description
The Six of Pentacles depicts a man in purple robes which symbolizes wealth and fame. He holds a scale in one hand, representing fairness and equality. His other hand is giving money to two beggars who are kneeling at his feet. The card not only reflects the stability of material aspects but also shows that you are using your wealth to help others.
The Six of Pentacles card is quite difficult to interpret because it is in in the middle area between the dark/negative aspect of the lack of the Five of Pentacles and the prosperity of the Ten of Pentacles (these two cards are two states of “yes” and “no”).
This card depicts a man holding a balance of justice as if to judge who would be worthy of receiving the favor and who did not. The picture on this card describes both cases: giving and receiving, dominating and submission, standing on top and standing at the bottom, who has and who does not. Life is not simple and fortunes can change very quickly.
The keywords of this card include both the presence and absence of each meaning form. Sometimes, it is a clear sign of one of the two aspects. You will get what you want. You will have to accept the opinion of another person. However, in any case, you need to be suspicious and find out more thoroughly about what you see in appearance.

Introduce
The Six of Pentacles reversed is a warning that you may be losing your focus on potential resources that are available. You should not think that you have the ability to do everything. Let’s get support from the outside instead of being too stubborn or arrogant.
Overview
This card in reverse shows that you do not recognize the generosity that is available to you as well as your ability to give away to others. You should be aware that rejecting help/support is like “knocking your head against the wall”. Such a greathearted person not just only gives away the value in terms of money.
Work
When the Six of Pentacles appears in reverse, you should be generous in your workplace, in terms of time, interest, and information. That will make your work more favorable for both you and the colleagues involved. It is a misconception that you only think and do things for yourself without caring about others at work. Things may not be as bad and tiresome as you think, be more open and friendly to people.
Love
If you are looking for love, you need to be more open. You will shut down the door to meet the potential partner if you are too extremely independent. If your committed relationship does not seem to be going well, try to give more instead of just expecting to receive.
Finance
The Six of Pentacles reversed may imply that your financial situation may improve, but not in the way that you expect. You should analyze everything and consider possible methods to help you make more money, such as trading a certain sub-sector or cutting back on spending. Ask for help if you need it.
Health
You should be more open and positive to improve your health. In many cases, you need to be aware that “treating” and “healing” are not necessarily synonymous concepts. Let’s feel the healing/purifying energy around you.
Mentality
With the Six of Pentacles reversed, humility is an important requirement. No matter how much you learn and develop spiritually, there are always new things that you need to discover. No human can master all spiritual knowledge. You should allow yourself to be humble and accept failure to learn more.
Situation and advice
This reversed card often shows that you lose money or property due to carelessness, dishonesty or recklessness. Someone may refuse to pay the debt, leading you to financial depletion. Financial support may be exhausted. You may not get what you deserve. This card sometimes refers to theft in reality. The financial administrator may be involved in unethical or deceptive transactions. Material risks can be the result of the selfish actions of others.
This card can also warn the querent that they are lacking in philanthropy and generosity. If you are involved in a financial transaction, beware of the non-transparency and fraud in the agreements.
Human
A slave, a debtor, a beggar, a thief, lazy people, useless people, a skinflint, criminals of money laundering, an unjust financial manager, people who depend on others for their basic needs, who only spend money for themselves.
In a Tarot spread, the Six of Pentacles is a request that you need to think deeply and comprehensively about the problem that exists in terms of both the material (tangible property) and non-material aspects (knowledge, power, love). You can find for yourself tend to favor a certain aspect but the card requires you to reconsider.
