Six of Pentacles tarot card meaning

Six of Pentacles: what the card shows

A well-dressed merchant stands in the center holding a pair of scales in one hand while dropping coins into the palm of a kneeling beggar with the other. A second beggar waits nearby, and six pentacles hover above. The scales ask whether giving is fair, and the scene reminds you that generosity and need can change places over time.

Six of Pentacles in love and relationships
