The Six of Pentacles card from the Rider-Waite-Smith tarot

On the card

A merchant holds scales in one hand and drops coins into the hands of two kneeling figures with the other.

Upright

  • Giving
  • Receiving
  • Fairness

Traditionally generosity, with the scales as a reminder that it is measured. It invites you to look at which side of the exchange you are on and whether that has been true for a while.

Reversed

  • Strings attached
  • Imbalance
  • Debt

Read reversed, the exchange goes wrong: a gift with conditions, or a balance that has quietly become a debt.

About this deck

The artwork is the Rider-Waite-Smith tarot, drawn by Pamela Colman Smith to Arthur Edward Waite's direction and first published in 1909. It has passed into the public domain, which is why it can be shown here in full — but it is her work, and the reason this deck became the one nearly every other deck answers to.
