Six of Pentacles

Suit of Pentacles · earth

This card weighs the flow of resources between those who have and those who need, measured on the scales of fairness. It can be open-handed generosity or a reminder that giving and receiving carry an inherent question of power. Reflect on which role you occupy, and whether the exchange around you is truly balanced or quietly conditional.
