The "Sixes" in the Tarot Deck reflect the fact that six is located at the centre of the Kabbalist Tree of Life - which implies harmony and communication.

Some writers describe the Six of Pentacles in terms of "material success" (the Rider-Waite and Robin Wood Decks both depict a well-dressed person, possibly a merchant giving coins to othes). However, this card often also includes images of those receiving the money - who appear not to be materially successful. One way to interpret this card is in terms of an exchange of energy - assuming that the giver also receives something (possibly something intangible) by giving away the coins.

This card includes connotations of both generosity and inequality.

Keywords summarising the possible meanings of this card include:

• Desire to help or repay another
• Financial help / gift
• Help from a powerful person
• Return of a Favour
• Stability.

Remember that all of the Pentacles cards in the Tarot Deck have some energies in common. These include, for example, the overall association of the suit of Pentacles with the element of earth and material concerns. For further information, read about the Suit of Pentacles in general.

Some texts include meanings for "reversed cards", which apply when the cards are shuffled in both order and orientation. This doubles the number of possible "cards" in the deck from 78 to 156. (In terms of the probabilities of obtaining results by chance alone, it is not a simple doubling as once a card has been drawn it cannot be selected again in the opposite orientation in the same reading.)
