LEARN TO DO YOUR OWN TAROT READINGSThe Six of Pentacles in The Minor Arcana
There are three figures shown on The Six of Pentacles. The main central figure is an obviously wealthy man. His robe is rich and warm-looking, his boots and headdress elegant. His dress is that of a merchant. In his left hand he holds a small pair of scales very similar to those held by Justice.
Two beggars (or very poor people) crouch at the rich man's feet. The rich man drops golden coins into the waiting hands of the beggar to the left of the picture. In the background there are trees and a castle or church.
The six of Pentacles is about wealth and how, if used wisely, it can bring relief and aid. The querent needs to know whether he or she is represented by the wealthy merchant carefully distributing arms (should he give more?) or whether he or she is one of the beggars. The gracious doling out or the grovelling acceptance can be of money or emotions.
The questioner should look at his or her life and try to decide where they stand in the hierarchy.
Summary: Rich man, poor man, beggar man, thief.
