Personal Insights & Other Notes: The Six of Pentacles isn't just about money. It can represent the sharing of time, skills, or even emotional support. It reminds us that generosity isn't solely the domain of the wealthy; anyone can be a giver, and everyone is a receiver at some point. It encourages us to consider the impact of our actions on others and to cultivate a spirit of abundance. It also prompts us to examine our own relationship with money – are we hoarders, or are we conduits?
