The Six Of Pentacles

This card depicts a fox in fine looking garb holding a set of scales in his left hand. Two robed foxes are holding out their hands at his feet. He is giving coins to the one on the right of the image, but not the one on the left. Above are the six pentacles... Three along the top of the card... two more under the left side of the card and one more under the right. This gives a slight impression of imbalance.

This can imply the division between those with resources and those without. Remember, there are many kinds of resources; money, time, power, information, imagination, ability. This card may represent the fact that maybe your resources are limited: you can't do everything, and you can't help everyone, you can't have your cake and eat it. Sometimes you need to make hard choices. Sometimes you don't get something and someone else does. It's not fair, but sometimes there is just not enough for everyone.

In my experience I have found that the two most common themes that clients identify with are...1.) You need to make sure that with your giving ....you do not come across as better than or more important than those you are helping... and... 2.) It is a good idea that you keep an eye on your resources and not over extend yourself and in turn be the one needing help.

The Fine Art Of Juggling...

I did a reading that included this card today and thought it would be fun to investigate it's varied but connected meanings.


The Two of Pentacles indicates that one might experience progressive change now. there is the ability to cope with two or more situations, having learned to juggle them both but much more will be achieved once a decision is made. Think before you act... reflect on things... take a good look at your situation. Be patient time and reflection will reveal how you are doing and what your next move will be. It is essential that you maintain harmony. Do not allow this change or these disturbing influences upset you, let yourself play be flexible and venturesome it will provide scope for your intuition. Put on that happy face that the little fox exhibits.

Emotional tranquility brings clarity. Sometimes it is difficult see to the bottom of things if the surface is all stirred up. Step back from it all even if only for a moment. Expect to receive acknowledgment and reassuring news. Stop believing that spiritual development occurs only in serious moments .... pleasure and amusement can teach you a great deal, as long as you are willing to pay attention.

What two or more situations are you handling with ease... What are you adapting to.... What do you want to change in your home, profession, status, finances? What are you juggling in order to keep stable... money, finances, lifestyle? In what ways can you maybe play and use your adaptability in stressful situations?
