Pentakels · VI
Zes van Pentakels
Resource in motion. Giving, receiving, a fair wage, a gift with a scale in it. Recovery in earth is circulation — and the scale asks whether the giving is dignity or theater.
- ELEMENT
- aarde
- GETAL
- Six — recovery: a merchant weighing alms, gold as a just flow.
- TEKENS
- a standing figure with a scale, coins dropping into an outstretched hand · a second figure kneeling or standing in need, the exchange visible · a pair of scales, justice come down into the marketplace · a city street, charity as a public grammar, for better and worse
RECHTOP
- +help that actually arrives
- +balanced exchange
- +using surplus as a bridge, not as a pedestal
- −charity as dominance
- −debt disguised as a gift
- −shame in the receiving hand
- IN DE LIEFDE
- Uneven means. Talk about money and care. Do not buy the bond, and do not refuse a hand because pride is loud.
- IN HET WERK
- Payroll, grants, sliding scale, a raise. Make the scale honest. If you receive, receive cleanly.
- IN HET ZELF
- You will be on both sides of this card in a life. Neither side is a soul. Circulation is.
OMGEKEERD
The scale is off — strings on the gift, a blocked flow, or generosity used to keep someone kneeling.
- Geblokkeerd — de rechtopstaande stroom bestaat en is gestuwd.
- Schaduw — het ongebruikte gezicht van de kaart.
- Overmaat — de stroom is overdreven.
Blocked Six of Pentacles stops the flow. Shadow Six buys power. Excess Six gives until the giver is the one in snow.

WAT WE OVER DEZE PLAAT NIET ZULLEN ZEGGEN
- what goes around comes around, so give
- you should be more generous, you're selfish
- take the money, don't ask questions
