The Six of Pentacles embodies all it means to be giving. Being charitable is seen by most as a part of good character. Consider Robin Hood. Because he gave to the poor, he was considered rich in spirit regardless of other character flaws.

It isn’t just the down-and-out who benefit from charity, though. Aristotle summarized it this way: “The unfortunate need people who will be kind to them; the prosperous need people to be kind to.”

The Six of Pentacles uses the influence of the Tarot to spread this knowledge to all and encourage a giving spirit and helpful nature.

But is there such a thing as being too kind? This card also cautions about the danger of not setting boundaries and giving if it is to one’s own detriment.
