Triple Goddess Tarot- 6 of Pentacles
Rider-Waite-Smith Tarot — Six of Pentacles
The Rider-Waite-Smith Six of Pentacles emphasizes the principle of success made stable through balance, exchange, and wise distribution. Its image is outwardly simple and exoteric: a prosperous merchant stands with scales in one hand while offering coins to grateful supplicants with the other. At first glance, the card appears to be only about charity, money, and fairness. Yet even in this plain scene, a deeper law is quietly at work. Wealth is not shown here as hoarding, but as circulation. Prosperity is not merely possession—it is the balanced flow of resources.
The merchant’s scales symbolize more than commerce. In the Western Hermetic sense, they suggest adjustment, measure, and the law that true abundance must remain in motion. To withhold everything is to stagnate power. To share wisely is to keep power alive. Thus, this card reveals that material success is maintained not only by acquiring, but by distributing in due proportion. Giving and receiving are shown as two sides of one current.
Above the figures are six pentacles arranged like stars, reminding us that the Sixes in Tarot are numbers of accomplishment and realized harmony. In divination, they often indicate that a matter is carried through successfully, that effort has reached a point of visible result. But in Western Hermetic Qabalah, the number 6 carries far greater significance. It is the number of Tiphareth, the Sixth Sephira on the Tree of Life, the sphere of Beauty, the Solar center, the radiant harmony through which the higher and lower worlds are brought into balance.
Tiphareth is the sphere of the Soul, the place where the personality may begin to align with the Higher Self (supernal triangle). It is the center through which all paths seem to gather and from which meaning radiates. For this reason, the Sixes are not merely numbers of success in the worldly sense; they are the numbers of success through alignment. They suggest that achievement becomes enduring only when it reflects an inner order. In this way, the Six of Pentacles is not just about money changing hands. It is about the Soul learning how to govern matter with beauty, proportion, and consciousness.
There is also a mystery hidden in the number 6 itself. It is the number associated with the solar savior archetype—the Christ principle, the Buddha consciousness, the Dying God who is sacrificed, transformed, and reborn. In Hermetic understanding, this implies that every true success comes at a price. One does not rise without surrendering something lower. To accomplish anything of lasting value, some aspect of the old self must be reorganized, refined, or released. Thus, even in business, success requires sacrifice: the sacrifice of confusion for order, waste for discipline, and immaturity for responsibility.
Even nature reflects this mystery. Carbon, the basis of organic life, possesses six electrons. Thus, the number 6 quietly hints at the structure of manifested life itself. It is a number of form made viable, of intelligence embodied, of success built on a stable pattern. The Sixes therefore carry a signature of coherent creation. They represent the point where force becomes fruitful and where idea becomes sustainable reality.
Astrologically, the Six of Pentacles is attributed to the Moon in Taurus. This attribution deepens the card’s meaning considerably. The Moon governs emotion, intuition, subconscious patterning, and psychic receptivity. Taurus, ruled by Venus, grounds these lunar powers into stability, sensuality, endurance, and material security. Here, feeling seeks form. Emotion seeks peace. The inner life seeks something dependable to rest within.
Moon in Taurus suggests emotional steadiness, the desire for security, and a deeply rooted need for continuity. These individuals often find comfort through stable relationships, physical ease, beauty, food, touch, and dependable surroundings. There is an instinct here to preserve what nourishes life. Emotion is not wild or erratic in Taurus; it seeks substance, rhythm, and grounding.
In parapsychological terms, this placement may indicate a subconscious field that responds strongly to atmosphere, beauty, and material harmony. Such people often absorb emotional reality through the senses and may generate psychic resilience through routine, order, and bodily calm.
This same placement can also produce attachment to possessions, resistance to change, and difficulty releasing familiar emotional patterns. The safety of the known may become a subtle prison. Yet this too reflects the deeper lesson of the Six of Pentacles: that stability must remain alive through flow. Security is sacred, but not when it hardens into fear. Prosperity is a current, not a cage.
So the Rider-Waite-Smith Six of Pentacles, though outwardly plain, carries an understated Hermetic truth. It teaches that success is not merely having—it is balancing. It is not merely receiving—it is circulating. It is not merely outward wealth—it is the alignment of the material life with the Solar law of Tiphareth. When giving and receiving are brought into harmony, the Soul shines through matter, and prosperity becomes more than financial. It becomes beautiful.
The Triple Goddess Tarot — 6 of Pentacles
The Triple Goddess Tarot 6 of Pentacles presents a warm and human image of generosity in action. A mother is shown handing pentacles to her three children. Three large golden pentacles are already with the children, while two more rest in the mother’s arms, and another rises from a burlap bag upon the windowsill. Above her, a brass scale quietly reminds us that all giving must be balanced, measured, and life-supporting. This is not reckless charity, nor is it cold accounting. It is the wisdom of distribution. It is the understanding that prosperity grows when resources are shared in a way that nourishes the whole family, group, or community.
On the mundane level, this card speaks of reciprocity, generosity, practical help, shared success, and cooperative stability. It may indicate family support, the giving or receiving of assistance, or a time when resources are distributed fairly so that everyone benefits. This is the card of mutual aid and relational prosperity. It suggests that success is not always a solitary achievement. Often, what we call growth is really the result of supportive exchanges, shared effort, and a willingness to care for more than oneself.
In a Western Hermetic Qabalistic sense, the number 6 is the number of Tiphareth, the Sixth Sephira on the Tree of Life, the sphere of Beauty, harmony, balance, and the Solar Soul. Tiphareth is the center where higher will and lower personality may be brought into alignment. Therefore, the 6 of Pentacles is not merely about giving coins. It is about the Soul governing material life through proportion, grace, and conscious order. The brass scale in the image is especially meaningful here, for Tiphareth is the Sephira of equilibrium—the point where power is not hoarded but rightly distributed.
This makes the card more than a sign of material success. It becomes a symbol of Solar consciousness expressing itself through kindness, fairness, and intelligent stewardship. The mother figure reflects a nurturing aspect of this harmony. She is not only a giver of objects, but a keeper of balance. She understands that abundance must circulate to remain alive. In Hermetic thought, stagnant force decays, but living force flows. Thus, this card teaches that true prosperity is not possession alone, but the capacity to keep the current moving.
Metaphysically, the image suggests that wealth is a form of condensed energy. Pentacles are not only coins; they are symbols of manifested power. To give is therefore to direct force. To receive is to become a vessel for that force. When exchange happens in balance, the field of life expands. Growth occurs because energy has been allowed to move where it is needed. The mother and children represent an ecosystem of nourishment, where abundance is not cut off from relationship. This card quietly proclaims that the universe is healthiest when life supports life.
From a parapsychological perspective, the 6 of Pentacles can be understood as a card of psychic reciprocity. Human beings are not isolated units; we are constantly exchanging emotional, mental, and subtle energies. Generosity affects the psychic atmosphere. Fairness calms the field. Shared support creates trust, and trust stabilizes the emotional current between people. In this sense, the mother is not only handing out material goods—she is transmitting emotional security and psychic reassurance. The children do not merely receive coins; they receive confirmation that there is enough, that support exists, and that they belong within a sustaining order.
This is important, because scarcity is not only financial. It can also be psychological and astral. A person may have money and still live in an inner state of lack. Another may have modest means and yet live in an atmosphere of trust and cooperative strength. The Triple Goddess 6 of Pentacles suggests that abundance becomes real when it is shared in a way that creates balance in the emotional and psychic field. This is the deeper success of the card: not merely having enough but creating an environment in which all may grow.
Compared to the Rider-Waite-Smith 6 of Pentacles, the Triple Goddess version feels more intimate, maternal, and relational. The Rider-Waite image emphasizes a public exchange between a wealthy merchant and supplicants, showing generosity through hierarchy, transaction, and measured distribution.
The Triple Goddess Tarot softens this dynamic and brings it into the home, where giving is not formal but nurturing. Both cards teach balance, charity, and success through right exchange, but the Rider-Waite-Smith card presents generosity as social and economic order, while the Triple Goddess Tarot presents it as familial care, shared growth, and the sacred responsibility to nourish one’s own circle.
When the 6 of Pentacles is thrown in a divination, it implies:
- Presents.
- Gifts.
- Gratification.
- Attention.
- Vigilance.
- Now is the accepted time.
- Working together to enhance results.
If reversed, it implies:
- Envy.
- Desire.
- Cupidity.
- Jealousy.
- Illusion.
