Six of Pentacles upright
A merchant gives to kneeling figures; a balance scale sits in his other hand. The Six of Pentacles is the giving - but the scale matters.
Honour the imbalance. The card rewards both giving and receiving when the relationship is honest; less when it's used to maintain status differences.
Six of Pentacles reversed
Reversed, the generosity is conditional or extractive - strings attached to gifts, or charity that maintains hierarchy.
