THE SIX OF PENTACLES
“The Lord of Material Success”
Moon in Taurus
DESCRIPTION AND SYMBOLISM
A successful and prosperous merchant expresses the highest and noblest character of the earth element through the charity of sharing his abundance and good fortune with two beggars who are less fortunate than him. In his hand he holds an evenly balanced scale from which he dispenses a just and equal measure of money to each supplicant kneeling before him. The sky and walkway are a neutral gray and six pentacles hang suspended in the air above them.
ASTROLOGICAL ASSOCIATION
Our emotional response to material success is expressed by the action of the Moon in Taurus for true humanity consists of emotional identification with those whose lot in this life is more difficult than our own and in the recognition that true wealth lies in the generosity of one’s spirit and not in the size of one’s fortune.

When Appearing Reversed in a Reading
Your present prosperity is threatened by your own miserliness and lack of compassion for others. You are being financially careless and your debts are piling up. It is time to face the facts underlying your present financial situation instead of spending your time hiding from them.
THE TREE OF LIFE
“The Sphere of Beauty”
In the realization of a noble and generous heart, we discover our good fortune multiplied not only in the material sense but also in the spiritual blessings that flow to us from the Source of life.
