3 Card Tarot Reading

The Six Of Pentacles Tarot Meaning

Following with the story line of the pentacles you will find that there are ups and downs regarding stability, money, and work.

The Five of Pentacles was a card of destitution and recognizes the need to ask for help in order for one to get back on their feet. The Six of Pentacles is now that realization of charity and good works. It is a representation of either you receiving charity that is much needed to get you to where you need either financially or in regards to a living situation. Base needs are now being met and positive changes are happening.

It can also be a representation that you have learned how to manage your own finances and that you are now competent at meeting your base needs such as food, shelter, and housing and that you are in a position to help or teach others. Depending on where you are in your path – being the helper or the one that needs help – it is important to realize both sides of the charitable coin.

Help to others and receiving help is often part of the human experience. When we have enough we give to those around us and in turn it can be humbling to have to accept help. If you are in a position of needing help be appreciative of the help you receive and remember that you needed to rely on others. Do not take it for granted however and realize that the help offered at this time is a hand up rather than a hand out. Squandering this help will cause you to go back on your path rather than forward. If you happen to be in a position where you can help others, the card can also be a reminder not to overextend your helpfulness. You will be no help to anyone if you continue to offer help and not focus on also taking care of your own needs. Be generous within reason but do not be so generous that you cause yourself a loss.

The Six of Pentacles in Love 

In love the Six of Pentacles can be a generous card showing that there is much to be gained by interacting in a relationship at this time. Sometimes it will come up when there is enough of a foundation to move on to the next step of a relationship but with this it focuses more on monetary or material aspects of the relationship rather than emotional ones. The card will come up usually when relating to growing in areas of housing like moving in together or joining financial resources to make a couple stronger.

When seeking love the Six of Pentacles tells you to be generous with your offerings right now and it is a good time to put yourself out there. Focus on areas of charity or giving in order to meet others that have the same mindset and goals. Likely a relationship can be found in your local soup kitchen or charitable function. Your goal should not be helping in order to find love. Rather focus on giving your time or resources in ways that you can so that you get more involved. Love is a likely side effect but it could also be friendship and other relationships as well.

The Six of Pentacles in Health

The Six of Pentacles is a good card regarding health in that it can indicate improved health overall, but especially a period of illness. If you have been dealing with a nagging illness or pain the Six of Pentacles shows increased circulation and vitality that will cause an upswing of healing regarding wellness on its own. For more serious health issues this is a good time to seek assistance to ensure healing. Options for getting better are available to you if you seek them out.

The Six of Pentacles in Work and Wealth

The Three-Fold Law says that what you put out will come back to you threefold. The Six of Pentacles is much like this law, stating that what you have been putting out to the world is coming back to you. Usually, it’s a good card indicating a windfall of sorts that comes from good works. It can indicate a bonus for work done or a raise even. Don’t think of inheritances, games of chance, or the lottery. No, the Six of Pentacles is in relation to getting what you give. If you have been on a good path in work or finances with your intentions… that is working hard and trying to seek success then you are likely to see the fruition of your efforts and be rewarded handsomely. You may even be coming out of a hard time financially and need a little extra help. In this case, someone around you may give you money because they can see that you are trying but just need a little help.

The Six of Pentacles is an exceptional card regarding work and looking for new opportunities. Whether you are seeking a job due to unemployment or a need for advancement it is an excellent time to spend energy on finding what you need. You will create your own opportunities simply by making your desires known the universe. Of course, you have to act too. You won’t find what you are hoping for if you don’t look. Remember to be reworking your resume with all of your current information and to be sending it out there! Don’t expect new opportunities to fall into your lap, you have to ask for them and do your part to ensure they come to you. The 6 of pentacles can indicate that harmony is soon to be yours, it may imply you are expert at what you do and wish to help or give others something important. Six in tarot represents balance. This card can mean giving money to others through work. There is a lesson imprinted here. Learn to give and receive in a work context. In terms of business, it can indicate success and that you will employ more people. 

Reversed Meaning - Six of Pentacles

Often the spiritual nature of the Six of Pentacles is missed in the upright position because there is a lot of focus on the monetary or material gain being experienced. However in the reversed position, there is a huge emphasis on spirituality or emotional health. In the reversed position the Six of Pentacles calls for a change in your view and often can indicate depression which is worsening or feelings of hopelessness like there is nowhere to turn. Avoid penning up your emotions or basing them on your current lot in life. Now is a time where good works will be rewarded but you have to get off your butt and seek them out. Sitting around and moping about your situation is not going to improve anything. Even if you feel that your situation is the cause of your problems or that everything has gotten so out of control that you are buried beneath your problems, there is hope and help for you. You have to be the one to shake off the dirt, so to speak, and reach out for a helping hand. Help and support is around you but you have to be willing to accept it and avoid being too stubborn to ask for it.

Consider where you would like to find joy, and what good there is in existence already as well as what you want in the future.

You could possibly choose to start over with someone else.

The Ten of Cups reversed unbalances the harmonious meaning attached to this card when upright, unfortunately, that doesn’t bode well for a love and romance reading. It infers a difficult period within a relationship or a dearth of commitment. Now is the time to take stock in your relationship and decide if this is really what you both want; be honest with yourself, remember that comfort and familiarity are not strong enough reasons to stick together. In some instances, this card points to issues not relating directly to relationships itself, for example, this could be a reference to difficulty conceiving or disagreements over having children.

Even when bitterness is buried under your interactions, the love you have for each other goes even deeper still. Relieve yourself from this period of tension by learning to compromise. Especially in domestic situations, it can become easy to get wrapped up in stubbornness or digging your heels in. Lead by example and the rest of the family is sure to lessen their grip on conflict and head towards resolution instead.

Ten of Cups Reversed - Work and Finances

When doing a work and finance spread, the presence of the Ten of Cups reversed suggests something is off balance in your career. You, or someone you work with, isn’t behaving like a team player. There may be outward arguments and conflict or the resentment may be simmering below the surface. Either way, you need to find a way to either salve or leave the situation. If you can restore balance in your work scenario that’s great, but if you can’t then you should remove yourself from it. In a financial context, this card when reversed is an indication of reckless spending or unstable income.

The Four Of Swords Tarot Card Meaning

When the Four of Swords appears in your reading your ability to negotiate circumstances that are not to your liking is magnified tenfold.

You are a flexible person; you wish to have a commitment in you life that stays in balance, which is not fluid. Now is the time for you to balance your emotional self, your spiritual self and your physical desires so that they do not control you. When life is swinging out of control it makes you feel as though it is impossible to settle, you become like a feather in the wind, flying from one experience to the next, never truly gaining satisfaction. Hence the Four of Swords is advising you now to pull all of the extroverted tendencies inward.

The image of the Four of Swords in the deck shows the quietness of a church with a stained glass window being the only opportunity to see the light from outside. In this you know that the world exists, but in your own unique experience the Church allows peace of mind and creativity that can only be found from reflection. A knight lies in effigy upon his tomb. His hands are folded together in a prayer. This is symbolic of a time of peace after war, the necessity to contemplate one’s future moves. The Hermit, a card of complete and utter introspection and wisdom gathering is influenced by this card. This is the pose that the Hermit takes before he makes the decision to go up to the mountain. Everyone needs to get away sometimes. This is your time. There is no hurry, you must renew your mental energies and right your thoughts.

You must be willing as well as able to face the problems that have presented themselves to you. You cannot ignore them, for that is extremely unhealthy. You know that you are capable of establishing your own sense of harmony so you just need to recuperate. While taking this time in the Metaphorical church, remember that this is only a temporary phase in your life. You must not allow this repose to be your forever constant position, for that would be counterproductive. Use this time to the best of your ability and let it be something that guides you and brings you inevitable fulfillment in a real way. Compose yourself and meditate, regrow your sense of balance. This card is a symbol for you of centering your thoughts on a solid mental foundation. You will get through this and when you do you will have a stronger sense of identity than ever before. You will be able to use your planning, rational mind to your benefit and achieve a great many things.

The Four of Swords in Love

If you are currently experiencing a level of single hood, the Four of Swords in Love is telling you that you must be introspective about what it is that you truly hope to get out of the pursuit of love. In this you have been so extroverted that you are not connecting to anyone of lasting value, therefore you are going through a phase of feeling empty and frustrated to the extreme. All that you must do to remedy this situation is to spend some time with yourself for a while so that you can determine what the best next step is going to be for you. You need to establish what about you need to change to attract someone that will be with you for the long term.

Within a relationship, the Four of Swords also encourages the same level of introspection except in this sense; you and your partner have lost a sense of who you are separate of your relationship. Now you must take the time to both ponder who you are outside of the relationship so that you can healthily bring something positive to the table. This is the best way to work through relationship troubles. If the relationship is not strong enough to handle the time that you both need to be alone then that speaks volumes of the condition of your relationship. Seek counseling if it is hard to speak to one another about your problems.

The Four of Swords in Health

There will be a time of introspection and dormancy in your life when the Four of Swords appears in your reading about health. Meaning that your physical body has been through a lot and you need to actually lay flat without moving for a while to allow for it to heal and re-energize.

The Four of Swords in Work and Wealth

The Four of Swords in your Work and Wealth life shows that there is a detachment from what it is that you want in your work life, your finances have been in an upheaval for so long you do not even feel like it is possible to ever feel better about it. However this card is one of repose, so you must allow yourself some downtime to process your emotions so that you can make informed decisions about where your investments should go. Trust your inner voice. In work the four of swords indicates you are burned out. It is time to rest. This rest will help in the long-term.

Four of Swords in business

In business, this is quite an interesting card, it can indicate that we need refresh ourselves. The four of swords may imply that in your job you will earn money without the stress, so you can take time out and relax. This indicates that you do need to take a break. At times, this card can indicate taking on too much work and you need to take some time out and prioritize your work. Maybe hire someone who can help as you are simply taking on too much. 

Reversed Meaning Of The Four Of Swords

At this point in your life, if you have received the Four of Swords in the reversed position then you have allowed your lifetime responsibilities to become too much for you to bear. Now is the time for you pursue advice from your higher self, or connect to your highest vision of a universal god form so that you can get back to your peaceful solitude. You will be able to get back to yourself again, and there are a good many opportunities ahead of you. Though you may experience opposing energies or find that it is too hard to get moving, you just need to recognize where you are at and allow yourself to pursue peace.
