Six of Pentacles

Scales in one hand, a wealthy figure drops coins into the hands of two people kneeling. Waite gives presents, gifts and gratification, and another account says attention and vigilance: now is the accepted time.

Notice which position you hold today. Helping a friend with rent or mentoring a junior colleague can do real good when you pay attention to what they need. When you are receiving, accept it and thank them, and keep track of any terms attached.

Giving gets tangled with wanting here. Waite lists desire, cupidity, envy, jealousy and illusion, so a favor may come with hooks, or you may be measuring your share against someone else's.

Ask what a gift is buying, whether you gave it or received it. Say no to help that leaves you in debt to someone's moods. Envy of a coworker's pay can still tell you what you want, so raise it with your manager.
