Career Meaning - Reversed 6 of Pentacles
Beware of people in your workplace that can seem helpful and generous, but may have hidden agendas. Someone may abuse their position of power, or offer you help. But these create the circ*mstances for feeling that you 'owe' them later on. They may ask you to do something at the cost of your honor. If you’re someone with power, remember to give your help without asking anything in return; you must have memories of what it was like when you were younger. If you’re someone that is receiving help, be sure not to abuse that help. Are you sucking up to someone whose position or status can aid you? This may be more obvious to others than you think. Avoid that temptation and remain honest with yourself and others.
Finances Meaning - Reversed 6 of Pentacles
If you’ve been looking for financial help, it may look bleak right now. It doesn’t seem like there are others that can offer you what you need. If you do find someone willing to help you, be cautious. Check that your loan terms are fair, or that gifts don’t come with strings attached. Otherwise, you may find yourself in bigger trouble than you are now. If you’re someone who is in the position to give, avoid feelings of resentment, or taking advantage of your financial comfort. Alternatively, you may be the one being taken advantage of; ensure that your financial assistance goes to who you want it to go to by giving it directly. Beware of scams that prey on kind hearts.
