The Six of Pentacles as How Someone Sees You: Generous, or in Need

Written by Chaya the Medium.

The Six of Pentacles as how someone sees you means they see the scales and the coins. Here is what the picture includes, upright and reversed.

If you want the short answer, the Six of Pentacles as how someone sees you means they see you in terms of giving: either as generous and kind to them, or as someone they want to look after. It is a warm picture with a question about balance in it.

This is you as either the figure with the scales or the one kneeling. They see an exchange. Which side you are on is the question.

The Six of Pentacles upright as how someone sees you

Tina Gong's the Six of Pentacles guide at Labyrinthos associates the upright card with generosity, charity, giving and receiving and balance. When the card lands in a position that asks how someone sees you, I read those meanings as the image the person holds of you, which is not the same as who you are and not the same as what they feel. the Six of Pentacles as feelings covers what they feel; the Six of Pentacles as intentions covers what they plan. This page covers the picture. The general card meanings at Biddy Tarot are a useful second reference.

Upright, I read the Six of Pentacles as a person who sees you as giving and fair, or as someone they want to help.

What I would not read into it is equality. The picture has a height difference built in.

What the card does not tell you

The card does not confirm whether the person sees you as a partner or a recipient. No card lets a reader see inside another person's head. What a card can do is describe the kind of image that fits the person's behaviour toward you, and give you something to check against how they actually treat you.

The Six of Pentacles reversed as how someone sees you

Reversed, the Six of Pentacles as how someone sees you means they see the giving as having strings, or feel in your debt.

In your own question, ask whether either of you is keeping score. A reversed card here is a prompt to notice whether the picture the person holds has gone sour or gone wrong, not a verdict on you.

The Six of Pentacles as how an ex sees you

Asked how an ex sees you, the Six of Pentacles suggests they remember your generosity, or their own, and feel the imbalance. My guide to asking a psychic whether an ex will come back explains what a reading can and cannot say about that question.

The Six of Pentacles as how a new person sees you

For someone new, this card means they see you through kindness given or received. Watch whether it flows both ways.

How to check the picture against reality

Look at whether the person lets you give back, or only gives.

What to record before drawing again

Keep three short notes: the question you asked, who gives more, and whether that feels right.

For comparison, the Five of Pentacles as how someone sees you and the Queen of Pentacles as how someone sees you describe different pictures. The the Six of Pentacles card meaning page covers the card in full, and the Six of Pentacles as a yes or no and the Six of Pentacles as timing cover the other questions people most often ask of it. For a personal interpretation, my guide to a love psychic reading online explains how I work, and the three-card tarot listing and customer reviews are worth reading before deciding whether to order.
