Okay, so today I decided to do a little experiment with the 6 of Pentacles card, focusing on its “future” implications. I’ve been feeling a bit stuck lately, like I’m giving a lot but not really seeing the returns I’d hoped for. So, I figured, why not see what the cards have to say about what’s coming up?
My 6 of Pentacles Experiment
First, I grabbed my favorite deck – the one I always use when I’m feeling a bit lost. I shuffled the cards, really taking my time to focus on the question: “What’s the future outlook regarding my current efforts and generosity?” I’m not talking just about money, but also my time, energy, and support for others.
Then, I spread the cards out face down. I hovered my hand over them, just trying to feel for any kind of pull or energy shift. I know, sounds a bit woo-woo, but it’s how I roll. Finally, I flipped over the card that felt “right.” And guess what? It was the 6 of Pentacles.
So, with the 6 of Pentacles staring me in the face, I spent time thinking,and I pulled out my journal and started writing down my thoughts.
- What I’m giving out to the world.
- What I feel like I’m receiving (or not receiving) in return.
- What kind of balance I’m hoping to achieve in the future.
I get all these stuff down, I started free-writing about what the 6 of Pentacles could mean for my future. I thought about themes like:
- Potential for increased abundance, but maybe with some strings attached.
- The importance of being mindful about who I’m giving to, and why.
- The need to also be open to receiving help and support from others.
- Avoiding to become someone looks like a beggar.
After that, I decided to take some action.
- First, I identified one area where I feel like I’m overextending myself. It’s tough, because I genuinely want to help, but I realize it’s draining my own resources. I’m going to try to gently scale back my involvement there.

Second, I made a list of people who have offered me support in the past. I haven’t always been great at accepting help, so I’m going to make a conscious effort to reach out and say “yes” more often.
It might lead to a more balanced flow of giving and receiving in my life. I’m not expecting overnight miracles, but I do feel like I have a clearer sense of direction now. I’ll check back in with this in a few weeks and see how things are progressing!
