6 of Pentacles (Reversed) – The Inequity of One-Sided Charity

The Reading

Today’s theme revolves around the imbalance and inequity of one-sided charity, encapsulated by the reversed 6 of Pentacles card. It’s a topic I often find myself wrestling with, and I’m sure many of you can relate. We, empathetic souls with hearts of service, often struggle to avoid the pitfall of unbalanced giving.

It’s all too easy to fall into a pattern where others come to expect our continuous generosity without offering anything in return, whether they’re aware of it or not. As a result, this dynamic creates an inequity that can shift the power dynamics in our relationships. The power lies in these unspoken expectations.

So, as you navigate your day, I challenge you to take a moment to reflect on your relationships. Are you inadvertently setting up an unbalanced dynamic where someone expects you to give without receiving anything in return? I’m not referring to a simple thank you or words of appreciation, but rather consistent actions that help to rectify the imbalance and inequity of one-sided charity.

Our relationships are delicate and can be fickle if we don’t nurture them properly. Let’s make an effort to give them the care and attention they truly deserve.

With warm regards, Maggie
