What the card shows

The Six of Coins shows two rows of three pieces facing each other, joined by a lattice running across the whole width. The eye moves from one row to the other along that continuous path.

Its light

Clear circulation keeps each person upright: one receives without feeling small, the other gives without expecting. Amounts and gestures are spoken, and the account is checked.

Its shadow

The gift turns into a disguised bill: you give a lot, you count what comes back, or take help that binds you. Emotional debt is born of a favour done.

Notes on the symbolism

Symbolism TdM. This value doubles the one before it: it divides into equal groups, where the odd numbers keep one element apart.

What this card invites you to do

Go back over the last exchange and name what was given, then what came back. If the balance tilts, say so without accusing anyone.
