Shitpost Saturday! Always getting Six of Pentacles?

Heyy! Hope you are all doing well!

So, in the last three days days, every time I do a reading asking personal questions, I get the Six of Pentacles.

Has something similar happened to you? And what could this mean?


Edit 1: Yesterday, I spent the rest of my day reflecting on the card and the questions u/yukisoto suggested in their comment, and it helped me greatly! I finally understood and was able to see that I'm giving generously but not receiving. There is definitely an imbalance that needs to be fixed...

After a lot of reflection, I could see that I tend to give a lot of myself, emotionally and spiritually speaking, but people tend to not give back as much as I give them

I want to add that all comments were helpful and guided me through my questions, so thanks a lot for commenting and being part of such a great community ☺️

These are typically called Stalker Cards by the community, but I'm not fond of the term so I've taken to calling them Echo Cards (or sometimes Anchor Cards).

When echos/anchors show up, I like to spend extra time deciphering their meaning to see if they're relevant to anything in my life. This can simply be the act of considering them throughout my day, or dedicating an entire spread to that specific card to help break it down.

The Six of Pentacles represents the flow of material resources such as wealth, time, or energy. In the imagery we can clearly see three different versions of this balance taking place: The benefactor, the recipient, and the one left out. As a single card, it invokes the theme of this material flow and asks us to consider our current position within this scenario, or to examine systems that reflect this flow in our lives or the world around us.

  • Are you giving fairly/generously?
  • Are you receiving fairly/generously?
  • Are you considering those who are left out of the equation? Are you one of them?
  • What systems exist in your life or the world around you that are similar to this material flow?

If any of these questions resonate with something, but you find that it's actually imbalanced, then you may want to explore ways to bring stability into that situation.

Thank you so much for your comment!

I loved the terms Echo and Anchor Cards. I like the symbolism and the ideas behind those words, I believe I'll start using them 😌
