Six of Pentacles

The Six of Pentacles shows us a person of statue giving alms from his right and  to a person wearing a yellow covering, he also holds the scales of Justice in his left hand in front of a person in a blue covering on his left.  Both people who are kneeling appear to have suffered through many issues in life - whether of their own devices or not.

The alms giver seem to have made a decision and is giving alms to the person on the left (his right).  Notice the scales of Justice tip slightly to the left (his right ), indicating that the person on the left has won favor with the alms giver.  It could have been his story, sincerity, or perhaps intuition and senses that this person not only needs the help but will make a conscious effort to get himself out of his current situation.

Sometimes giving to those in need is tricky - when giving, everyone hopes that the person receiving the help will make a better life for themselves and not do the thing(s) that caused them to end up in the current situation to begin with.  But sometimes that's not always so, we help and the person continues down the destructive path, we help several more times and still the person receiving the help isn't better off.  Then we have to make a decision to cut that person off.  That's not an easy choice because sometimes it's a person we really love and care about, however, sometimes it's the only way to get that person to move in a direction that will bring about the real change they need in their life.
