The Six of Pentacles — Generosity & Support Playlist
Giving and receiving are two sides of the same coin. The Six of Pentacles is the reminder that life is richest when we share. Not from duty or power, but from genuine care and reciprocity.
This card shows us that generosity isn’t only about material wealth. It’s about kindness, support, and the willingness to both offer and accept help. To thrive, we need each other, and this card asks us to find balance in that exchange.
And that’s where music comes in. A playlist like this acts as a spell. It opens your heart to gratitude, strengthens the bonds of community, and reminds you that generosity creates ripples far beyond what we can see.
But first, let’s talk about what this card means.
The Six of Pentacles in Tarot
In the Rider–Waite–Smith deck, the Six of Pentacles shows a wealthy figure giving coins to two kneeling beggars, a balance scale in his other hand. It’s a card of generosity, but also of power and exchange.
At its core, this card represents:
✨ Giving and Receiving — the cycle of generosity and gratitude that sustains us.
✨ Balance of Power — being mindful of inequality in support, charity, or relationships.
✨ Mutual Care — the reminder that thriving happens when resources are shared.
When this card shows up in a reading, it may be nudging you to reflect on where you can give more freely, or how you can allow yourself to receive without shame.
Music as Magic
To me, music is one of the simplest kinds of spellwork. A playlist can set the tone for an afternoon of creativity, a ritual, or even just a mood shift. The songs we choose become the energy we’re weaving around ourselves.
The Six of Pentacles playlist is one I imagine playing while:
Writing letters of gratitude to those who’ve supported me.
Cooking a meal to share with friends or neighbors.
Giving back in small but meaningful ways.
Sitting in meditation on how to receive with openness.
The playlist begins by grounding us in trust and reliability. Then we get into songs that bring in loyalty and tenderness. By the end, you are invited to put generosity into practice. It’s music for kindness that flows in both directions.
The Playlist
Here’s the soundtrack I curated to capture the essence of the Six of Pentacles:
Lean on Me – Bill Withers
This soulful classic is the essence of mutual support. Bill Withers reminds us that generosity isn’t always about money. Sometimes it’s about presence, compassion, and the willingness to carry each other through hard times. It’s a perfect opening track, grounding the Six of Pentacles in simple, human kindness.You’ve Got a Friend – Carole King
Carole King captures the comfort of knowing someone is always in your corner. The Six of Pentacles asks us to give freely, and this song reflects the reciprocal side: learning to receive support without guilt or shame. Generosity is a two-way street, and true friendship thrives on that balance.Reach Out I’ll Be There – Four Tops
This Motown anthem bursts with energy, echoing the urgency of generosity. Sometimes support needs to come fast and loud, sweeping someone off their feet before despair takes root. The Six of Pentacles encourages us to be that presence, reminding others they’re not alone and that help is never far away.Put a Little Love in Your Heart – Jackie DeShannon
This track reminds us that even the smallest acts of kindness have ripple effects. Just like the Six of Pentacles, the song encourages us to move from self to community, widening the circle of care. Love given freely multiplies, touching people we may never even meet. That’s real reciprocity.Stand by You – Rachel Platten
Rachel Platten sings about unwavering loyalty, standing firm even when times are hardest. This speaks to the Six of Pentacles’ deeper lesson: generosity is about showing up in more ways than one. Sometimes what’s needed is devotion, empathy, and courage rather than money or gifts.Carry You – Novo Amor
This gentle, atmospheric track feels like being cradled. It’s the softer side of the Six of Pentacles — not flashy or dramatic, but the quiet willingness to help shoulder another’s burdens. Generosity often looks like small, tender acts that ease the weight of someone else’s journey.Thank You – Dido
Gratitude is just as important as generosity, and Dido’s heartfelt ballad embodies that balance. Giving is incomplete without recognition, and receiving is incomplete without thanks. The Six of Pentacles teaches us that acknowledgment creates a loop where generosity is a shared experience instead of a one-sided transaction.I’ll Be There – Jess Glynne
This upbeat anthem is filled with joy and reassurance, reminding us that being dependable is a gift in itself. The Six of Pentacles isn’t only about material generosity, but about the emotional wealth of reliability. Knowing someone will show up when they say they will is its own blessing.We’re Going to Be Friends – The White Stripes
This playful track captures the innocence of giving without expectation. It echoes the Six of Pentacles’ invitation to return to simplicity, sharing joy, laughter, and connection without keeping score. Sometimes generosity is as pure as offering your time, attention, and presence with an open heart.Give a Little Bit – The Goo Goo Dolls
Ending the playlist on a bright, hopeful note, this song is a call to action. It perfectly embodies the Six of Pentacles’ reminder that generosity doesn’t have to be grand. Even the smallest offering—a smile, a kind word, a moment of care—can change someone’s world.
