"Generosity isn't the question. What you do next is."
Six quick picks first, then your reading
A Robinhood like card, about giving to the needy and distressed. It is a testimony to success in life, but also goodness of heart. Pentacles represents wealth and the six card represents balance after stress. Together they signify giving back to those who need it and remembering your own humble beginnings.
You have reached a level of success where you can look back at your achievments and give back to others. Find people who are down on their luck that you can mentor or help. Don't get caught up on being paid back or paying back everyone who helped you-- the act of giving can be reward enough.
You are focusing on yourself and what you can get from a situation (or are doing business/in a relationship with someone who is heavily self interested). Tit-for-tat mentality can mean you don't act in accordance with your values (and it's petty). Create some boundaries to not let yourself be fooled into scarcity.

Six of Pentacles for Pisces in Self and Identity
The Dreamer
Pentacles are the earth suit, so the Six of Pentacles sits in Capricorn. Capricorn sextiles Pisces, which is help that has to be taken up rather than help that arrives. What it asks for is this: change one concrete arrangement this week. Pisces is perfectly capable of that, which is exactly why not doing it needs a better excuse. Upright, the recovery is underway with the loss still in the room.
When reading about yourself through a Pisces lens, the Six of Pentacles says that you feel like yourself is something you discover by watching how others react to you, your own thoughts are hard to locate because you're always sensing the room first, and clarity about who you are feels dangerous or impossible. This has either kept you fluid enough to move through difficult situations, or left you so uncertain that you remake yourself each time someone new arrives. You have been so focused on who you think you should be that you haven't checked in with who you actually are. The Pisces blind spot in it is the moment they have to stop being useful and admit they're drowning.
In practice that can look like a routine that finally sticks, or the body asking for the basics. Whatever form it takes, it is recovering, with the loss still in the room.
