Six of Pentaclesfor Scorpio · Work and Career
"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 Scorpio in Work and Career
The Transformer
Pentacles are the earth suit, so the Six of Pentacles sits in Capricorn. Capricorn sextiles Scorpio, 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. Scorpio 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 work through a Scorpio lens, the Six of Pentacles says that you feel like work is where you need to know the financial truth before anyone else does, a problem to solve (or a power to hold), and something you will not announce until you are certain. This has either led to you becoming the person who understands the money and the leverage, or to you refusing to enter the room where decisions are made. You have not asked yourself what you actually want from this work, only what you think you should want from it. The Scorpio blind spot in it is the feeling of being fooled, or of being seen as naive, or of depending on someone who will leave.
In practice that can look like a promotion that is really more work. Whatever form it takes, it is recovering, with the loss still in the room.
