The Hierophant and Six of Pentacles

The ruler of Taurus with its middle decan. The Hierophant is the institution; the Six of Pentacles is a figure with a balance in one hand giving coins with the other. The tradition reads the pair as organised generosity: charity, patronage, tithing, the formal structures societies build for giving.

Associated with support offered within an established framework rather than spontaneously. Read as dependable and as slightly unequal.

Funding, grants and sponsorship. Frequently read where the help is genuine and the giver sets the terms.

The scales are the point of the Six and the Hierophant is who calibrated them. If a reading is about receiving help, this pair points at the rules rather than the generosity.
