The Lovers and Six of Pentacles

Values and the scales. The Six of Pentacles gives with one hand and holds a balance in the other. Beside the Lovers, which is a card about what you actually value rather than what you say you do, the tradition reads a decision about generosity, and about the power sitting inside it.

Associated with imbalance in a relationship being addressed as a choice rather than a grievance.

Decisions about pay, credit or resource. Frequently read where the fairness of a split is genuinely in the giver control.

The scales are the point of the Six, and the Lovers is the card that says a value is what you do rather than what you hold. This pair puts those two facts next to each other deliberately.
