Your Chosen Card – Six of Patens Upright Salem Deck
When upright, the Six of Disks implies that money and resources are being apportioned in a fair and socially responsible manner. If your financial situation is secure, you may be called upon to assist those who are less fortunate. If you are experiencing a present need, essential resources and financial aid are likely to become available. An essential meaning of this card is that something of value is being passed from one person to another in a spirit of true generosity. In the words of President John F. Kennedys 1961 inaugural address, ‘Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country.’ If your question was about the best time to act, this card suggests that now is the opportune moment. Now! The idea that the present is the accepted time may be related to this cards association with the Moon as it goes through phases, but astrologically it is at its best when it transits the sign Taurus.

Here are some snippets from a few of my favorite books
Complete Book of Tarot: The offspring of a sculptor father and a midwife mother, Socrates developed what we now call the Socratic method of leading his students to wisdom. Instead of imparting information, Socrates asked penetrating questions that provoked his students to come up with their own answers. Following his mothers lead, Socrates viewed himself as a midwife of the mind, opening passages through which the knowledge inherent in the human soul could emerge into the light of day. As we follow his lead in seeking wisdom, it is useful to record thoughts and reflections in a journal.
