Ten of Pentacles

The Ten of Pentacles closes the Suit of Pentacles in Tarot, and thus indicates the culmination of work previously put in, as well as the attainment of fullness in the material field. The card shows an elderly man sitting on a chair, a young couple with a child, and two dogs (symbolizing loyalty and protection). On the card we also see a house, a brick gate, and ten Pentacles scattered everywhere. The card's meaning points to a prosperous and peaceful life, which can also be ensured for future generations. Just like the Ten of Cups, it indicates family matters, but in this case mutual happiness is based mainly on a sense of stability and prosperity. The Ten of Pentacles very often heralds success in the financial field and a moment in life when you can fully enjoy your accumulated wealth.

This may be especially true in the case of a business you are running together with your loved ones, which may turn out to be very lucrative for you at this time. The Ten of Pentacles is the card of stability, a sense of security and attachment to tradition.

The Ten of Pentacles in an upright position heralds, above all, a very good financial period in which your whole family will benefit from the wealth you have accumulated. The upright Ten of Pentacles may also indicate the birth of a child, and on the other hand a long and prosperous life. The card is a very good omen if your question concerns practical matters, and in certain circumstances it may even indicate the receipt of an inheritance. In itself, however, it does not foretell a period of earning money, but rather indicates the use of previously accumulated wealth. The Ten of Pentacles is the card of the family, that's why when you see it in your Tarot hand of cards it is above all a symbol of good atmosphere and good relations between you and your relatives.

All these qualities may refer not only to financial matters but also to other aspects of your life such as health.

This is a time for celebration and enjoying every moment of life together.

When the Ten of Pentacles is reversed it often indicates family problems, especially if they are financial in nature. The card may indicate family conflicts, but also fights over money or inheritance. The Ten of Pentacles reversed also points to certain limitations and problems that may arise from family debts. In addition, this card may speak of problems with a will, or theft of a lifetime's possessions. If you have the reversed Ten of Pentacles in your question, you are facing a period of general dissatisfaction, or even loss of stability in life. Sometimes it can be a warning against risky investments that may jeopardize your financial future in the long run. The reversed Ten of Pentacles encourages you to be more cautious in making all, life decisions, and also to focus on long-term plans and investments.

In matters of love and relationships the Ten of Pentacles carries an overall positive message. It heralds a period of harmony and particularly good family relationships.

The upright Ten of Pentacles is also a very good sign in matters related to family business, or buying or building a house, as it indicates successful investments here. Your relationship can be greatly influenced by your family, and matters related to them, but at the present time you can count on their full support. If you are currently single then the upright Ten of Pentacles indicates that you are approaching a new relationship in a mature and responsible manner, and that you are not leaving your choice of life partner to chance. However, the upright Ten of Pentacles does not indicate the timing of entering into a new relationship, so it will not be something singles are likely to see in their schedule. Instead, the card foretells stability in the emotional field and the possibility in the long run of forming a marriage with someone who will share the same values with you.

The Ten of Pentacles in a reversed position in love affairs very often indicates a negative influence of the family on the ongoing relationship. This may be due to the fact that they consider the current relationship to be unconventional or even harmful to the family's interests. The reversed Ten of Pentacles may also predict immediate problems concerning your children and your partner especially in financial matters. You may be experiencing changes in your family life at the moment, which may cause you to feel a loss of stability in life. On the other hand, you may be questioning the future meaning of your relationship, because at this time you don't see a future together. The reversed Ten of Pentacles also speaks of accumulating family conflicts, which negatively influence your emotional state. Moreover, your loved ones may not only interfere in your private life, but also try to make important decisions about your future for you. In such situations the reversed Ten of Pentacles indicates to become independent from the influence of your family and try to build a joint empire on your own. For singles, the reversed Ten of Pentacles indicates that you are not currently planning to start a family, nor are you looking for a person with whom you can create a future together.
