The Ten of Pentacles in the tarot
The Ten of Pentacles and its meaning in a tarot reading. The Ten of Pentacles presents us with an image of an older man who seems to enjoy considerable wealth and abundance.
Graphic description of the card
The Ten of Pentacless presents a city image, where an elderly patriarch is surrounded by his family and dogs. He wears a rich robe decorated with images of vine leaves, crescent moons and other symbols. Behind the pair of laughing women conversing under the archway, a child reaches out to pet one of the dogs.
This card is a symbol of financial security, fulfillment, and comfort. The patriarch is able to rest and enjoy the fruits of his labor in old age, while looking on contentedly at the lives of his children and grandchildren.
The ten of gold indicates that this is a man who has accomplished much during his lifetime and is now able to rest in the satisfaction of knowing that what he has created will provide value and joy to others even when he is gone.
What does the King of Cups mean in the Tarot?
The King of Cups in right hand position, General Meaning: This very positive ten is wealth, inheritance, abundance; family stability; prosperity; contentment; treasures found; a lottery win; family togetherness and support, a family business. Family, settlement, comfortable retirement.
This is a card, rather than of success, of achievement. Here the achievement may be strictly material, but it is also in all or any area of your life. After difficulties and turbulent times, you reach the end of the road, the goal, and can fully enjoy it.
This can be your economy and finances, as well as a business that goes ahead, the creation of a family, a loving relationship, a social position, professional renown or a personal project.
If you have not had this achievement yet, this card expressly indicates that you will have it and it will be very important. This goal achieved, not without effort, logically fills you with satisfaction and pride, while at the same time you feel that it is not only for you, but that you must share it with others, with your nearest and dearest, so that they also benefit from your success.
This card is all about being a provider and providing protection and reassurance. Like an elderly retired patriarch of the family, who after years of struggle and effort has a solid position and finds happiness no longer in what he owns, but in giving it away, in providing for others, in securing his present and his future, having the feeling that he can now rest because he has achieved what he wished for everyone.
There is a relationship with the family here, or at least, if you do not have a formed family, with your closest and most intimate group, even to a social group or a commercial society.
If it is the family, you are putting all your energy and your best effort into achieving that feeling that the “retired patriarch” has, a good material life, but also a wealth of emotions and sensations, since money is only a part of our lives and perhaps true happiness is nurtured and exists in less tangible and more subtle things. You want the “whole package” of happiness and abundance to provide for your loved ones.
This is a card that speaks of how vital and substantial a family is and how it gives meaning to our lives. You are part of a whole, something bigger than you, that has its history and tradition, the experience of those who were before you flowing through your veins, the notion of being part of something, a group that is then a tribe, then a ladea and then a complete society.
An order and a structure in which to develop life and the more stable and happy it all is, the more complete, secure and comfortable our existence is and will be that of our descendants. All this involves feeling the family, being part of it and living and acting based on its precepts.
Therefore, this card also speaks to you of having gratitude and sharing. All achievements are much more valued and enjoyable when we share them with others, and gratitude is the great wheel that moves the beneficial things in our lives, I don’t need to tell you that, surely you know it as well as I do.
It is clear that the golds are materially oriented, therefore this card augurs for you abundance and that you will be blessed by the gifts of material fortune. It does not matter the amount in itself, because for each one that amount is variable, it is that you will feel that you have everything you need, that you are done, that you do not need more because you are full.
You will be far from risks and economic problems, financial security covers you with its coat, luck is even on your side now or will be very soon to bless you.
But there is more here: This is not just a momentary, one-off success, but expands into the future. This is about creating a legacy, that what you conquer moves into the future and is solid and enduring over time, the benefits are long term, so if you are still on the road to success, keep in mind to focus your goals and put your focus on that vision for the future.
It’s not about winning a battle now, a success for today, however glittering and wonderful it may be, must be sustained into the future.
Whatever the question you want the tarot to answer, this card is positive and sure success, today and tomorrow, so if your things are not going well, in whatever plane of your life, the ten of gold comes to tell you and announce that everything will be fine, that things will change and that the blessings will come to you to stay.
Certainly there are few cards as happy as this one in the deck, and when other related cards accompany the reading, there is no doubt that you will be touched by the magic wand of the great universal order, even if it does not seem so to you now or your situation is in every way opposed to wealth, abundance, achievement and prosperity. And remember that this prosperity, while very much materially based, is extensive to all spheres of your life.
What does the Ten of Pentacles mean in love?
In the field of love. The Ten of Gold heralds a time of great happiness. It is the strengthening, the solidity of a couple or relationship in the future, consolidating in time. It is also a card of great commitment, so it can announce formal commitments, forming a couple, cohabitation or marriage, happy weddings of close people, the conception of a child, a happy birth.
It is very likely that you will enjoy a time of great peace and tranquility in love, without arguments, jealousy, fights or tribulations. There is dialogue and certainly some happiness that money brings, such as shopping, some luxuries, outings or trips.
Above all, no argument will be originated by economic issues, an evil that undoubtedly affects many couples in today’s troubled world. It is also an excellent omen for family life in general, with good and peaceful relationships with parents, children and/or grandchildren.
If you are lonely, the appearance of a great love is imminent. It is also likely to be someone wealthy or at least with some peace of mind and solvency in your financial life.
What does the Ten of Pentacles mean at work?
On the work front, The Ten of Gold heralds progress of all kinds, whether it be promotions, salary increases, promotions, transfers with improvements in cities and earnings.
It is the successful completion of a project, or the indication of kick-starting a project with all the blessings in our favor. There is recognition from superiors, peers or subordinates. Success and increased income are at your door, even if you don’t see any of that as possible right now.
If you are looking for a job, there is no doubt that you will get it and that it will be much better than you have calculated or expected. The promotion will be fast, as will be the money you will be paid.
It is a card that cries out to you not to give up, even if your current situation is very hard, because just around the corner, good luck and fortune await you.
What does the Ten of Pentacles mean for money and finances?
In terms of money and finances, The Ten of Pentacles brings its gold coins to the table. Here any financial question is answered with a resounding YES. Everything is optimism and profit. If you are starting a business or venture, you should definitely do it because the destiny of it is success
Your investments and savings grow, the profit increases, everything in this card invites you to be filled with well-being and financial abundance, even luck and chance is on your side now, so do not rule out an extra profit in a game or raffle. Time of well-being, abundance and complete calm in what concerns money. Save, but spend and have fun, share.
But be careful, it does not mean that you will be a millionaire overnight. It’s all about what you inwardly consider sufficient and good for your life. Maybe you don’t need luxury yachts and your happiness is achieved with less than that.
This card gives you wealth based on what your real needs and aspirations are. Do you feel that you can never have a boat? That it is impossible?
That you don’t deserve it? Well, then you won’t. The universe will give you just what you want. The universe will give you just what you ask for from your deepest feeling, not from your rational desire, keep that in mind.
What does the Card of the Ten of Pentacles mean in health?
In matters of your health. The Ten of Pentacles points to good times present and to come. You are in a state of calm and tranquility, and this has a very favorable effect on your physical body. You have vitality and a very precious fuel that moves you: Optimism.
If you are suffering from any illness or ailment, it is not serious and you are progressing very favorably, as well as if you are waiting for any results or specific treatments. The news that arrives is very good and encouraging
What does the Ten of Pentacles mean spiritually?
In terms of spirituality, The Ten of Pentacles augurs that this will be a time of peace, joy and great prosperity for you, so how are you going to share all this? It is necessary that you consider sharing because it is your retribution, your way of giving thanks.
And another vital question arises: When you feel that you already have everything, that you have reached your optimum point, do you still have room for your spiritual world, for your inner life, or are you going to move it all to the background? That would be a mistake.
The abundance that you now have should lead you to a greater deepening of your emotional search, it is now that you have the tranquility of the material world that you can delve into the invisible mysteries of the spirit! Delight yourself with all these good feelings, enjoy and enjoy everything you feel, it is imperative that you are aware of what you are living
What is the meaning of the upside down or reversed Ten of Pentacles card?
The Ten of Pentacles in the reversed position, General Meaning: Just as upside down this card speaks to us of achievement and completion, a consolidated family, solid emotional commitments and financial stability, when reversed it indicates that there are significant obstacles in achieving part or all of it together.
The picture of the happy family, abundant in the material and emotional is distorted, something does not fit, the union has been seriously weakened and is in a delicate situation the overall progress not only yours, but of the family environment.
Everything has been weakened, progress and financial stability, feelings, family union and cohesion, business ventures and business, work, future plans.
It is common to see this card when a family or a marriage is going through serious financial difficulties, when the economic is the center of the scene, when there is an argument about money or lack of it.
I also usually see this card in divorces, where everything is reduced to divide and liquidate the assets, or in situations of bankruptcy, companies that break up or businesses that close, where it is necessary to disinvest and surely lose money.
It is undoubtedly a negative and worrying card, however, it does not mean that all is lost or that tragedy in full body has come before you.
Everything that happens or may happen in the future with this card, may well be something momentary, product of bad decisions and even bad luck, but as everything is cyclical in this life, the wheel that is now down, will later be at the top, because it is a never-ending movement.
The wheel may turn very slowly and each cycle may seem eternal, but it moves and everything will change in due time. As a stick of Golds, this ten puts a lot of emphasis on the financial and material, it is there perhaps where you will have the most serious consequences or the biggest problems, right now or in your near future. The difficulties seem and the efforts seem to redound to nothing.
There is a lack of resources, any investment, no matter how small, can be compromised. It is a tough time financially and possibly the problem lies in the poor foundation on which the matter in question has been built.
Certainly money problems bring a lot of anguish and bring arguments and frustrations into family life, so your mood and general state of mind are probably not at their best.
The responsibilities and all the burdens that you are in charge of harass you and seem to give you no respite, which brings health problems, insomnia, sadness, anguish and anger, you move between these emotions in a negative carousel from which apparently you can not get out.
But there is also a different reading of this card: You may be doing well in terms of your finances and life in general, but you feel empty and bored. It is the famous “rich kids’ blues”, where you have everything but still find no pleasure or gratification in your life.
In this case, the ten of golds indicates that you should be conscious, presently aware of the gifts and blessings you have in your life, whether they are many or few.
Thus, this card does not announce economic problems or hardships, but rather that these complications will come if you are not able to appreciate what you have and what surrounds you. This lack and misery is evident on an emotional level, and not material.
We rarely lack EVERYTHING. We can have no money, but health, or little health but a lot of love, or be without love but with good money…there is always something we have in abundance, even sometimes we have abundance in all of it together, the issue is if we really appreciate it, value it and are grateful for it.
This card may well refer to someone who from having it all no longer knows what he has nor knows what he wants. You get bored easily, there are no motivations, there is no future, everything is more of the same, so it is a powerful wake-up call to reflect on the blessings that the universe has lavished on you.
What does the reversed Ten of Pentacles mean in love?
In the realm of love. The reversed ten of gold can indicate, especially if you are in a new relationship, that you do not feel completely sure that the relationship has a future.
The economic aspect is important here, so you may see a good partner but one that does not provide the financial guarantees for a minimally smooth future. This increases considerably if you already have children.
One way or another, the card indicates that you, your partner, or perhaps both of you, do not see a long-term future; there is not the necessary conviction to fight for a long relationship.
In a long-term relationship, the card points to serious structural problems, mainly money and bonding issues, but there may be other underlying issues, such as too much boredom due to routine, lack of excitement and passion, repetitive or absent sensuality. All can be resolved, however, if there is a real commitment to move out of the crisis and move forward.
If you are lonely, it is possible that at this time you are not looking for serious commitments, but just looking to have a good time, have some fun, take what the moment brings and nothing more. Do not expect committed relationships for now, “Carpe diem” seems to be the sign of this moment in your life.
What does the reversed Ten of Pentacles mean at work?
In the field of work, The reversed ten of gold can indicate lower salaries, cutbacks, demotions, and at its most dramatic, even job loss, but usually it is money that is lost or you don’t get, you ask for a raise and they don’t give it to you.
The chart also suggests that you may be tempted to change jobs or leave your current one. It is a bad idea, basically because this idea is born out of a whim and not from rational considerations. The terrain is very uncertain on the other front and you should stay where you are for the time being.
If you are looking for a job, things will take a little longer than expected. You must be especially careful not to be swindled or deceived by proposals that appear to be as bright as gold, for in reality they are not. Do not let yourself be dazzled by glitter and promises, as they may be false illusions. Beware of dishonest people.
What does the card of the Ten of Pentacles reversed mean in money and finances?
In matters of finance and money, The reversed ten of gold does not signal a catastrophic ruin or misery for your life, but it warns you to be extremely cautious. Things are likely to go wrong. Business deals that seem good don’t work out, investments fall through, money is lost, payments are delayed, money you lend is not returned.
There may be many ideas that seem very tempting, and opportunities for seemingly easy money to be made, but in reality they are bad decisions and you are likely to lose your money. Although life is risk and he who does not risk does not win, here you must be very prudent.
Save, do not spend, and above all do not let yourself be tempted by colored mirrors. It is not the time to enlarge the business, expand and diversify, nor is it the time to start a new business from scratch. Wait for a more propitious time, which will come in due course.
What does the Ten of Pentacles card reversed in health mean?
In health matters, The reversed ten of gold indicates that you are probably very stressed and tired, mentally and physically. You do not sleep enough and worries do not leave your head for a moment.
This has repercussions in your body, so you are likely to have digestive disorders mainly but also panic attacks due to the anguish and even depression that you may feel at this time of your life.
It is not a card that announces serious health problems, but you should take care of yourself and reduce nervousness. Balance your meals, exercise, that will make you sleep better and with a good sleep, everything feels better.
What does the card of the Ten of Pentacles reversed mean spiritually?
In terms of spirituality. The reversed ten of gold marks that you probably have a lot of anger right now: with yourself, with others, with the world, with the universe. Things are not going your way and you feel that everything has abandoned you, from family to God.
You must regain your inner peace, in the certainty and understanding that everything is a cycle, life is those continuous waves, good, bad, good, bad, that hit us all or lift us up. This too will pass because everything happens in this life!
Try to rediscover your spiritual source, your point of calm. Meditate, do yoga exercises if necessary, but you must return to your center, because once you balance the center, everything else will align with it.
