TEN OF PENTACLES DESCRIPTION
The symbolism in the Ten of Pentacles card is very intricate. The pentacles are arranged in a pattern called the Tree of Life, representing the universe on all levels of consciousness: physical, subconscious/emotional, intellectual, and spiritual.
The stone arch is a gateway between the spiritual and physical worlds. It is carved with scenes and symbols of natural and moral law. The lesson in the Ten of Pentacles is that a good life is rewarded with material and spiritual wealth.
The rich mansion on the other side of the arch shows the material rewards and the old man in the colourful robes symbolizes the spiritual ones. The human figures in the Ten of Pentacles Tarot card represent the circle of life – childhood, adulthood and old age.
The man and woman inside the arch are focusing on their accomplishments and each other. But the inquisitive child is playing with one of the dogs in the Ten of Pentacles, whose attention is focused on the old man. The cryptic symbols on the robe and dog point to a higher destiny.

REVERSED TEN OF PENTACLES
When reversed, the Ten of Pentacles is a stern warning that you have lost sight of the big picture. A past crisis may have thrown you off balance.
It is important that you regain control of your situation. You are leaving too many things to chance. The reversed Ten of Pentacles warns of financial and personal losses. They often seem unexpected and sometimes they are devastating. However, all of them can be prevented or minimized. Just think about how many lives are saved each year by functioning smoke alarms and fire extinguishers. Even reversed, the 10 of Pentacles is generally a very positive omen. This is not, however, a time to gamble with your security and things that are important to you; in other words, don't take silly chances. General: The reversed 10 of Pentacles, in general, says that you have a great deal to be happy about, but you need to beware of a sense of boredom, which often comes about when people are actually at peace. Don't shake things up for the sake of it. Count your blessings, at all levels. Work: You may be tempted to leave a stable and lucrative situation on a bit of a whim when the 10 of Pentacles reversed comes up in a work reading. Think long and hard before doing so. Yes, life is about taking chances, but don't take blind chances. If you are looking for work when this card appears, beware of people that talk a good game and scammers. You shouldn't have to pay money to get a job. Love: The reversed 10 of Pentacles is still a very positive indicator with regard to love. However, if you find yourself feeling bored in a long-time committed relationship, be careful before you get yourself out of it; think long and hard first. It may just be that you need to take a new approach, try new things together and/or talk about the way that you are feeling. If you are looking for love and are single, this is a time to get out and meet people; you are likely to find that your good, upbeat energy is coming through you and that people are naturally attracted to you. |
Finances: When the 10 of Pentacles reversed appears, you will need to be especially thoughtful and cautious in your financial dealings. Things that may seem like a good idea on the surface may turn out to be less lucrative than you anticipated. Invest carefully. Watch where you put your trust.
Health: In general, your health should be good when this card appears and/or will be on the upswing, but again, don't take it for granted. Foolish risks can be a likelihood when this card appears. Know how deep the water is before diving in headfirst; don't eat foods you know you're allergic to or things of that nature.
