Ten of Pentacles

The "Tens" in the Tarot Deck represent transcendent completion - as opposed to the mere physical completion of the "Nines". That is, not only has the task been completed, but the performer (seeker) has also learnt the lessons and experienced the spiritual development brought to him/her by the task or situation.

In the case of the Ten of Pentacles, fulfillment may take the form of material wealth and security. The Robin Wood "Ten of Pentacles" card is titled "Prosperity" - and both refers to and depicts the riches of home and family as well an obviously sufficient quantity of financial wealth/security.

This card may indicate the value of expending efforts on projects that will also benefit future generations - or advice to ensure that people of a wide range of ages and interests are included in our work, social, and personal interactions.

Remember that all of the Pentacles cards in the Tarot Deck have some energies in common. These include, for example, the overall association of the suit of Pentacles with the element of earth and material concerns. For further information, read about the Suit of Pentacles in general.

Some texts include meanings for "reversed cards", which apply when the cards are shuffled in both order and orientation. This doubles the number of possible "cards" in the deck from 78 to 156. (In terms of the probabilities of obtaining results by chance alone, it is not a simple doubling as once a card has been drawn it cannot be selected again in the opposite orientation in the same reading.)
