What does the Ten of Pentacles Tarot card mean?

Learn the meaning of the Ten of Pentacles Tarot card in under a minute!


Ten of Pentacles Upright Meaning

The Ten of this suit represents the final result of cumulative efforts -- perhaps after generations of effort -- resulting in such abundance that it directly and indirectly supports a lot of people. One layer of meaning refers to the pride of supporting your own lineage of well-loved souls.

Imagine a flow of abundant resources so abundant that you are filled with not only pride but self-respect and gratitude. Such bounty can impact the destiny of many families and generations. Nobility obligates is possessors, and the obligation must be passed down from generation to generation along with the abundance and freedom.

Ten of Pentacles Reversed Meaning

The Ten of Coins reversed suggests that having to make an entirely new start is sometimes a blessing. You may feel as if you have experienced a terrible loss or a fall from grace. This may be true, but both the having and the losing are part of the fluctuating evolution of human consciousness. Sometimes you just have to begin again.

Ten of Pentacles Advice Position

The Ten of Coins in this position advises that you think of yourself as one who may be of great benefit to people. No matter whether it be a service, an invention or an idea -- you know you are holding a storehouse of value. Your potential treasure is enough to take care of you and yours for a long time. Exactly how are you going to administer the rewards of your talent?

Recall the time when you began this current path or endeavor. Remember your sincerity, your innocence and your original vision. Can you reproduce success and sustain inspiration as the administrator of your present abundance? Think of every act of spending and investing and securing as the sowing of seed that will sprout and produce another money tree in somebody else's yard. How can you get really clever and inventive at throwing those seeds? This is your next assignment.

Ten of Pentacles Love Position

With the Ten of Coins in this position, you are the proper inheritor of a family tradition or ethic that makes you an important person in your community. This underlying heritage may have so thoroughly permeated your history and development that you have gone to special lengths to be distinct from it, to avoid becoming swallowed by it.

Living up to this legacy may feel like a burden that affects your personal relationships, but it is yours to bear -- both literally and karmatically -- and it would be wrong to reject it. Obviously this situation provides you with stability and security, but it also creates special obligations. Maturity and sobriety are great allies to a person who has been given so much in terms of money, education, skills or responsibilities.

Ten of Pentacles Career Position

The Ten of Coins in this position suggests that your work obligations place you among people who have a high degree of privilege. Both the negative and positive sides of these highly accomplished and affluent individuals are revealed through the daily contacts that you make. Witnessing this exclusive mode of living may bring to mind the radical divisions separating different groups on this beloved but paradoxical globe.

Something in your destiny calls you to bridge these distances and perhaps use your platform of safety and security to help others. To become a true world citizen, you need to be able to move among all kinds of people in your work. In this case, that involves learning to feel natural in situations of great opulence, among people who may take their life of luxury completely for granted. Contribute your generous sensibilities to the people who have more money than they can spend. It could give you a powerful engine for doing good works in the world.
