Ten of Pentacles

Poem

The foundation I've built forms the legacy I leave behind. Knowing I've done all I can gives me great peace of mind.

Meaning

Meaning (Upright)

A family of rhinos comes together under the blossoming leaves of a tree. Just as the Nine of Pentacles portends individual success, the Ten of Pentacles portends communal success. You are able to provide not only for yourself, but your family and loved ones as well. You have secured a strong foundation for future generations.

Meaning (Reversed)

The card in its reverse position means you may feel stressed by your inability to provide a legacy for the current or future generations. Conversely, you may not want to leave anything behind, feeling the vindictive impulse to withhold from your kin to teach them a lesson or because they are undeserving.

Upright keywords

Visual Description

An oval vignette shows ten round pentacles arranged in an arch against a glowing yellow sky. Three rhinoceroses — two large adults and a calf — occupy the lower foreground, their heads close together among tall grasses and reeds. Warm light radiates from behind the pentacles, and a small Roman numeral X appears in a decorative cartouche at the top.
