Visual description
A gothic, multi-storied mansion rises under a star-speckled purple sky with the number 10 ornamented at the top border. In the foreground, a solemn woman in a long black dress stands among gravestones while two small masked children flank her, one wearing a pale animal mask and the other a papier-mâché face. Between them a large boar or wild hog moves across patterned autumnal ground. The image is framed by an ornate golden filigree and the word 'PENTACLES' appears in bold letters along the bottom.
Meaning
You first see a house that has stood for generations and the people who still gather on its grounds, the weight of history both sheltering and defining them. The air carries the smell of worn leather, old wood and hearth smoke, as the matriarch's steady posture suggests continuity, material accomplishment and the passing of security from one generation to the next. Wealth, inheritance and family traditions are alive here: small faces in masks hint at lineage, roles played, and the safety a clan can provide when its systems hold. At the same time the stones and the night sky recall mortality and the fragile nature of possessions, a reminder that long-term prosperity depends on care, wise stewardship and moral ties as much as on coins. When this card brightens your path, it sings of settled achievement, legacy planning, reliable provision and the comfort of roots; when it falls into shadow it warns of hollow lineage, brittle institutions, family disputes over resources, or security that proves superficial. You might find pleasure in building a solid foundation now, or be asked to reckon with patterns that must be mended before the next generation inherits them. Whether as promise or caution, the scene speaks of what endures, what must be protected, and what can be lost if attention drifts away.
