Ten of pentacles Tarot Card Meanings

Upright Card Meaning

Fulfillment arrives to you in the form of the Ten of Pentacles. This is a sign that you have reached the end of your journey. Your struggles are nothing more than stories now to tell your loved ones around the fire as you all rejoice in your stability and each other’s company.
Make no mistake, this card is about stability. You have reached the peak of your career, or maybe even inherited a little wealth. Financial struggle, if it exists at all, is only a distant memory. Although the Pentacles are a financially oriented suit (in some decks they are even referred to as “Coins”), the material stability represented in this card does not only refer to money. It could also refer to the simple joys of the hearth, including a loving relationship with one’s family.
This card is one of happiness and abundance. Put down your striving and enjoy what you have earned and what has been given to you.

Reversed Card Meaning

The ground beneath your feet may feel as if it is trembling when you draw the Ten of Pentacles reversed. This is a card of instability. Perhaps you have lost some money that you were hoping for or your relationships have shattered, leaving you broken and lonely.
Even more cruelly, this card can represent a fleeting sense of security that you once had but has been ripped from your fingers. You were briefly able to enjoy a period of peace, of loving companionship, and then it turned out to be a falsehood. The card might also be warning you that your period of stability now may be coming to an end.
You may be beating your breast wondering where you went wrong, but the sad fact of life is that sometimes a great loss only happens through chance. Not all hard work pays off, unfortunately. But there could still be a silver lining to this loss. Perhaps the fleeting glimpse of stability was not meant for you. It is better to shatter false illusions immediately than to immerse oneself in them until one is trapped.
