Ten of Pentacles

Upright Meaning

An elderly patriarch sits at the gates of a grand estate, two dogs at his feet, while a younger couple and child pass through the archway. Ten pentacles are arranged in the Tree of Life pattern, suggesting that this material wealth mirrors a spiritual completeness. This is the card of generational wealth, family legacy, and the establishment of something that outlasts you. The Ten of Pentacles says your work has built something real and lasting — a foundation others will build upon.

Reversed Meaning

Reversed, the Ten of Pentacles indicates family financial disputes, inheritance conflicts, or the loss of a legacy. The wealth that should unite the family divides it. Old money becomes old arguments. This card reversed asks what really matters: the estate, or the people in it? Material security means nothing if the family it was built for has fallen apart.
