Ten of Pentacles

Upright

An old man sits with his dogs while a couple and a child stand in the courtyard. Ten pentacles arranged across the scene in the shape of the Tree of Life. The Ten of Pentacles is legacy — the family wealth, the long-built home, the inheritance of more than money. The card honors what gets passed down. Notice what you've built that other people can stand on. Notice what you stand on, that someone built for you.

Reversed

The family in disarray, or the legacy contested. The Ten of Pentacles reversed is the inheritance fight, the family business in trouble, the home that's about to be sold. Sometimes it's the opposite: material wealth without family, money that didn't build anyone a home. The card asks what kind of wealth you're actually building. Some of it doesn't show in the bank.
