Today’s Tarot: 10 of Pentacles

There is newness in the air, with all the completions indicated 10’s and pages and aces around the past few weeks. As things complete, new things begin. But let’s talk about completion in the form of the 10 of pentacles.

This isn’t just a card of financial abundance. It’s also about legacy. In the card you can see the older man, younger family members, and dogs gathered around an ornate garden to celebrate just such a legacy. It’s about gaining abundance and allowing that abundance to nurture others. It’s having more than enough for this generation, and passing it to the next — the 10 of pentacles is more about just the wealth gained through short-term success, and instead speaks to a sense of longer term accomplishment. It’s also traditionally indicative of the importance of family — as within the card itself you can see that lineage.

This also asks the questions of, if you have abundance now — how are you using it? Are you becoming reliant on it? Is there stagnation, hiding in the opulence? This is one of those cards (okay, all of them are) where position is very key. With the 10 of pentacles in the present position, it’s best to be grateful for the abundance you have right now.
