In the picture

An old man in a patterned robe sits with two white dogs at the gate of a family estate, while a couple and a child stand in the archway. Ten pentacles are arranged across the picture.

Upright meaning

The Ten of Pentacles is lasting security: family, inheritance, tradition and wealth built over generations. The card favours long-term plans and thinking about what you will pass on.

Reversed meaning

Reversed, foundations shake. Family disputes, money problems or breaking with tradition are possible. What is built to last still needs care.

About the suit of Pentacles

Pentacles (also called coins or disks) are the suit of earth: money, work, health, home and the practical side of life. Pentacles cards are about building things that last.
