Ten of Pentacles

This is a busy card. There's so much going on that at first it's distracting, but the overall first impression is one of an easy going atmosphere. The card shows a man and a woman passing the time of day beneath an archway. The man appears to be on his way home and he is within striking distance of his dwelling. At the woman's side is a small child. In the foreground an elderly man takes his rest and is petting two dogs. He is dressed in richly decorated robes.

The overall tone of the ten of pentacles is one of ease and affluence. These are people who have no need to worry. They have made their way in the world or are within striking distance of their goals and now it's time to rest and recoup and enjoy what they've worked for. This may not seem to apply to you in the short term but this is the card you would want to see if you were starting up in business. There is an air of prosperity about the scene on the card and since pentacles are concerned with practicalities and money matters it is quite an auspicious card to turn up in a reading. It also speaks of wanting a certain amount of safety and stability in your life. This is what you are working towards. If you have no interest in business but you're thinking of taking out a pension or putting aside something for a rainy day, this card could be telling you to go ahead and start your nest egg for the future.
