The Ten of Pentacles is aligned with Mercury in Virgo and referred to as the Lord of Wealth. It represents richness, bounty and abundance, both inner and outer.
Mercury is at home in Virgo, and Virgo gives Mercury a focused expression for its many gifts. It organises the resources that Mercury represents and gives form to the energy of magic manifestation.
When we feel gratitude, blessings and that we are more fortunate than many others, we become a magnet for more of the same. That is the true meaning of this card; we are able to see in our world what we feel in our heart - that it is indeed a wonderful world.
There is security and stability centred around the family and home, and a sense of the continuity and comfort of generations. This card can indicate inheritance and trust funds, or traditions that are important and form the basis of a family's history. When children become adults and find themselves acting and talking like their parents and grandparents, there is a feeling of satisfaction and joy in the continuity.
Traditionally this card can point to large sums of money, not arriving as the result of chance, but more often tied to the family or family business.
This Ten, as with all Tens, represents the culmination of a cycle - this one a cycle of Earth and materiality. Following this card is a new cycle, one that arrives with a new burst of energy and enthusiasm, often a new cycle initiated by investment based on existing securities to ensure more future prosperity.
There may be a legacy that is left to future generations in the form of a work of creativity, such as art, books, or some other tangible legacy that will be of ongoing benefit.
The riches that you experience now - material, emotional, spiritual - are all a reflection of the seeds you have been planting in your inner world that are now seeing the light of day.
“Ordinary riches can be stolen, real riches cannot. In your soul are infinitely precious things that cannot be taken from you.” - Oscar Wilde
