Today’s drawing brings us the 10 of Pentacles.

When I look at the Ten of Pentacles, I see a person surrounded by the riches of life.  This person is living a very charmed life, something that they may or may not realize.

In the Universal Waite deck, the image of the Ten of Pentacles depicts a man wearing a cloak full of symbols.  He is an older man, so I see him as a person that has a lot of life experience.  Through his life experiences, this person has obtained a wealth of knowledge.  He’s learned what works for him, and through his mistakes, he’s learned what doesn’t.

This man seems to be inside a castle or a home, a comfort zone.  Adorning the walls are banners showcasing a few different things.  One of the banners is of another castle.  Castles are symbolic for goals and material riches.  Another poster displays ships.  Ships are symbolic for journeys and adventures in other lands.

He is sitting with some dogs and is around other people.  I see this as being surrounded by loyalty and those that truly care and support him.

Reversed: With the Ten of Pentacles reversed,  I see a person that is stuck in problem after problem.  This person may be bright and intelligent, but doesn’t use their knowledge to the fullest.  This person may also have financial problems and problems with their family relationships or support system. It could also mean that the person was surrounded by wealth, but for some reason lost it, gambling everything away or taking it for granted – until it could finally take no more.

If you see the Ten of Pentacles reversed in a drawing, it means that you have experienced a loss.  You can rectify the situation by keep on keepin’ on.  In other words, keep working towards your goals.  If you’re having problems with your family, understand the situation and see what solutions you can take to solve the issue.  If you’re having problems with your support group (for instance), you may need to pick out the weeds and surround yourself with positive, uplifting people.

I drew the Ten of Pentacles a few days ago and then again in a three card spread.

I’ve been going through a transitional phase in my life that has been rough at some points.  However, I found this card to be a reminder of the wealth of knowledge that I’ve obtained in the last few months.  This also reminds me that I have a wonderful support system.  I’m surrounded by loyal people, wonderful family, and a network of supportive friends.
