Ten of Pentacles

What the card shows

An elderly man in an ornate robe sits by an archway with two dogs at his side, while a younger couple and a child stand nearby. Ten pentacles are arranged across the scene in a pattern like the Tree of Life, celebrating wealth that spans generations.

In the suit of Pentacles (element: Earth), the focus is money, work, the body and everyday life. Tens mark completion: a cycle fulfilled, sometimes with the weight that comes with it.
