10 of Pentacles as a general ADVICE

[Yola]

Hello friends, how are you? Could you please share with me? 🙃

I understand as advice: "Be like this card. Assume the characteristics, actions that suggest this card";

10 Pentacles/Coins as a GENERAL ADVICE (there is no specific question, just an orientation for the week, using RWS deck)

I can think of:

 

Invest time with your family
Share your inner wealth with the people you love
Ask your family for help
Cherish the traditional, hierarchies
Cherish the great possessions
Leave a legacy, inheritance
Open your eyes to the riches of everyday life
Build a solid foundation that spans generations
Materialize your desires

Take care of the body, relationships and finances
Get in touch with your roots

 

Anything else? Any insight? Thank you so much!

A lot of good thoughts there, Yola, I think you've pretty much got it covered! I think it does depend a bit on the question, of course, and context.

Ten tends to speak of completion and the end of a cycle, and pentacles often about material prosperity, and work. So I could see it saying see it through to the end, get things finished and move on. It might ask you to trust the next generation to take over. Perhaps to have something of a 'prosperity mindset' and not sweat the small stuff.

Depending on the deck, there's often a sense of family/community connection here, too?

 

Perhaps also a 'you're done here. let go'? You've planted and nurtured the tree, now it will either bear fruit or it won't, stop meddling.

Hi @Yola! So what came to mind other than what you have listed and what @euripides contributed is the idea of holistic-ness (apologies, I'm not sure that's actually a proper word 😅). So viewing things holistically, and incorporating the elements of physical life in a holistic way. There's something very all encompassing about this card, and as euripides mentioned, as (being a 10) it denotes completion, perhaps this can also relate to complete-ness? 

 

In terms of guidance I suppose this could be a nudge to not focus too much on one part of life, an encouragement to remember that we may need to look at all areas of life if we hope to heal or progress in a specific circumstance.

I have quite a few tarot sources on my social media and the American Tarot Association are quite good follows. On instagram they have been doing a deepdive into a card each week on their tarotassociation account. Last week they did the 10 of Pentacles which really made me think so much more about it. We know the 10's are completion but in the post the explained they are the end of the line, you cannot get anymore material than this! This is the most success or wealth or material you can get. In the RWS card, if you look to the right side, there is a boy and touching the dog. This is a link back to The Fool, you go back to the beginning again.

 

As general advice for the week, enjoy what you have, take satisfaction at the things you have earned and the rewards you now have. If you have completed a Pentacles area of your life, why not share with others? with family? with friends? loved ones? You can get further satisfaction by sharing with others. Perhaps you have bought something nice which makes your world feel brighter, why not share it with others? 🙂

 

Another part of this card is to think about the future, the long term, your legacy! Can you do something this week to help that? It might be time to get serious and mature and have a long term financial plan in place. It could be a good week to set up a fund for the future, take out a pension or get your will written! Why not buy a tarot deck you saw as a collectors item 🙂 . It might be 5 times the price in ten years! Just some ideas 😉

Hello my dear friends! How many important answers! (let's face it, this forum is full of passionate tarot experts) 🤩

 

Hey @euripides, how are you? Thank you for your answer! 😀
Going to the end and finishing, concluding, makes a lot of sense to me! Mainly because I'm on the final stretch of a goal (and thinking every day about giving up - even though I keep trying). Very interesting that you mention the tree and its fruits, not only because this letter mentions family trees, but also because of the representation of the Kabbalistic tree of life. How many things to explore! Thank you friend!

 

This is so important and profound, @KiMo! How are you?

Thank you so much for your reply! I had never thought of this card as an incentive to expand focus. It's brilliant, my friend! 🙂

 

Hello @DanielJUK, its always very nice talking to you! How are you? 😁

I love your contributions! I have now accessed the association's website and instagram - they are so great! I've already started following them, YAY! I went directly to the post you mentioned. What a crazy connection to the fool!

Your insights are very relevant. And the way you fit big ideas ("share, leave a legacy, think ahead") into concrete, everyday situations is soooo enlightening.

Thank you so much!
