CARD MEANING

Upright:  This card represents family and tradition.  It could mean a passing down of knowledge from generation to generation or financial inheritance.  Depending upon where you are in your life, this card could point to retirement, calling you to rest in your accomplishments and enjoy your wealth and freedom.  It may also be telling you to listen to your elders as they have a wealth of wisdom to offer you.  The 10 of Pentacles may be calling you to listen to your spirit guides and tap into your ancestral knowledge for assistance with your troubles, seeking a shaman or intuitive healer if necessary.  It can also mean you need to spend more time with your family.

Reversed:  If this card is pulled in a reverse position, it may represent rebellion from doing things the same old way.  You may be resisting traditions and seeking a new way to go about the situation.  It could also mean that you are struggling with your roots, maybe family problems or issues with your cultural past.  Reversed also points to negative aspects of yourself that you have inherited or learned from your parents or grandparents which might be blocking your abundance, or an inherited burden you need to solve before moving forward.
