The 10 of Pentacles Tarot card from the Universal Waite Tarot deck. A man and woman dance in the centre of the card, the man facing away and the woman facing towards the viewer. An old man watches them whilst petting two dogs. A child holds the hem of the woman's dress. They are under a stone archway with a castle in the background. 10 golden coin shaped pentacles are arranged on the card in the shape of the Qabalistic Tree of Life. GIFT
The combined strengths and legacies of your family and ancestors is the Gift of the 10 of Pentacles. Take some time to appreciate them, even if those strengths and legacies have come via learning what NOT to do. INVITATION The 10 of Pentacles invites you to consider what you will leave for those who come after you. What qualities of character and memories of you will your loved ones inherit, in addition to what they might (or might not) receive materially. CHALLENGE The Challenge of the 10 of Pentacles is to remember to value people over money and possessions. Got a choice to make? The solution is to look at what benefits people, not what makes the most money. (Hint: the Gift is the grace that is already given us to overcome the Challenge, so if you chose the Challenge, also see the Gift.) About the image: An elderly, bearded figure wearing a colourful cloak sits with their back to the viewer, reflecting on their long, rich life as Death approaches. They are reaching down to pat a white dog sitting by their knee. There is another dog close by, a small child resting their hand on it’s back. This vignette recalls the first card of the Tarot, The Fool where we see a young person dancing on a cliff's edge with a dog dancing beside them. Perhaps this is the Fool at the end of their journey, their faithful friend still at their side. Two figures stand beneath an arch. One figure has their back to the viewer and holds a staff, wearing orange shirt and a blue robe. The other has their face to the viewer but are looking at their counterpart. They wear a red shirt and brown robe, with a flower crown on their head. In the background is a walled city with a tall tower. Ten yellow pentacles are scattered around the card. A small child holds the hem of their skirt with one hand, and has the other hand on the back of one of the dogs. #TarotCraft #TenOfPentacles #DailyTarotReading #AllisonJeanTarotCraft |
