Alright folks, gather ’round! Today, I’m spilling the tea on my tarot journey, specifically diving deep into the 10 of Pentacles. Buckle up, because this was a ride!
It all started when I was feeling, let’s say, less than secure about my future. You know that feeling? Like you’re just floating, hoping something solid will appear. So, I grabbed my trusty Rider-Waite deck, shuffled those cards like my life depended on it, and asked, “What do I need to know about my long-term stability?” Bam! The 10 of Pentacles stared right back at me.
My first reaction? Honestly, confusion. I saw the picture: a family, an archway, coins everywhere. Looked kinda… fancy? So, naturally, I hit the books (and the internet, let’s be real). The standard interpretations were all about wealth, family legacy, security. Which, cool, but how did that apply to ME? I wasn’t exactly rolling in dough or inheriting a mansion anytime soon.
That’s when I decided to get practical. I didn’t just want the textbook definition; I wanted to feel what this card was about. So, I did a spread specifically focusing on different aspects of the 10 of Pentacles. I broke it down:
- What is my current foundation?
- What does “wealth” mean to me personally?
- How can I build a lasting legacy?
- What role does family (biological or chosen) play in my stability?
Answering these questions was tough! It forced me to really look at my life. My current foundation? Turns out, it wasn’t financial, but more about the skills I’d been building and the connections I’d made over the years. “Wealth” for me? Not just money, but also having strong relationships, good health, and the freedom to pursue my passions. Legacy? That hit hard. I realized I wanted to create something that would outlast me, something that would positively impact others.
Here’s where things got interesting. I started taking action based on these insights. I doubled down on honing my skills, networking like a pro, and investing in my health (hello, daily walks!). I also made a conscious effort to nurture my relationships with family and friends. I even started volunteering for a cause I cared about, thinking that could be part of my “legacy.”
And guess what? Things started shifting. Not overnight, mind you. But gradually, I felt more secure. Opportunities started popping up. My relationships deepened. I felt more fulfilled. It wasn’t about becoming rich or famous; it was about building a life that felt solid, meaningful, and rich in experiences.
The biggest takeaway? The 10 of Pentacles isn’t just about material wealth; it’s about creating a sense of lasting security and belonging in all areas of your life. It’s about building something that matters, not just for you, but for those around you. And honestly, that’s a lot more valuable than any pile of gold.
So, yeah, that’s my 10 of Pentacles journey. It’s still ongoing, but I’m definitely feeling more grounded and grateful. Hope this helps you on your own tarot adventures!
