Okay, so I’ve been diving deep into Tarot lately, and the 10 of Pentacles has really stuck with me. I wanted to really get it, you know? Not just memorize some keywords, but really understand what it means in a practical sense.
So, first, I pulled out my trusty Rider-Waite deck (it’s my go-to for learning). I spread out all the cards and found the 10 of Pentacles. I just sat there and looked at it for a good five minutes. I mean, really looked. The old man, the family, the dogs, the coins everywhere… it’s a busy card!
Then I grabbed my journal and started jotting down my initial impressions. Words like “abundance,” “family,” “legacy,” and “security” all came to mind. It felt…stable. Like a solid foundation.
Next, I did some reading. I didn’t want to get bogged down in too much detail at this stage. Checked a couple of my favorite tarot books. Basically, they reinforced my initial thoughts: long-term success, inheritance, a sense of belonging, lasting wealth that goes beyond just money.
- The old man,passing his hard-earned success down.
- Family. That is what I want to build.
- All of the dogs, playing around.
Here’s where it got interesting. I decided to track the 10 of Pentacles in my own life. For a week, I paid attention to moments that felt like the energy of that card.
I found myself reflecting on my grandfather, he did past away a long time ago, but I thought about him more. And the family business, you know, how it started from nothing and supported us for generations. That felt very 10 of Pentacles. Even a conversation, an argument, with my partner about our long-term financial goals – building our “empire,” so to speak – had that same vibe.
And it wasn’t just about money! One evening, I cooked a big family dinner. It sounds to me that it can mean passing down traditions. Everyone gathered around the table, laughing, sharing stories… that sense of connection, of belonging, that’s 10 of Pentacles too.
By the end of the week, I felt like I had a much better grasp of the card. It wasn’t just some abstract concept anymore. It was about creating something lasting, whether it’s a business, a family, a home, or even just a strong sense of community. It’s about the long game, the big picture. It is about my grandpa.
I finished up by writing a summary in my journal. Now, I’m no Tarot expert, but this process really helped me connect with the 10 of Pentacles on a personal level. It’s about building something that lasts, something you can be proud of, something that provides security and a sense of belonging. And that’s a pretty powerful message.
