Ten of Pentacles

The Ten of Pentacles in its upright position suggests that your relationship not only has long-staying power, but it’s also a fruitful one and something that will be remembered by all your friends and family. You and the love of your life are both extremely prudent when it comes to expenses, and you have a solid connection that transcends mere description. It’s unique all on its own and doesn’t rely on external validation. Each argument you may have along the way will simply improve your character and no power on this earth can stop you. All these hold the promise of a stable and loving relationship. Your imperfections don’t matter to one another because you have gone past that and instead came to love and accept every inch of the person you are with. In short, your partnership is destined to last for the long term. The maturity that you and your significant other exhibited is enough proof that your love for one another transcends that of the physical. It is almost safe to say that it is near-spiritual! You do not look at social media for approval, nor see public displays of attention as necessary (but you also do because you want to do it to your partner, and not for show) is enough evidence of the connection that was mentioned above. Indeed, love may be what makes the world go round, but it is also what keeps people steady and faithful at every step of the way.

The reverse position of the Tenth shows that your relationship has internal cracks and is founded on superficial things. While bonding over unimportant things is a good step to knowing each other, if you’ve gotten past that phase and have been together for some time, that is no longer tenable. The two of you have to go beyond things like sex or dinner dates and start asking the hardest question: why do you love each other? This is because all relationships have to undergo that existential test, and failing this test means you won’t last long. Remember that infatuation is not enough to ensure the stability of a relationship. What you may find enjoyable in your partner, for now, will either be gone after some time. On the other hand, you will eventually tire of it, and subsequently, of your significant other. If you do not feel a sliver of love or any other feeling that can lead to it, then perhaps it is time for you to say goodbye and move on. Material or physical things will not keep your partnership alive; it is a firm commitment and unrelenting love that will (which, unfortunately, you do not have). But if your heart has decided that your partner is for you, then fight for your relationship! Explore areas where the two of you will know each other. Go beyond the person whom you see, and be truly intimate with another. Only then will you know who is the person that you're with.

Financial security is the one guarantee that the Ten of Pentacles brings to anyone wishing to put money in their pockets. In the image, there is an old man, which tangentially alludes to great life expectancy. Of course, the longer you live, the more opportunities you have for earning money, and also the more room for making mistakes and improving on them. This means that you have lived on your side in your quest for permanent financial security. People say that “with age comes wisdom,” and your experiences are proof of that adage. You have experienced so many things that will last the average person far too many lifetimes. Despite this all, you are still committed to leaving a legacy you and your descendants can be proud of. This will take time to accomplish, but if you work hard and long enough, you will get what you want and more. It is never too late to get that college degree that you’ve always wanted or to learn culinary skills and open the restaurant of your dreams. No matter what you are aiming for, this is your chance to turn your life around and make it the way you’ve always envisioned it to be. Through it all, there is one key thing to remember- persevere. Times will get tough, but it will be your dedication to living the good life that will help you weather all these challenges in your life. You are an extraordinary and fantastic individual; this is your chance to seize the day!

Just as the upright is good for all things long-term, the reversed position of this card is bad in every conceivable way. It means that all the material things you’re currently enjoying are, in fact, temporary. The little boosts in your salary as a result of you taking extra time may in fact be gone soon enough, and worse you might even be laid off due to a looming crisis within the company. Tough times are coming soon, and all the things you’ve taken for granted until now will be taken away, so get ready. Start saving up money and setting aside funds for yourself and your family. As much as possible, avoid unnecessary expenses such as eating out or going on impromptu shopping trips. Create viable budget plans that will not hurt the bank. Be aware of any news and forecasts regarding your workplace and the economy in general. As events unfold, take note of what you can do to adapt so that you can adjust accordingly and still keep your and your loved ones’ lives as comfortable as you can. These trying times will last for quite some time, so it is best that you prepare yourself as early as now. There is no telling when they’ll happen, so your preparations will be the key to you getting through this all. If you happened to gear yourself up well enough, then you can withstand challenges with no problem at all.
