Ten of Pentacles

Beneath an archway, an old figure in a rich robe sits with two dogs, while a couple and a child stand in the courtyard beyond. Waite names gain and riches, family matters, archives and the family home.

The card is about what lasts across generations. Talking with relatives about a house, an old business or who looks after whom may be timely. Write agreements down, and ask a lawyer or financial adviser about anything involving property or estates.

Chance and loss arrive in this position, with robbery and games of hazard, and sometimes a gift, dowry or pension. Family money is in an unsettled state here, and the card offers no prediction of what happens to it.

Avoid betting a shared home or savings on a long shot, and set limits if gambling is part of the picture. Disagreements over a pension or gift deserve advice from a qualified professional.
