73. Ten of Pentacles

A legacy passed on

The Ten of Pentacles is legacy, lasting wealth, and family stability. Generations gather within a prosperous estate — a card of enduring security, inheritance, and abundance built to be shared and passed on.

Beneath an archway an elder sits with dogs, and ten pentacles are arranged where family and a child gather. The Ten of Pentacles stands for legacy, family, and enduring wealth. It is the card of stability and prosperity handed down across generations, beyond the individual.

Money
