Ten of Pentacles
family, legacy, stability
Several generations of a family gather under an archway, with their dogs and their home. Lasting prosperity, home, roots and what passes from parents to children. Wealth in the broad sense, including the wealth of your bonds.
The image and its symbolism
Under a stone archway, an old man in an embroidered cloak pets two white dogs. Beside him, a couple talks and a child clings to the woman. A house and a tower stand in the background, and ten coins trace the Tree of Life over the scene. Several generations together, the home, and what gets handed down from one to the next.
