While the Three of Swords was about trauma, the Four of Swords is about the repose after the trauma. Perhaps you have gone through a terrible break up or just quit your job. The Four of Swords illustrates that ambiguous purgatory between decisions. The card encourages you to rest, meditate in order to make an informed decision on how to move forward.
The main figure in the Four of Swords is a prone soldier lying in a bed, which can even be a deathbed. His head-armour lying beside him shows that he is no more fighting but is proud of his achievements. The prone position offers a few interpretations. On one hand, the figure is preserved as a valiant soldier, their hands in a position of prayer and meditation. On the other hand, the figure is paralyzed and stagnant in their spiritual growth. It is up to the reader to interpret the figure’s position positively or negatively.
Three of the swords in the card hang above the prone soldier, pointing at his torso, while one of the swords is laid in the bed. The three swords illustrate the hardships faced by the human while he was active. The lone sword illustrates the person’s singular focus and effort to overcome the hardships.
Above the soldier, on the wall of the room, there is a mosaic window. The mosaic represents many of the themes found throughout tarot. The picture is separated, yet united, fragmented yet beautiful. Through the lens of the mosaic, much like the lens of tarot, people are able to see the wonders of life. In the middle of the mosaic window, ‘OM Shanti (ॐ शांति)’ is written. OM is written in Tibeti and SHANTI is written in Sanskrit. It signifies that the soldier’s death is not a tragic, mournful event. The knight is at peace. He fought the good fight and is now at rest.

The Three of Swords illustrates what swords can do against you. By their very nature, swords can hurt us and cause trauma. The Three of Swords suggests working through that trauma in order to come out stronger.
The Three of Swords is one of those rare cards that doesn’t depict a human figure in it. Instead, we get a close-up view of the most important part inside a human, the heart. The heart is the centre of our emotions. Its gigantic size in the card illustrates the power and authority of the organ. Its depiction also indicates the necessary combination of emotional strength and intellectual strength. The three swords depicted in the card, pierce the heart without making it bleed. This can be interpreted in a few ways. Positively, it could be interpreted as the union between the intellect and emotions, as described above. Negatively, it could be interpreted as the pain one feels when others use their intellect against us. In this interpretation, there is however hope in that the heart remains intact even after being stabbed. Whatever pain we may feel, it cannot break us.
Behind the stabbed heart, there are storm clouds and streaks of rain. The melancholy atmosphere reflects the pain of a heart stabbed. Some scholars have also noted that the streaks of rain appear similar to streaks of a mirror, make the card a reflection of ourselves.
Upright meaning
This card often represents heartbreak, loss, and betrayal. It suggests that you’re experiencing emotional pain or disappointment, and that you may need to confront the truth of a situation. The card encourages you to acknowledge your feelings and to work through your emotions in a healthy way.
Reverse meaning

The Two of Swords depicts a blindfolded figure wielding two swords. The card illustrates trust in one’s own intellect and a balance in one’s psyche. The Two of Swords appears whenever you are facing a difficult decision in your life.
The figure in the Two of Swords stands with their arms crossed. This posture suggests a strong defensive stance with a strong flow of energy throughout the body. With swords at the ready, the figure is far from helpless despite the blindfold. This figure is notably blindfolded. This reveals that the power of the mind is not limited to sight and sense perception. The blindfold also reiterates the traditional blinded figure of lady justice; the figure is unbiased in their judgement.
The glowing swords that the figure carries importantly extend beyond the limits of the card. This illustrates just how authoritative the swords are. It also reiterates the responsibility required of the sword wielder. Above the figure’s blindfold there is a divine third eye that the figure sees from. Devoid of physical sight, the figure relies solely on their intelligence. Behind the figure is a vast waterbody, which is the Manas Sarobar in sacred Kailash Mountain. The water here represents the subconscious. Devoid of sight, the figure is having to rely on an intellect rooted in their psyche. The sickle moon in the sky illustrates the subconscious. The night sky is reflective of the figure’s lack of sight. The moon also compliments the ocean in painting a picture of the figure’s psyche.
Upright meaning
This card often represents balance, decision-making, and compromise. It suggests that you’re weighing your options and trying to find a middle ground between different perspectives or ideas. The card encourages you to trust your instincts and to find a solution that works for everyone involved.
Reverse meaning
This card can indicate indecision, conflict, or avoidance. You may be struggling to make a decision or to find a way to resolve a conflict. The card suggests that you may need to confront the issue head-on and find a way to move forward.
Ace of Swords illustrates a hand materializing from a cloud and offering the suit to the reader. This is a reminder that the suit is a gift to be rejected or accepted. In accepting the suit, the reader begins their participation with the divine.
The sword combines the will of the wand suit and the mind of the cups suit. It can thus be conceived as the intellect incarnate. Double-sided and sharp, the sword illustrates the effectiveness and complexity of our psyche. Above the sword, there hangs a crown. This reveals the regality and authority of the sword. The four points of the crown, combined with the point of the sword, makes five, also revealing the quintessence of the suit.Two plants spring out from the crown. This could be interpreted in a few ways. It could reveal that swords exercise their control onto nature. The majestic lotuses, celebrate the regality of the sword.
Around the sword, there floats six drops of gold. Like the plants, this too could be interpreted in a few ways. On a basic level, they could illustrate the divine spark incapsulated in the sword. Behind the elegant sword are still the jagged mountains (the Himalayas). This reveals that, even after gaining the powerful weapon of the sword, the road ahead will still be rough. The hand firmly holds the swords. Thus the card tells you to be confident and take the sword as a gift.
Upright meaning
This card often represents new beginnings, clarity, and truth. It suggests that you’re gaining a new perspective or insight into a situation, and that you’re able to cut through confusion and see things clearly. The card encourages you to use your intelligence and critical thinking skills to solve problems and make decisions.
Reverse meaning
This card can indicate confusion, lack of clarity, or dishonesty. You may be struggling to make sense of a situation, or you may be dealing with people who are not being truthful with you. The card suggests that you may need to take a step back and reassess the situation before making any major decisions.
Uniform Civil Code (UCC) is a recent proposition by the Indian government that wants to nullify the personal laws based on religions in the aspects of marriage, divorce, maintenance, adoption etc. In India, different religions have different norms in these aspects and these norms are created by religious institutions. The constitution of India gave the religious institutions the freedom to create such personal laws.
After independence of India, the UCC was not imposed due to social and political tensions. Instead, implementation of UCC was kept aside as a duty for the future government. Since then, there have been many legal cases where it was seen that the constitution of India and the personal laws are contradictory to the point it promoted religious conversion, gender inequality and injustice.
As an example, the constitution of India says that after divorce, husband must give allowance to the ex-wife as maintenance. But, in the popular case of Shah Bano in 1978, this rule of constitution was negated by Muslim Sharia Law that says that the husband needs not to provide for the ex-wife after triple talaq. As the constitution says that all Indians have the fundamental right to follow their own religious practices, the particular norm of constitution was overruled by the sharia law. This verdict (1980) was strongly opposed by many liberals and pro-women entities as it should be. However, due to Muslim Law Board, the government had to amend the constitution itself.
Now, in 2023, the government has proposed the UCC that has a few fundamental rules related to marital matters. The UCC, if imposed, will overrule the sharia laws like the one mentioned earlier. The particular points in the UCC are-
Compulsory registration of marriage irrespective of religion – There are different types of marriage namely registry marriage, social marriage etc. The registry marriage offers a legal proof of marital bonds between two entities. Whereas, the social marriage is based on cultural norms- just like in Hinduism, people revolve around the fire 7 times and exchange garlands, give sindoor etc. This social marriage is based on trust and morality. In one hand, the UCC may give more power to women in case the abrupt divorce happens. On the other hand, it fails to recognize the aspect of mutual trust and morality in the sacred bond of marriage. Personally, I believe that for Hindu community in India, this law of UCC has no meaning because Sanatani people always respects the sacred ground of marriage. On the other hand, this may empower the Special Marriage Act that lets a Hindu person remain Hindu and still marry a Muslim or Christian person through court marriage (whereas the Muslim personal law mandates Islamic conversion).
Age of consent of marriage should be uniform – For different cultures, age of marriage is different. In some tribes, people marry during teenage years whereas, in some places, a legal age of 18 is maintained for marriage. The UCC proposes that all around India, there will be a legal age of marriage irrespective of religion of culture. In my opinion, on one hand, this can help in reducing the number of child marriages. Furthermore, it will reduce the cases of death where minor girls pass away during child-birth. On the other hand, it may impose burden on poor families who wishes to marry off their daughters due to financial reasons. Plus, imposing a rule does not mean that people will follow that. It is not like a girl can be under 18 and ‘cannot’ marry, people will do that discreetly anyway. Also, for Hindu community, this rule has no effect because it is hard to find examples where a Hindu girl gets married before turning 18. Even if such case occurs, the UCC won’t be able to stop it anyway. In case such case comes forward and police intervenes, bribing is always a way to avoid chaos. Thus, corruption may increase.
If there is an irrevocable breakdown point in marital life, either parties will get the right to have divorce. – This means that if a marriage has become such useless that either party is finding impossible to remain in the marital bond, both parties have the right to appeal for divorce. Again, this norm fails to recognize the sacred platform of marriage that is based on trust and love. As per traditional Hindu marriage, once two entities get married, their bond is everlasting. Hindus don’t get married thinking that they will get divorced or they will screw each other’; our Sanatani culture is thus an anti-divorce culture. However, some Christian laws regarding divorce are supposedly gender-biased. As an example, the Goa Civil Code says that if a wife commits adultery, the husband can seek divorce. However, a wife can seek divorce if husband’s adultery is socially scandalous or the husband performs adultery in the same house or abandons the wife. Apparently, the UCC will give equal opportunities to the Christian wives in term of divorce but from the perspective of justice, this point of UCC has no value. It is due to how men and women think and act. Our world is sexist; men and women promiscuity are different. A woman’s worth lies in her chastity and character whereas, a man’s worth lies in his achievements and personality. This is why, it is as easy for a woman to be promiscuous as it is hard for a man to build his worth to get multiple partners. A man who is of high value, does not have to seek multiple women, rather, women will be willing to be with such man. Look at the female fan followers of any politician and celebrity. In many cases, even if a wife knows about husband’s adultery, she does not want to seek divorce because of emotional bondage, children, security, social conditions etc. Also, from a psychological perspective, in such cases, a wife would not want to leave a desirable man. Yes, it is true that UCC will help the wife to get allowance and property from the ex-husband but a woman’s true happiness hardly depends upon materialism. I actually think that this rule of UCC will affect the natural feminine side of women as they might abuse this as a new tool to simply seek emotional violence. The failure of our society is that we made everyone believe that a girl is unsuccessful unless she is earning money or competing with boys. On the other hand, we failed boys to teach how to become a responsible man.
Both spouses are equally entitled to property acquired after marriage. – This norm will be helpful again in case of divorce because then no party will be able to deprive the other party from properties. In my perspective, this is a gender-neutral law because then both husband and wife can get portions of each other’s properties. However, again, the rule fails to recognize the spiritual and moral aspects of marriage because it focuses only on materialism. I am also afraid that this norm may make either party to file divorce on the partner based on minor issues or even falsely accuse just to acquire properties.
Bigamy upon conversion will be banned- As per Islamic personal laws, a Muslim man can have multiple wives. Supposedly, this is one reason that makes a Hindu man convert into Islam. I personally believe that it is a very foolish thing because- to have multiple happy partners, a man needs not to change religion, but to develop his earnings and personality. On one hand, this particular rule may make a Hindu guy think twice before conversion as he is about to do something illegal but on the other hand, it is questionable how many people will actually follow the law.
Now, let’s discuss upon different reactions about the UCC.
Most Hindus are very happy about the UCC. And I have no idea why so, because Hindus are not gaining anything. The UCC is mostly about reforming the Islamic laws by removing triple talaq (oral divorce without giving allowance), keeping multiple wives, nikah halala (a Muslim can remarry his divorced wife only if the woman is married to another person and receives talaq) etc. But there is no such customs in Hindu community, so why are Hindus ecstatic about this? One thing that can benefit Hindus is that, the Muslims may get disturbed and leave India, which may enhance the chance of forming a Hindu rashtra, but honestly the chance is insignificant because of the aspect of land-jihaad. Muslims are unlikely to leave Indian land. A more possible case is that there will be riots from the Muslim community that will hamper lives of normal citizens. Also, implementing a law does not mean changing mindset and morality. When there are laws, there will always be people who will break the laws.
The feminist groups say that UCC is for women empowerment. Again, I have no idea how so because as discussed earlier, it only focuses on material aspects but hardly on the spiritual aspect. What is the meaning of such wealth if it comes at a cost of one’s happiness? A woman receives ultimate happiness from love and emotions, not by property. In my opinion, UCC is against femininity. Feminists may say that polygamy is an immoral practice. And in my opinion, polygamy is immoral only when a woman keeps multiple partners because then there is no way to know (without DNA testing) who is the father of her children. And if one husband is not the father then why would he provide for the wife or the child? On the other hand, polygyny (a husband keeping multiple wives) used to be a tradition in even Hinduism. We have seen kings who had multiple wives, even a few decades ago, there would be normal households where a Hindu man would keep two wives. The reasons might be the first wife was unable to bear children or she was sick to perform household or marital duties. But the husband was responsible enough to not abandon her but provide for her and perform the duties. But the constitution was implemented, such traditions were criminalized overnight. However, till date, keeping multiple wives based on mutual consents of all 3 parties (husband and wives) is possible. There have been multiple cases where the first wife would stay with the husband and the second wife for the sake of the children. On the other hand, there was no such rule for other religions, which paved the path for conversion- it is just too easy for a Hindu to become Muslim and marry 4 girls (due to Caste Disability Removing Act). Though it will reduce the power of Sharia laws, it has no meaning for Hindus.
Especially for Indian men, to be specific Hindu men, the UCC has no benefit at all. But they are supporting UCC only because of Modi-ji. While the society portrays toxic patriarchy, it fails to recognize that 52% Indian men face some type of violence (physical/sexual/emotional) in marriage, emotional violence being the most common (51%). Half of the marriages become sexless after a few years of marriage and in many cases, the wives manipulate the husband as if sex is a ‘reward’. As women say that their hormones make them emotional, similarly men’s hormones make them horny. If a woman wishes that a man will take care of her while she is emotional, it is also natural for a man to expect the same in return. Sex is the highest form of creative energy, but the Victorian laws and society has turned the concept of sex into something utterly dirty by brainwashing women that their chastity is not valuable. While women always play the role of a victim, still the suicide rate of men is much higher; in 2021, 72% suicide victims were men with compared to 27% women victims. No one talks about men being raped as if it is non-existent. The IPC-375 defines ‘rape’ as a criminal sexual act performed against (only) women by (only) men. So, it is always assumed that a rape victim will always be a woman and a rapist will always be a man. IPC-354 deals about harming the modesty of women by harassment, dis-robing and voyeurism. Here, a victim must be a woman as per the definition and the perpetrator must be a man. The IPC assumes that a man cannot have any modesty and also a woman can never harass another man or a woman. Sec 18 of Hindu Adoptions and Maintenance Act and Sec 125 of Criminal Procedure Code mandates a husband to give allowance to ex-wife. Now, let’s assume a scenario- in today’s India, girl education is promoted and girls perform better than boys in academics (check the pass rate in any exam). Due to gender-equality hype, girls are also more likely to get hired irrespective of skills. So, suppose a guy marries a working girl who is unable to perform the family duties of marital duties as society has brainwashed her to run after material achievements. The husband and wife earns equal but they are unhappy in the relationship so they decide to file divorce. But as per the laws, the guy must provide for the wife. This shows the pathetic condition of ‘equality’ in India. Sec 498 of IPC talks about domestic violence against women but in reality, men are much more victims of domestic violence which is proven by the aforementioned stats. Still, women play the victim card and ruin men’s lives. The Posh Act protects women against workplace harassment but there is no such laws for men. On the other hand, Hindu Marriage Act sections 24, 25 say that either parties can seek allowance based on financial condition- which is a truly gender neutral law.
So, in reality, UCC has no benefit for Hindus, especially Hindu men. Hindus are celebrating the UCC unnecessarily. Even if the bill passes from the court, many state governments will oppose it and apply for exemptions. As an example, in many North Eastern states, they follow a culture of keeping multiple partners. West Bengal may oppose the bill to appease the Muslim vote bank. Tamil Nadu may oppose it as well. So, the ‘uniformity’ of the UCC is hard to maintain. Instead we should divert our focus on some other laws that will help Hindus.
Criminal Law Bill 2019 – Here, the definition of ‘rape’ is amended and a more gender neutral focus is kept by saying the act can be done to any person by another person. This bill, if implemented, will help especially minor boy children in the country.
National Commission of Men – India has a national Commission of Women that has given women a platform to share their experiences regarding domestic violence, adultery etc. A true equality will come if a National Commission of Men is kept side by side so that men can at least have an equal opportunity to express their side of story.
Nullification of WAQF Act – This is an anti-Hindu law that gives Muslim Waqf board the power to claim any land they wish to have. Basically the law says if the board ‘thinks’ that a land belongs to them, they can claim that without any proof. This is basically a tool for land-jihaad. Waqf act should be banned.
Nullification of Places of worship act- Before 1947, many temples have been destroyed and mosques and churches have been built upon it. However, the opposite of this has not happened. The Places of Worship Act says that, as of 15/08/1947, wherever a temple/mosque/church remains, the land will belong to that institution. This act fails to address those hundreds of cases where temples were demolished in the past few hundred years.
Temples should be free from state government control – While Islamic institutions govern mosques and Christian entities govern churches, temples are governed by state governments instead of Hindu entities. This should change because in many cases, the government individuals are non-Hindus and do not know about the customs and rituals that should be followed. Moreover, in many cases, the government are accused of misusing the funds raised by temples to even act against the devotees of the temple.
The Hindu Code bill (by Ambedkar and Nehru) has harmed Hindu community because it paved the path of conversion by empowering the Islamic personal Laws. Plus, this bill has harmed Hindu wives because once the husband got converted, he deprived the wife of all his properties due to the Islamic personal laws.
More than any law, we need moral reformation where we need to teach ourselves and the children about their natural gender roles and the importance of responsibility.
Now, does this mean Hindus should oppose the bill? Actually , no, we should support it because it is at lease not an anti-Hindu bill like the existing laws. This law can help India to take one step towards Hindu rashtra and avoid becoming an Islamic state.
The King of Pentacles represents the attainment of spiritual maturity. He sits on his throne next to his big castle. He enjoys his material possessions. The King of Pentacles suggests we have authority over our wealth and encourages us to help others attain authority over theirs.
The king sits on his throne with a small sword in one hand and a pentacle in the other. It is unclear if his eyes are closed or if they are looking down. In any case, the king appears comfortable in his position, showing no signs of anxiety or paranoia. All across his robe, there are designs of grapes. Like in the Ten of Pentacles, grapes illustrate fertility and wisdom. Grapes traditionally represent a celebration of life and a maturity of spirit. As per Hinduism, grapes symbolise prosperity, abundance, luck, vitality and joy; it is also a major fruit offered to many deities including Lord Vishnu as bhog-prasad. The fruit illustrates the road to enlightenment as a sweet journey. He lacks any arrested development, reigning with confidence.
The king’s throne has four bulls carved into its stone. The bull is an old symbol for the earth, the element represented in the pentacles suit. The bulls on the four corners of the throne reflect the four corners of the earth. Bull also signifies Nandi, the companion of lord Shiv. Cows and bulls are normally a divine animal in Sanatani culture.
Behind the king, there is a large castle. The castle here is owned by the king. It represents the security and strength of material possessions. The king rules the castle as he rules the material world. Having one foot stand above something is traditionally viewed as a sign of dominance. The king therefore rules the material world. As the vines connect to the grapes, the king’s foot connects to the world, becoming an extension of him.
Upright meaning
The upright King of Pentacles represents wealth, security, and generosity. It suggests that you’re financially secure and able to provide for yourself and those around you. The card encourages you to be generous and to share your abundance with others.
Reverse meaning
The reversed King of Pentacles can indicate greed, materialism, or a lack of generosity. It suggests that you may be overly focused on material possessions or that you’re not sharing your abundance with others. The card encourages you to reassess your priorities and to find ways to be more generous and giving.

The Queen of Pentacles sits on her throne in the middle of a garden while staring lovingly at the pentacle in her lap. The card illustrates authority through compassion. Instead of ruling with an iron fist, the queen allows things to grow on their own. In her motherly patience, she becomes one with the world around her.
Rather than sitting upright and stiff on her throne like other queens, the queen in this card is stooping over the pentacle in her lap. She looks upon the gold pentacle with motherly love and care, as if the pentacle is her child. Rather than holding the pentacle in the tips of her hands, like in the Page and Knight cards, the queen holds it in her lap. This full embrace of the coin shows an intimacy that is lacking in the more objective illustrations in the suit.
Surrounding the queen and throne are red lotuses, signifying purity and divinity of goddess Lakshmi. In the lower righthand corner of the card, their hops a rabbit. Rabbits are typically symbols of fertility. The creature therefore adds to the themes of harvest, represented by the flowers and of intimacy, represented by how the queen holds the pentacle. In front of the queen, there is a Shivlinga and seems like the queen has just completed worshipping with a lot of flowers. She requests for longevity for her dear ones from Mrityunjay Shiv.
Upright meaning
The upright Queen of Pentacles represents nurturing, abundance, and practicality. It suggests that you’re able to create a stable and nurturing environment for yourself and those around you. The card encourages you to prioritize your own needs and to take care of yourself and your loved ones.
Reverse meaning
The reversed Queen of Pentacles can indicate neglect, materialism, or a lack of practicality. It suggests that you may be neglecting your own needs or that you’re overly focused on material possessions. The card encourages you to prioritize self-care and to find a balance between material and emotional needs.
A Fool, 21 Devatas & Bharat
A deck based on Sanatan Dharma & Bharatiya culture – the ‘INDIAN TAROTS’ cards created by Cardzz Solution
Unlike some of the other knights in the minor arcana, the knight of pentacles is calm and upright, carefully holding the pentacle up to the morning light. As one would expect from the material suit, the knight is heavily armored, ready for any battle that may come his way.
Distinct from other horses, the horse in this card is black and apparently standing still. His black color provides a stark contrast to the yellow background and causes the whole knight to standout in the card. Like the pentacle in the Page card, the pentacle here is the same color as the background, causing it to blend into the sky. While other knights are brash and headstrong, the pentacle forces the knight to be keen of his surroundings.
The plume coming out of the helmet is green and leafy. In contrast to the traditional red plume, the green plume connects the knight to the earth element. He is one with nature similar to the figure in the Nine of Pentacles. Clothing the horse in another contrasting color is a red bridle (lagaam). The horse and knight might be standing still, but the red bridle suggests a deeply seated passion that mimics the charging horses of other knights.
In juxtaposition with the green fields found in the Page card, the land here is tilled farmland. The ground that the knight is standing on is full of potential growth and sustainability. The ground thus illustrates the spiritual potential of a knight charging to manifest his vision.
Upright meaning
The upright Knight of Pentacles represents reliability, stability, and hard work. It suggests that you’re dedicated to your goals and that you’re willing to put in the effort required to achieve success. The card encourages you to be patient and to stay focused on your goals.
Reverse meaning
The reversed Knight of Pentacles can indicate stubbornness, resistance to change, or a lack of progress. It suggests that you may be resisting change or that you’re not making progress towards your goals. The card encourages you to be open to new ideas and to be more flexible in your approach.
The Page of Pentacles illustrates the beginning of an idea. Here, the page begins to appreciate the material world. He carefully observes the pentacle to make sure he isn’t missing anything. While not a master, the page exhibits the spark of curiosity that begins the path to mastery.
The page stands elegantly in a green field and holds up the pentacle in admiration. There is a stillness to the page that is absent in other page cards. He is carefully observing the pentacle to fully understand it. He is like a man who trying to flesh out a new idea before implementing it. For the first time, the pentacle is of the same colour as the sky. This makes it look as if it is blending in the background. It therefore takes the keen page to distinguish the pentacle from the world around him.
Like in most of the pentacle cards, the landscape is primarily a green field to signify the element of earth. In the background, you can see the tips of a blue mountain range of Himalaya. The page wears a green tunic. This matches the green of the landscape and illustrates spiritual growth and a fertility of ideas. In wearing green, the page, like the pentacle, is in harmony with nature. The page wears a red hat. Traditionally in Tarot, red represents passion and heart.
Upright meaning
The upright Page of Pentacles represents curiosity, opportunity, and practicality. It suggests that you’re eager to learn and explore new opportunities for growth and prosperity. The card encourages you to be practical and to focus on building a strong foundation for your future.
Reverse meaning
The reversed Page of Pentacles can indicate missed opportunities, lack of focus, or a lack of practicality. It suggests that you may be missing out on opportunities for growth or that you’re not being practical in your approach to achieving your goals. The card encourages you to stay focused and to be practical in your decision-making.
The card illustrates and old man and his family behind ten pentacles in the shape of the cabalistic ‘Tree of Life’. The old man has reached material fulfilment in his life and thus gained enlightenment. Instead of hoarding his possessions, he shares his abundance with his family.
The ten pentacles are arranged to match the 10 stages of the cabalistic Tree of Life. This furthers the connection that tarot has with mystical traditions in theistic religions. A reiteration of the Five of Pentacles, the arrangement here shows the harmonious connection material things can have with the divine.
The old man is the husband of the woman in the Nine of Pentacles later in years. While the woman in that card celebrated her own work, the man in this card uses his work to celebrate others. Wise in year, the man blesses his children and grandchildren with his abundance. The family if three is probably related to the old man. They are enjoying the abundance as the old man’s blessing. However, they are looking at each other, not at the old man, which might mean they are not aware of his blessings.
Two dogs stand at the feet of the old man. On the surface, this shows a harmony between man and the animal kingdom, similar to the Nine of Pentacles. If we take things a little deeper, dogs have a lot of significance in Sanatan culture. Dogs guard the pathway to heaven in Hindu belief. According to mythology, the keepers of the underworld, the Yamadutas, take the form of dogs. So, dogs assist in transitioning the soul to the afterlife. When the Pandavs were committing Mahaprasthan, Yama dev accompanied them as form of a dog. Lord Kaal Bhairav also has dog as his companion. The good relationship between the old man and the dog signifies that the old man is spiritually enlightened and not afraid of afterlife.
Many things in the Ten of Pentacles illustrate a harmony of opposites, man and animal, nature and civilization, material and spiritual. This harmony can be represented in the bridge connecting the hills behind in background. Grapes traditionally represent a celebration of life and a maturity of spirit. As per Hinduism, grapes symbolise prosperity, abundance, luck, vitality and joy; it is also a major fruit offered to many deities including Lord Vishnu as bhog-prasad. The fruit illustrates the road to enlightenment as a sweet journey.
Upright meaning
The upright Ten of Pentacles represents wealth, abundance, and family. It suggests that you’re experiencing financial success and that you’re surrounded by loving family and friends. The card encourages you to appreciate the blessings in your life and to share your wealth and abundance with others.
Reverse meaning
The reversed Ten of Pentacles can indicate financial loss, discord within the family, or a lack of stability. It suggests that you may be experiencing financial or emotional turmoil, or that your relationships with family members are strained. The card encourages you to seek support and to work towards creating a stable and loving environment for yourself and those around you.
