When determining the Ten of Coins tarot card meaning, you should consider that it’s a Coins card and a Ten. The Suit of Coins represents the material world. Tens represent completion, exhaustion, and finality.

In this way, we can determine that the Ten of Coins represents financial celebrations.

Take a look at the Rider-Waite Ten of Coins displayed to the left (or above).

What is your first impression?

What is up with all these coins just floating around? Can you discern a pattern? Who are the figures? Did you notice all four immediately or was one (or more) hidden/obscured? What do the dogs want?

There’s no right or wrong answer here, just your interpretation.

Astrology: Mercury in Virgo
Element: Earth
Numerology: 10 (completion, exhaustion, finality)

Common Symbols

• An Abundance of Coins: the coins in this card commonly very prominent. It’s common for decks to shape them into a “tree of life” pattern. This represents overflow.
• The Thoughtful Elder: many decks depict an older person deep in thought. This represents exhaustion.

The Ten of Coins for Personal Growth

Affirmation: I keep physical and financial matters in perspective.

Your material possessions and finances do not define who you are as a person. Make sure you know and are at peace with you really are.

Ask Yourself:

• How much stuff do you really need?
• How do you feel about wealth and abundance? How do you define these terms?
• How might shedding some possessions open room in your life for growth?
• At what point do you believe physical possessions and concerns limit progress?
• Consider your wealth, family, and future. How do these topics play a role in your current situation?

Interpreting the Ten of Coins

Generally, the Ten of Coins represents financial celebrations. This is a time to consider, appreciate, and celebrate the good things. How lucky are you? Find satisfaction with your financial achievements.

Throw a little party and celebrate you and those around you. Have a feast! Shower your loved ones with gifts (that you can afford, no need to spend recklessly).

The Reversed Ten of Coins

How you read reversals is a personal choice. You can ignore reversals and read them as if the card is upright (this is what I often choose to do) or you can interpret reversals as variations of what they would mean upright. There are 3 common ways to read reversals: as a negative interpretation, as an opposite interpretation, or as a block on the upright interpretation. Check out How to Read Reversals for more information.

Typically, a reversed Ten of Coins represents trying too hard. Examples include:

• Giving extravagant or inappropriate gifts
• Purchasing extravagant items that you may not really be able to afford
• Trying too hard to impress others with your wealth
• Obsessing about money
