10 Pentacles

The Card: An old man, a young man, a woman with a child, and dogs are present near the archway to a city.

Interpretation: There is a strong sense of completion in this picture; all the age-groups are here. The child, the young and the old. Even the pure instinctual nature is represented by the dogs. The journey from childhood to old age has been completed.

The cycle of childbearing is complete, the young man has come back from his journey, his staff is leaning against the portal. The old man is sitting with his refined wisdom at the market place, he doesn't make a show of himself. An aura of peace and love surrounds him and the dogs can feel it, thus they come to him.

Prediction: It's time to come home, you are reaching a place of fulfilment after a long long journey. Which ever the nature of the journey has been, you know what I am speaking about. You will come back to the childish innocence but with experience and equilibrium.

Keywords: Completion, coming home, wisdom and experience, timelessness, fulfilment.
