TEN OF PENTACLES

Meaning

new era of prosperity, wealth, expanded responsibili­ties, empowerment

Symbols

The rabbit leaps through a field of blossoming dande­lions. The profusion of flowers connects with particles of star energy bursting into a night sky. The rabbit epitomizes fecundity and continual life energy. The spiral on its form is radiating golden energy and echoes the spirals of energy that are emanating from the pentacles. Earth and sky become one. Day and night converge. The lunar and solar energies are an integral part of the life cycle. The procreative powers of the vigorously moving rabbit signify property and wealth that can be gained after a period of hard work. Being fastidious can reap long-term rewards, even if chal­lenges threaten to disengage your spirit.

Description

The accumulation of wealth is not just isolated to the material. The satisfaction that you derive after enduring the many trials along the journey accentuates the healing nature of finally achieving your goals. You may see your responsibilities change and your personal needs adjust. This may reflect a desire for the intan­gible. Now is the time to indulge in happy times and reflect on your success, your relationships, and those things that transcend the superficial trappings of purely material concerns.

Tarot readings have a way of revealing the raw essence of your being. They can help shed light on aspects of your life that you may be neglecting or that you may have shut out from further introspection. Using the Animals Divine Tarot cards is one way for you to make contact with the animal spirits, but you must be proactive when summoning their advice.

The quickest and simplest way to make contact with the ani­mals in this deck is to study the cards themselves. Look through the deck and see which images immediately speak to you. Study those cards closely and try to find threads of connectivity between yourself and the imagery in front of you. Is there something about a particular card that reminds you of what you may be missing in your life? Does another card spark feelings of joy? What kinds of feelings and ideas surface as you gaze upon the cards and why do you think certain cards are triggering a particular response for you? Remember to look at the card and try to derive your own personal meaning without being too influenced by preconceived notions or even what the card is "supposed" to mean. The won­derful thing about tarot is that it is a versatile medium for self-discovery. You can utilize it in a manner that best reflects your needs at a particular moment. You can either choose to use the tarot cards alone or you can use them with a partner or group of people. It is entirely up to you.

When painting the Animals, Divine Tarot cards, I was in an almost trancelike, meditative state. This is when subtleties and sym­bolism, often without premeditative thought, would surface onto the paper. For me, using tarot cards in a reading or for meditative purposes exercises a similar function. It can help you go to another place, removed from distraction, where you can open yourself up to the messages that the cards may reveal to you. In the Animals Divine Tarot, the animals are wise, giving allies ready to accompany you into the adventurous and challenging land of self-exploration.
