Upright In matters of the heart, the 10 of Pentacles predicts long-term happiness in your love life. Your current or future relationship will be built on a strong foundation of mutual trust and respect, and you will both enjoy stability and security. Should you choose to settle down and have a family, your offspring will benefit from your prudence: invest wisely, set up a will, and, if possible, buy a house to raise your children in.
- If you’re in a relationship: Time to celebrate: you and your partner may soon take your relationship to the next level, whether that’s becoming exclusive, moving in together, getting married, or having a child.
 - If you’ve been experiencing conflict in your relationship lately, consider that your and/or your partner’s behavior may have been passed down from previous generations. These problems may be fixable if you can both address them head-on and without shame.
- If you’re single: You are likely to meet someone soon who shares your values and with whom you can settle down. This person is as committed, mature, and devoted as you, and they’ll be willing and eager to put in the hard work to build a life together. But don’t be afraid to take things slow anyway—after all, the future is a long time, so you can afford to be cautious.
- If you asked a yes or no question, the 10 of Pentacles upright means "yes."

Reversed Upside-down, the 10 of Pentacles may indicate trouble is brewing in your love life. It could indicate domestic conflict or even a breakup—or it may simply indicate you’re not ready for a committed relationship at the moment, so no need to force one.
- If you’re in a relationship: You may be going through a rough patch with your partner—especially one pertaining to financial disputes—and it might be worth questioning if this relationship is right for you. Either you or your partner may be struggling with finances or putting material wealth ahead of your relationship, causing you both to suffer and feel disconnected from one another. Address this problem directly before it gets any worse.
- If you’re single: This card in reverse may suggest you’re out for a fun time without necessarily thinking of settling down just yet. If so, rock on! Don’t give in to any pressure to commit before you’re ready.
 - This card could also indicate what you’re looking for in a relationship is a bit unconventional and therefore rare—but you may find it soon. Just be patient, and don’t settle for anything less than you need and want.
- If you asked a yes or no question, the 10 of Pentacles reversed means "no."
