Lay low. The 10 of Coins is a card of ‘having it all’, that is, everything the world has to offer. It’s a wealthy card, period. Property, respect, legacy, you’ve done very well, or your family has done very well and you’re the fortunate beneficiary of quite a windfall. Or it is your own ‘balanced’ and ‘conservative’ handling of your long-term finances. Your current abundance and wealth is something you or your family or ancestors planned for and have accumulated over time, or it is you building a legacy.
This is almost an ‘I won the lottery and it ruined my life’ sort of feeling, but the down to earth suit of Earth is not much of a gambler. Conversely, it can mean a long wait for a lot of money or recognition you may not receive in the end after an unsuccessful negotiation.
In the past position is the 50’ tall Angel of Temperance, XIV of the Major Arcana and a Sagittarius. In the past position or as the foundation of today’s contemplation it’s a great card. This is about time or ‘perfect’ timing, and in this position it’s been a long time – or a long wait.
This is the card of the Alchemist. We watch the Angel mix and blend whatever mysterious liquid we see being poured back and forth – timing is everything when Temperance shows up, and when it comes to the concept of time, we have no clue. The Angel does, of course, and as tall as he or she is, has the ‘bigger picture’ and the ‘longer view’. This Angel could represent protection and intervention from the Other Side, and along with the multi-generational 10 of Coins – where we see an elderly man, a young couple and their toddler toddling. The Angel looks down over them all.
Stability.
This is a fortunate, blessed spread, but there is another interpretation that I found best expressed by Hexagram #47 of the IChing (Book of Changes, Richard Wilhelm translation), “Oppression”.
Nine in the fourth place:
He comes very quietly, oppressed in a golden carriage. Humiliation, but the end is reached.
A well-to-do man sees the need of the lower classes and would like very much to be of help. But instead of proceeding with speed and energy where there is need, he begins in a hesitant and measured way. Then he encounters obstructions. Powerful and wealthy acquaintances draw him into their circle; he has to do as they do and cannot withdraw from them. Hence he finds himself in great embarrassment. But the trouble is transitory. The original strength of his nature offsets the mistake he has made, and the goal is reached.
Interesting.
The 6 of Clubs (Leo/Aries/Sagittarius) in the upcoming position is about leading or following, public acclaim, admiration and accomplishment. In the upright, a hero leads a victory parade on horseback, prize held high on a pole for all to see.
In the reverse, this is a card of failure or of feeling like one. In the reverse, another phrase from the ICHING comes to mind: hiding one’s light under a bushel.
This can be a lack of confidence, insecurity, even ‘imposter syndrome’ or of feeling undeserving – or others feel or tell you that you are undeserving, even family members. This is letting what other people think and say get to you.
Hopefully, the 10 of Coins knows who his or her real friends are.

Hi Johnette,
This is spot on as so much of this happening in face of storms and fire disasters and in legislation. You are such a brilliant woman and this is reflected in your Tarot interpretations.
Love, Light and Brightest Blessings to you Glorianna Graciela
