Ten of Pentacles:

The Ten of Pentacles often reveals to the enquirer that they will have great material success, but it will be achieved only after many years of efforts and therefore not altogether satisfactory.

The Page of Pentacles

Queen of Pentacles:

King of Pentacles:

The King of Pentacles represents as a significator a practical man, in their late Middle Ages or old age.

The King of Pentacles represents a devoted friend or lover, although rarely a demonstrative one, who is capable of being a vigorous opponent of those things and people he dislikes. It can also indicate the qualities associated with such a man – quiet energy, steadfastness of purpose and implacability.
