Ten of Coins
Ten of Coins
Description
A bearded elderly man sits in a garden writing a letter. He leans on a
book to write, and a dog sits beside him. There is a vine on the wall
and a large tub of rosemary. A young couple walk behind him in
animated conversation. The young couple wear elaborate finery but the
elderly man wears more practical attire.
The young couple in the background were actually married, and in their
lifetime these two portraits hung as a pair. Sadly, they have now been
separated and are in different collections. I enjoyed reuniting the
couple digitally. They look very much in love.
Meanings
A valuable legacy. Domestic harmony, a fine home and financial
security. An inheritance accrues. Wisdom formed by experience. Loyalty
and remembrance.
Reversed
Security surrendered. Fear of responsibility, a desire for freedom.
Seeking escape from a comfortable walled garden where all your desires
are met, but there are no challenges to stimulate you.

TEN OF PENTACLES
Attribution - Mercury in Virgo
The suit of Pentacles represents the element earth. This is the suit
through which we can appreciate what we have been given and it shows
how we experience the external world.
Pentacles can represent money matters, resources, security, material
concerns, prosperity, wealth, service, status, and physical
experiences in the body.
Tens represent the end of a cycle and the beginning of a new one,
summing up, using one's experience, renewal, return to unity,
totality, completed circumstances, the finish, transformation, now
you've gone too far.
Rider-Waite Imagery

child's hand is on one of them.

The Ten of Disks
The Lord of Wealth talks not only about material wealth and its
appropriate use, but about the inner wealth and resources that we all
have. This is a card that teaches us that the harvest we gather in our
lives is the end result of all that we have put into living - and more
importantly, how we have used the riches at our disposal.
We make our own realities with every thought, every deed, every wish.
And when we direct our energies positively we shall arrive - as a
perfectly natural consequence - at the 10 of Disks. Of course, if we
direct our energies negatively we'll find ourselves with the 10 of
Wands, or the 10 of Swords - neither of which are happy cards!
There is a warning connected to this card though. When we have created
sufficient wealth to make ourselves comfortable and contented, if we
have a surplus, then we must make that surplus work. We cannot expect
energy to flow freely in our lives if we hoard it, and try to hang on
to it. This is as pointless as trying to save up the breeze so that it
will blow on a stuffy day! There are some things in life you cannot
clutch tight in the hand without crushing their value out of them.
If this card comes up in an everyday reading, it re-assures that
financial and material matters are proceeding well, and that there is
no cause for concern.
If it comes up in a more spiritually based reading, then we need to be
applying the underlying principles to our lives - so in this case, we
need to be letting our inner wealth show, in order to manifest that
into our lives.
Working with the Ten of Disks
The Lord of Wealth is a card which talks about the manifestation of
the fruits of our labours, in whatever area they have been directed.
When we have aimed all our energies in a single stream of force toward
one end, there comes a point, inevitably, where we shall attain our
objective. And that is what the 10 of Disks indicates.
Often, commentaries on this card warn that once sufficient wealth has
been attained, you should make sure you distribute excess fairly and
generously. This is because energy which remains unused eventually
corrupts and dissipates.
But there's another aspect to the right use of energy which is not so
often addressed. This is to do with the way the Will works. There's a
common misunderstanding about the use of Will among us - we tend to
think that applying Will is something that we only do consciously.
This is incorrect. The human Will works all the time. It runs around
happily creating whatever seems most pressing in your mind.
This has a rather unfortunate side effect. For many people, the most
pressing emotions and responses in their minds are connected to fear,
pain, unhappiness or deprivation. Once seized by feelings such as
these, it can be very difficult indeed to keep your mind off them, and
engage in positive thoughts, affirmations and actions.
You know the feeling.something comes along and hurts you. Then you
suffer. You keep circling the issue in your mind. You build up a nice
collection of fears. You make a lot of (often wildly illogical)
painful associations. And you do not find a relevant affirmation and
repeat it with extraordinary fervour until you have your feelings back
under control. You do not go and do something nice for yourself. You
do not deliberately force your thoughts and feelings onto a more
positive track.
All the time that cycle is taking place, your Will is wildly
scampering after all those negative feelings and channelling your
energy out into life, attempting to create the things it thinks you
want!
DOH!!!! Dissipation of power causing chaos!!
The Lord of Wealth teaches us the invaluable lesson...by bringing our
thoughts and emotions to a conscious level, and by making positive
choices about how we direct those energies, we create our world. So we
need to decide what we what, and then think about that...not linger on
the things that we don't want. And we need to trust our own energy to
fly out into the Universe and come back to us completed.
Then we are endlessly wealthy.
Affirmation: I am endlessly wealthy.

Wordsmith.org The Magic of Words
Jan 9, 2012
This week's theme
Words coined using combining forms
This week's words
duopsony
A.Word.A.Day with Anu Garg
Poets, novelists, essayists, and anyone who writes uses the same
currency: words. That's all they need to say to say all there is to
say. The trick is to choose the right denomination and arrange them in
the right way. There are times when nothing quite fits, and then you
can invent your own. You have the building blocks. This week we'll
feature five words made by using combining forms.
What are combining forms? You can think of them as Lego (from Danish,
leg: play + godt: well) bricks of language. As the term indicates, a
combining form is a linguistic atom that occurs only in combination
with some other form which could be a word, another combining form, or
an affix (unlike a combining form, an affix can't attach to another
affix).
duopsony
PRONUNCIATION:
(doo-OP-suh-nee, dyoo-)
MEANING:
noun: A market condition in which there are only two buyers, thus
exerting great influence on price.
ETYMOLOGY:
From Greek duo- (two) + -opsony, from opsonia (purchase).
NOTES:
Here's a little chart that explains it all:
monopoly: one seller, many buyers
duopoly: two sellers, many buyers
oligopoly: a few sellers, many buyers
monopsony: one buyer, many sellers
duopsony: two buyers, many sellers
oligopsony: a few buyers, many sellers
USAGE:
"The BBC-ITV duopsony was gone for good, and the competition between
the TV companies as purchasers of the rights intensified."
Stephen Dobson and John Goddard; The Economics of Football; Cambridge
University Press; 2011.
Explore "duopsony" in the Visual Thesaurus.
A THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
Humor is emotional chaos remembered in tranquility. -James Thurber,
writer and cartoonist (1894-1961)

approbation of Milton."
