Your Personal Ten of Coins

If you could have everything you really wanted ... what would you have?

In traditional Tarot decks, that's the theme of the Ten of Coins. Ten is the number of fullness and finality. Coins is the suit of physicality and finance. The old Rider-Waite illustration -- an older man, surounded by family and possessions -- captures the idea pretty well. (The old man's slumped posture also hints at the weariness that can be associated with the psychic weight of "having it all.")

Today, take out the Tarot deck of your choice and pull the Ten of Coins. Breathe deeply. Dwell on the picture. For just five minutes, focus exclusively on this card and how it expresses the energy of the Ten of Coins. Is it positive? Is it negative? What does this card have to say about having it all?

That done, step outside the boundaries of that image and consider the question: In order for me to "have it all," what do I really need to have? In the Tarot of Your Life, what image is on your personal Ten of Coins?

The answer may surprise you.
