You are referring to the Ten of Pentacles, yes? The rat is a symbol of adaptability and hard work. He suggests keeping an eye on your resources and to use them wisely. The Romans viewed the rat as a symbol of prosperity. The tortoise in the foreground says, slow and steady, and refers to building up an estate, tradition, structure or business over a period of time.The Ten of Cups presents a typical family scene but only the mother and daughter. There is also a family of cats sitting in front of a house. Instead of a rainbow line, we can see an image of ten cups arranged in an arc over that house. Marchetti mentioned this is the scene where the head of the family is coming home to his wife and children. It is quite confusing as part of the family is missing here.

After a long wait, the commercial edition of the Gilded Tarot has now been published by Llewellyn. My copy arrived this morning and I thought it appropriate to review it, as a postscript to my original article on the limited edition. Six of Pentacles– Which figure do you identify with? Sharing, giving, receiving, financial/material relief. A debt repaid. Justice 11— “Sign here, please.” Legal issue, court case, settlement, retribution, divorce finalizes, property conveyancing. Career connected to law or contracts. Balance, justice prevails.Temperance 14— “I’d like to teach the world to sing…” Harmony, healing, blending, integration, moderation, consideration. Good chemistry, balance. Conservation and care of the environment. Queen of Cups– Empathic, compassionate, emotionally supportive, good listener, gentle, quiet, reserved. Loves babies and children. The Fool is at the beginning of his journey. All possibilities and seeming contradictions exist in this moment. The signs of the zodiac that he so carefully juggles indicate both the science of the heavens and the vastness of human imagination. These symbols represent all types of personality traits. Which one will he end up with? Will he make this important choice or will the choice be made for him by chance? Is he playing when he should be serious, or is his play filled with wisdom? Speaking of playing, is that gold hoop at his feet something he should be paying attention to, or is it a possible distraction? The Fool does not know, nor doe he much care. He lives in the moment, filled with wonder and curiosity, not worried about where the journey will end. King of Swords– Authoritarian, intellectual, usually at the top of his profession (lawyer, surgeon, writer, etc.). Fair, takes responsibility, good communicator, logical, clear thinker, commands respect. Fair with his children but never indulgent.
