Ten of Pentacles (R)

Ten of Pentacles (R) says acknowledge when you are experiencing one problem after another, when nothing seems to run smoothly – when you feel lost and do not know what to do.  When you become bored – you lean towards doing nothing and you can easily be persuaded to go in the wrong direction.  If this sense of boredom increases – it can lead to taking financial or emotional risks – recognize that this urge to gamble everything, stands in direct opposition to your basic qualities of caution, skill and foresight.  Sometimes a risk is justified, depending on the projected results – but, if the risk comes from impatience, then troubles can arise from recklessness or doing things at the wrong moment.  You become so trapped by the need for material comfort that you become security conscious and the advancement mentality necessary for continuous growth.
